Center your fabric face up on the Styrofoam square Fold the fabric<br />edges over sides of the Styrofoam and secure with straight pins. Wrap<br />the corners neatly and pin. (see figure 1)</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">2. Turn your Styrofoam over so the fabric side is down. Take your<br />sphagnum moss and stretch it out across the top of the Styrofoam. Be sure<br />that the moss completely covers the surface. (see figure 2)</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">3. Cut a length of the skinnier ribbon and run it diagonally across the<br />mossed surface. Attach both ends of the ribbons on the sides of the<br />Styrofoam using straight pins. Repeat this process to create a diagonal<br />grid of ribbon on the top of the pillow.</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">4. Take your corsage pins and stick them into the points where the<br />ribbons intersect on the pillow top. (see figure 4)</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">5. Turn the pillow on it’s side and pin the end of the wider ribbon in<br />the center of the side, using your straight pins. (see figure 5)</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">6. Wrap the ribbon around all four sides, concealing the fabric edges and<br />skinny ribbon tails. Pull it tightly as you go and keep the ribbon edges<br />lined up with the edges of the pillow. (see figure 5)</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">7. When you pass your starting point, fold under the ribbon tail and pin<br />it down using your corsage pins. (see figure 6)</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">8. Trim off any loose moss bits.</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">9. Cut a 12″ length of the skinnier ribbon and tie it to the corsage pin<br />in the center of the pillow. Attach your rings by tying a bow. (see<br />figure 7)</p> <p style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;"><strong>What it costs:</strong><br />Styrofoam square $.90<br />Ribbon $3.00<br />Corsage Pins $2<br />Small bag of moss $1.80<br />Total = $7.70</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><em><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Project created by </span><a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);" href="http://www.lalalaurie.com/" target="_blank">Laurie Cinotto,</a></em></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;"> Via <a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);" href="http://www.oncewed.com/7568/diy-wedding/once-wed/diy-tufted-moss-ring-pillow-2/?currentPage=1">Once Wed</a></span></span><br /></p>
