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

Fashion Fridays: Oh Betty Draper, You're Mad

Betty Draper's character in MAD MEN (played by actress, <a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-style: italic;" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005064/">January Jones</a>) makes for some great television! She's impeccably stylish, but what a hot mess, with a flawless exterior that masks a tortured interior. Most modern women find Betty's character totally unrecognizable today (her character is the one I least identify with, of course!), but you can't help but feel sympathy, frustration, and pity for this woman trapped in suburbia. We've come a long way, baby! <div><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/betty_draper/set?.mid=embed&id=12039768"><img alt="Betty Draper" border="0" height="400" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFjZ0eEZVVVdmM2hHSkNkTlUzYkZOMVEAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="Betty Draper" width="400" /></a> <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/betty_draper/set?.mid=embed&id=12039768">Betty Draper</a> by <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?.mid=embed&id=362063">simplyna</a> featuring <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/daytrip/shop?brand=Daytrip&category_id=2">Daytrip</a></div> Turtleneck $13 <a href="http://buckle.com/">Buckle</a> True of Royal Trousers $438 <a href="http://farfetch.com/">Farfetch</a> Jill Sanders Leather Riding Boots $945 <a href="http://net-a-porter.com/">net-a-porter</a> Nicole Farhi Leather Gloves $116 <a href="http://nicolefarhi.com/">Nicole Farhi</a> Tiffany & Co.
