To make the Denim and Ribbon medallion, start with 10ʺ each of scallop edge denim ribbon and white organza.

Fold the sheer ribbon off center lengthwise and place the denim ribbon along folded edge. With a needle and piece of twine, make running stitches along edge through all layers.

I hope I’ve inspired you to try this technique.  For a different look, try this technique with Lace Ribbons in place of Denim Ribbons.  This would be cute as hair bow as well. Simply sew it to a hair clip.

Thanks so much for visiting!
Happy Crafting!
