 | Find and mark the centre point of the base of the bell. |
 | Place a ribbon length on a flat surface face down |
 | From the centre of the the ribbon, fold over end by 45 degrees |
 | Fold over the other end the same way. |
 | Place the ribbon on the base of the bell and secure the fold
point the the bell with a sequin pin to just off the centre point
you marked on the base of the bell. |
 | The ribbon can be placed either face up or face down to provide
a different finished effect. The bell illustrated was made with
the face down. |
 | Secure the fold two fold ends to the bell. |
 | Repeat the process on the opposite side, and again at ninety
degrees to them. |
 | This will then give a cross structure over the base of the bell. |
 | Repeat this again from the centre filling the for gaps between
the ribbons. |
 | Depending on the width of your ribbon, and the size of the bell,
you may have to add extra layers |
 | Once this initial round is completed, simply repeat the effect
by adding more folded ribbon in layers, moving away from the base
of the Bell. |
 | Continue layering until you reach the top of the bell. |
 | Fold over and ribbon ends and secure a filigree cap to the top
of the bell to cover the ends, using a Teardrop Hatpin. |
