Hop through with us and visit each designer’s blog and leave a comment on their Helmar and May Arts Blog Hop post. The first winners will be chosen on the 21st and the second winners will be chosen after the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend! So let’s get started!

Have you ever wanted to create a decorative ribbon pillow but not had the time or materials to sew one. I have the solution...Helmar 101 Quilt Basting Spray and HELMAR FABRIC GLUE! It dries crystal clear, creates a FLEXIBLE bond, is machine washable and is permanent. Now that the holidays are quickly approaching I wanted to create just such a pillow.

 Step #1: Grab a Canvas Corp canvas pillow cover and burlap flower, an assortment of MAY ARTS ribbon and Helmar.

Step #2: Create a pleasing arrangement of your ribbon. The middle ribbon I pleated partially using the Helmar Fabric Glue. I temporarily attached to pillow cover with the Helmar 101 Quilt Basting Spray. Once pleased with arrangement  I glued my ribbon permanently to the cover. I folded over & glued each ribbon to the back of the pillow cover. I don't have plans to actually wash this pillow cover, it is for decorative purposes only.

Step #3: Create a flower corsage using Helmar Fabric Glue...the flowers are vintage millinery roses from my collection.

Step #4: Attach the corsage and I also added a small piece of vintage sequin studded ribbon over the cream May Arts ribbon, again using Helmar Fabric Glue.

Finished pillow...looks expensive, fast, easy & no-sew with HELMAR & MAY ARTS!
