DT CraftWell: Fiesta Ribbon Medals

 


Hi, 

This is my next post for Craftwell. 

I live in San Antonio, Texas and April is its Fiesta month.
In my kids school, we did a Fiesta celebration on April 30th and I was in charge of arranging a shoe box parade for the little ones.
So I made Fiesta ribbon medals for the winners:


In short:

I bought already made birthday ribbons with the pin in the back and converted them in fun Fiesta Medals (that's a big item here, everybody collects them during April).
I stamped sentiments and cute little Fiesta critters from HeroArts and cut them with their complimentary die cut.
I stamped sentiments directly in the ribbons used for the Fiesta Wreaths and even the chihuahua/ tacos directly to them using the FSJ licorice black ink. And colored everything with gel pens.


Then, I used my hot glue gun to assemble the medals. I used small Mexican hats, decorated them with rhinestone ribbon, to cover the "birthday" sentiment.
Those were super cute and quick to make.
I did prizes for these categories:

"Fiesta Diversity"
"Fiesta Medal Craze"
And
"#ILoveTacosSoMuch"

Don't the little ones look so cute with their ribbon medals and their shoe boxes floats?

  2. Vicky, what a clever idea for the Fiesta Medals! My brother just moved to San Antonio, so I'll have to ask him if he's ever attended the mini-float parade! Adding the cute little sombreros for the theme is fun!!! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!!! -Donna
