Ribbon Hanging Frames Making these ribbon hanging frames is a quick and fun project to display your favorite photos. We used pre-made cardboard frames, ribbon, trim and appliqués in this colorful display. It's a great project for the children to make for Father's Day since it's all done with glue. Display your photo wall hanging in a spot where you can enjoy it every day! You can easily change the photos in the frames for different occasions (i.e. birthdays, parties, special holidays or even the first day of school).

INSTRUCTIONS: (Each frame is made in the same manner.) Cut two, 7" pieces each of yellow, red and blue grosgrain ribbon. Holding frames vertically, glue 7" pieces of ribbon across the bottom and top of each frame. Fold over the remaining ribbon on each end around to the back of the frame and glue. Cut each remaining piece of yellow, red and blue grosgrain ribbon in half. Using the same color ribbon for each frame, glue each piece of ribbon onto side pieces of the frame. Leave 1" of ribbon extra at the bottom of the frame; glue onto the back of frame. (There will be excess ribbon at the top for the loop). Fold over the excess ribbon at the top of frame making a 1 1/2" loop. Glue the end of the ribbon onto the back of the frame (see photo). Cut dotted grosgrain in half and glue across the top and bottom of the blue frame in the center of the ribbon leaving approximately 3/4" excess at each end . Fold over and glue. See photo for placement. Cut rick rack into four equal pieces and glue as you did for the dotted grosgrain on the yellow and red frames. See photo for placement. Glue red star appliqués to the corners of the blue frame. Stick a self-adhesive hook and loop dot onto each corner of the photo sleeve. Press one sleeve firmly onto the back of each frame, securing hook and loop dot. Slip a photo into each sleeve. Paint the dowel red. Let dry. Slip each frame onto the dowel. For the hanger, tie ends of cording at each end of dowel with a double knot to secure and glue in place. ENJOY!
