I know there's kind-of a lot of steps, but each step is incredibly simple and the whole project is really easy.

My brother had a high-school project where he had to make a tombstone for someone (I think a famous person). My mom bought this styrofoam Halloween hanging one that had stuff on it. So I flipped it over and made this.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Styrofoam (Painted) or Corkboard
  • Scissors
  • Thumb Tacks (Optional)
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Ribbon
  • Button(s) or half-sphere glass pieces (like Mancala pieces)

Steps (7 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    OPTIONAL. Figure out where you want each ribbon to lie and mark the top and bottom with the thumb tacks.

  2. 2

    Measure the length each ribbon needs to be and cut the number you will need. I used different ribbons for the different directions so I just did the ribbons that went diagonally left to right first.

  3. 3

    Hot glue the ribbons on.

  4. 4

    I did the same things with the other color ribbons. (The white ones.) They looked pretty bare once I had, so I added a thin ribbon down the center.

  5. 5

    Glue the buttons (or whatever you're using) in the center of where the 2 different ribbons meet.

  6. 6

    If your board doesn't have a string to hang from glue one on. (The board I was using did, but it was black so I wrapped a white string around the black one.)

  7. 7

    Slide in pictures and hang!!
