Gingerbread Man Ribbon Sculpture Christmas Holiday Hair Clip Bow Diy Free Tutorial By Lacey

Hi, thank you for watching my next tutorial. Welcome today. I'M gon na show you how to make a gingerbread man, it's still Christmas time and he's so cute, so the supplies you're going to need are gon na, be scissors, your hot glue gun and your source of fire, the water in the heat seal, the edges and Then what you're gon na need to make the gingerbread man is going to be Reed, cinch grosgrain ribbon, you know, gingerbread man, color you're, gon na need two pieces that are 4 inches long, and these are your legs. Then you're gon na need two pieces that are 2 inches long. These are the arms and then for the head. You need one piece that is 3 inches and one piece that is two and a half inches long and then for decorative you're gon na need some white rickrack, you're gon na need a little bow and if you don't know how to make this, though you just Most simple thing: you just take a little 3/4 inch long piece of 3/8 inch grosgrain ribbon and you just tie string straight around the middle of it. Sometimes it helps to secure it inside of an alligator clip when it's straight and tie the ribbon. Like that, the string I mean, but that's how you make that simple elbow and then, if you want to give him eyes, you're gon na need a pair of google eyes and then you're gon na for decorative you're gon na need a pair of red jewels. There'S little plastic jewels. I get these in the scrapbooking out and they come on sheets of 100. I believe so, let's get started so we're gon na start with the legs. So you're gon na take a four inch piece of ribbon and you're gon na fold. It in half and make a crease it's just gon na be for a visual, so you make it crease so that you can see it now. You'Re gon na take the side of it and fold it at that crease right there and you can crease it again. So you can see it, but we're gon na glue it down just a little drop the glue right there glue that down, and you need this heat seal all these rip with these ribbons. I'Ve already done it. If you don't know how you just take your lighter light, you run it along the edge and that just keeps it from fraying. So anyway, back to there, we folded that down like that. Now you want to take the other side and fold it, but you want it to be up here where the two corners meet. So it's helpful to glue that first, that way, you can just smooth it back and make sure everything is straight. So you just take this and fold it up here and make those two corners meet a little bit of glue right here. Don'T burn yourself with the glue that uses out. If you put too much so now, you want to secure it down here. Just make sure it folds flat and put a little bit of glue down in there just secure it down. You can glue the bottom in first if you want and then glue the top up here, but I like to make sure it all comes out folded flat and even so, there's one leg. Now you do that again. Only this time, you're gon na make the folds opposite. So it's gon na be the same fold only you see how this side folded up and over right there. Well, this time you want this set to be on top so you're gon na fold. This side first make that little creased, so you can see it. You don't have to do the opposite thing. It just makes him look a little more symmetrical and his legs are both going the opposite directions. If you can see that the crease on this leg, so now that's folded up there, you fold this side up now see how that's opposite once again, look at the top, let it down to where it's going to be flat, stick glue in there. You know, you've got those two mugs finished, so I put those aside for now and do the arms glue strings off of me. Those things stick to my fingernails and my fingernails are real. Can we imagine how they would stick to fake nails acrylics? So you do the same thing with the arms pollute half once a tail, that's what that little crease in there. So when I grab my glue gun and it pops back open there, the ribbon does I can see where it's supposed to go. You can put the glue on there and then eyeball, it feel free, and then you take the other side up to the corner. Yep I mean I've told you all the wrong stats on the arms o king line with my notes wrong. That'S one and a half! So it's three inches for the arms oops. I will be back as soon as I fix this problem. Okay, I'm back and I figured out what the problem was. The arms are supposed to be two and a half inches, not two inches. You need a two and a half inch piece of ribbon so now I'm gon na have to add annotations, hopefully, by the time you get to this point, you already see on the video that you had to have two and a half inches. So once again, let's take the two and a half inch piece fold it in half and then fold the corner down, and I already did one just to make sure because you didn't want to watch me, do the second one anyway um just to make sure so. I'Ve made the that crease go in that way, so now I'm going to do the opposite on this one. So first I'm! Luckily this sad, how l that's hot you take this side, hold it up that way. So it's going on opposite! It'S blue in that corner and then put some glue down in that corner who folded No straightened out the arm situation. Oh they burned his arm. Well, you gon na be a burnt cookie. That'S gon na be hidden, so it's not a futile all right. So now we got his legs and his arms, let's work on his head, and hopefully I've got all the measurements right. So you start with the large piece and what you're gon na want to do is fold it like that, like you're, going awareness style that, instead of making tails on it, you're going to glue those ends evenly together right there, like that, so it looks like in The back, if you want to fold upward you fold it up and put those ends together like that, so it's gon na be the top of this one line it up with the side of that one. So get that on there singer in there losing out too much moving it down, and actually this side is gon na be as hit. So do that with that piece which is your 3-inch piece and then do it with your two and a half inch piece, the glue off that knee. So again, you just fold it awareness style, but instead of down like that, you just line up the edges. What leave that down like that, so you've got that yeah you're gon na want to take this small piece and put it inside the larger piece and just line up the points you just glue the points together right there to a little clue in there and then That'S his hit, if you want to flatten it down to where he's got more of a square head like I did. She probably will I just got ta put some glue inside there and flatten it down. I can get it straight. Maybe it would have been easier with outputting the small one in there first but anyway now that I creased it and made some little creases there, where I can see the little dot of glue inside right there I'll. Let it small one hold that one out of the way for now and just push it down in those corners. Okay, now that was done. You can fold it up out of the way and then you've got your creases on this one. Just put a little bit of blue in that corner and it doesn't take much to glue the points down little folds just too much to make it sticky and clear that side down and page that sat down now then put that one back inside and there's the Flattened out head like all the glue okay, so now we got his head mate and see online. The inner one came out further. It wasn't supposed to do that. That was just messed up, but it doesn't matter if you mess up on these cuz you're. More than likely making them for children and children are just gon na love. The fact that she has a gingerbread man in her hair, but this is more or less what it supposed to look like. It still looks so cute, though so as long as you do, all your little decorations and everything you're gon na have a blast making nice I'm just a absolute perfectionist, and you know, what's really sad, is that I don't have any children in my life that I Can give these to? I know one couple that has a child need to get their address: mail them to her cuz they're. So my good friends, okay, let's see where am I okay, I've got the head, the arms and the legs mate and basically that's all that he is so now we're going to decorate in with some Rick Rick, so to do the rickrack and to make it even You'Re gon na want to always have an upward either Rick or Rick. I don't know which ones that call are the uppers called Rick and the lower ones called rack. I'M gon na think about you always want them to be up, so just trim it off past. One and don't try to measure it out or anything like that, just stick it on there and then trim it after we stick it. So just put some glue on that upper part right. There stick it on there with that centered wherever you want it and then trim off the edges. If you're using a cotton, rickrack rickrack that doesn't have any multiple fibers in it, you can use fray check to keep it from fraying. If you're using a rickrack. That'S got some meltable materials in it. Just give it a little heat seal. The fray check works. Well too. You just want to not keep it from fraying right there. Okay, yeah, let's do the second one. So what that upper yeah, Rick or Rach, whichever one is called glue on it and stick it on there and worsley the same place and then try anything, some more juice in that thing. Okay, just same thing with the Arts just flipped over there because of the glue strings everywhere over my scissors, things are a menace. It really makes me mad is when they get stuck to my project and then, when I move my hand and it Yanks the whole thing, and it all goes in the floor - a little glue right there. I just love Christmas, don't y'all trying to get into a holiday spirit with all this warm weather we're having around here I'm in Texas by the way, the Dallas area and we were wearing shorts today on December, the 2nd last one just put a little on there And your arms are done so now, let's assemble it so take your two legs and just glue them like that. Like he's standing there with his legs apart, you wouldn't want to glue them like this or like this just judge. However far you think he should be, his stance should be and clue his legs together. Now we're gon na glue his head off, so this is gon na serve actually his legs and body so just glue the very tip of his chin on to his legs right. There just a little bit there, okay and then take his arms. Let'S stick them in at little angles like that. I don't have see what I mean. It went the floor, glue string stuck in the way it went once again just get the little angle to where it looks like he's standing there there's the one I burnt, my starting to take shape double sure, he's glued on out there. Okay. Now, let's take the bow, no, no, it ran away and glue it right there, where we just met all those points. If you're making a girl, you could glue it here, but I'm making a gingerbread mate they're up there and then the jewels they're gon na be his buttons pesky pesky little strings. So I'm gon na take my tweezers, so I can hang on to it. Please have sticky, but it's not enough to suit me if a child's gon na be wearing it. I want it to be secure. Stick when we round it close extra right underneath it so right here is where a lot of people like to leave the gingerbread man, because there's this trend of faceless beings going around, but I like to give my little guy some personality. So I'm gon na continue on give him some eyes and a mouth now to do the mouth. I just okay back to the gingerbread man I had to splice this in because I got everything made again on this tutorial and discovered that it had stopped running because I have a new camera that only goes for 20 minutes at a time to avoid it overheating, Which is a really good feature, but anyway I was trying to show y'all how to put on the mountain. So I just took the rig wreck and cut a piece off in the shape of a mouth sure in heat, seal or fray check the sides. So it doesn't fall apart on you, while you're working, and this is kind of wet, so I'm just gon na cut it down to where it's a smaller, a smaller schmuck use the tweezers to hold it. This time so burn my fingers. Okay. Now that looks like I smell, so just do it put a little bit of glue it's together up there, okay and now the final touches the eyes and there's your finished gingerbread man, so you just take now and put him on a pin if you're gon na Give it to a little boy put it on a partially lined hair clip if you're gon na give it to a little girl or could be a pin for a little girl. You just don't want a hair clip for a little boy. I don't think, but that's it, and if you want to make a little noise like I did on this one just take a fine point sharpie and just make a little dot on it or not. Actually, I think I like it better without, but thank you for watching and please subscribe and I'll be making another tutorial. Y'All have a great day.
