How To Make A Sash 12 Steps With Pictures

Opt for a thicker, matte type of ribbon to ensure that the iron-on letters will adhere to the ribbon.

For example, if you have a 2 yards (1. 8 m) long piece of ribbon, then you will need the same amount of trim to cover one edge of the ribbon, or twice as much trim to cover both edges. Try contrasting a red ribbon with some black fringe, or contrast a pink satin ribbon with some white lace.

Try adding light pink crystals to the edges of a dark pink beauty pageant sash. Add some red sequins to a black bachelorette sash. Enhance a white sash with contrasting baby accessory beads (rattles, bottles, booties, etc. ) for a baby shower.

If the word you want on the sash is a longer one, then place the first letter closer to the edge. For example, if you are making a “Bachelorette” sash, then start pinning the “B” about 3 inches (7. 6 cm) from the edge and space them evenly so that the “E” is also about 3 inches (7. 6 cm) from the edge.

For example, if you are making a sash for a bridal shower, then you could glue on some wedding accessory embellishments, such as a wedding cake, wedding dress, or a bouquet.

Remove the pin after you finish sewing.
