Woven Ribbon Table Runner

After a whirlwind morning in the wake of this article’s launch, hopped up on caffeine and 2 hours of sleep, I (and 2 colleagues) pulled off a luncheon baby shower for Kaki’s fairy godmother on behalf of our office (the bigger shower is this coming Saturday). We kept it simple. Some playful pink and green balloons and cupcakes. Always cupcakes.

I whipped up this faux table runner with spools of 3″ ribbon to present said sugary goodness. Seven ribbons across, six ribbons down – woven between each other in alternating pink and green. While I don’t have a formal tutorial to show for it, it’s easy enough to do that I thought this photo might provide some inspiration for all you party planners out there.

I’m quoting myself being quoted on ABC News. It’s getting meta up in here:

I think it’s a great way to get some people’s attention and get people involved that otherwise might not be politically active. It’s so gimmicky and silly, but that’s why it’s great. That’s why people are talking about it.

Today is shaping up to be one pretty amazing day. All on the heels of a sleep-deprived, dependent-needy night. Kudos to you, March 28th.
