ribbon women
Well, for those of you who just couldn’t picture the quick tip I gave you yesterday here are some pics. My youngest keeps calling them ribbon women. Which sounds weally…ooops really cute when a five year old says it. Remembering that most 4 and 5 year olds turn all their R’s into W’s. Of course in my head I was thinking boy these are cute! Just add a little hat and a face and other fun accessories what a fun project for kids. 
At my daughters’ school every Friday they have Friday clubs. This is where parents or other adult volunteers teach something to a group of kids for about an hour. Last year I did 2 clubs a Friday (all year long i think it came out to 6 or 7 different clubs) four for my now 3rd grader and three for my now 1st grader. This year I have only been fortunate enough to do one for the First graders. However, this Friday I will start doing a jewelry making class for the 3rd graders. (yes, some of that jewelry and accessories will involve paper if you were wondering..)You see this year both grades have clubs at the same time. My partner in crime for 1st grade is going on without me boohoo. I know she will do great! Plus, she always knows where to come if she runs out of ideas. So maybe she’ll be inspired by these ribbon women that were orginally just a way to eliminate clutter.
These can be grouped together in a bowl/vase, jar, or if you don’t want them displayed put them in an old cigar box. I love wood cigar boxes they make great storage spaces for a lot of my art stuff. A lot of times you can get used ones free or very little from cigar bars or shops.
