How to Make a Ribbon Badge and a Beautiful Baby Photo


In my previous post was a picture of my baby inspired by Pinterest photos of babies month by month. In this post I will show you how I created this photo.

How I made the ribbon badge:

1: You will need some silver paper plates, coloured paper, 3 packets of stick on gems and some PVA glue. I got these items from Poundland. You will also need scissors and Sellotape.

2: Take a sheet of yellow, blue and pink paper, fold and cut each one in two. Fold one of the halves in roughly 1 inch sections and cut them up.

3: Cut the middle section out of the plate.

4: Fold each 'finger' of blue paper in half and stick on the back of the plate at 12 o clock, 6 o clock, 3 o clock and 9 o clock. Then stick one in between each of those.

5: Do the same with the yellow 'fingers'. Fold the pink 'fingers' in half again and cut down the fold.

6: Stick the pink 'fingers' in between the yellow and blue ones.

7: Fold in half and staple together the 3 bits of paper you have left over.

8: Stick them on the back of the plate.

9: Take another plate and cut the inside section out as before. Cover the back of the plate with everything stuck on with PVA glue.

10: Stick the plate you just cut out onto the original plate and leave under a mattress for an hour.

11: Using the black gems, cut to size and arrange onto the plate whatever you would like it to say.

12: Finally decorate using the heart and star gems. 
 
 
 
How I made the photo:
 
1: Arrange pillows against a corner of a wall on your bed.

2: Drape over a throw. I got mine from Primark for £5. 

3: After baby's fed and burped lay him on the throw.

4: Lay your ribbon badge against the pillow behind your baby.

5: Take the pic! Finish off by using some Instagram effects and voila!
