I'm wondering if you have a similar tutorial up that explains how to add a ribbon to the design so that it can be pulled out onto the outside of the piece? Or if you know anywhere that does?<br /><br />Thanks in advance. :) RandomThoughtGeneratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397230049966648345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813155461240201466.post-11315449042563539742013-02-08T21:43:31.923-05:002013-02-08T21:43:31.923-05:00I have been using this same technique for years. ...I have been using this same technique for years.
