Sleeping Beauty Ribbon Sculpture

So a few Saturdays ago, it was one of my niece's birthdays!

I wanted to create something special for her. SO I found out

her favorite Disney Princess is Aurora AKA Sleeping Beauty.

And I know how much of a hard time her momma has putting 

her hair up and keeping it out of her face.. so I decided to

create some ribbon sculptures, that I thought would help with

that! Now I have made a few ribbon sculptures before (you can see

the previous tutorials Ive done {here}) But I have never attempted

making any actual characters before! I just decided to go for

it, and see how it turned out.. I took pics along the way for 

future reference, and also to share the tutorial with you!

I think I did pretty good for making these for the first time!

Though I do admit these are a little time consuming, and by the end

my hand was cramping a little... but it was totally worth it! :)

I used supplies I already had on hand... 

here is what you will need:

1. Scissors
2. Glue Gun/Glue sticks
3. Needle & Thread
4. Rhinestone gems
5. Headband/hair clip
6. Ribbon in the following Sizes & Colors

• Thin- Cream
• Thin- Yellow
• Thin- Silver or Gold
• Thin- White 
• (I only had wide white ribbon.. i just cut it in half!)
• Wide- Light pink 
• Wide- Dark Pink

Start out making the body:

Making the skirt of the dress:

Add skirt to body:

Making the top of the dress:

Making the collar of the dress:

Adding the arms:

Now I would like to mentioned that this was my first attempt, and

after doing it, I found it is better to do the "bangs" part of the hair

first... then do the rest! So the hair connects and flows better.

I ended up making 4 sculptures.. just in case I wanted to give

them to anyone else, or sell them. :)

Each are the same.. yet slightly unique.

For my niece, I decided to give her two. One on a alligator clip,

and one on a headband.. so she could choose how she wanted

to wear it in her hair! :)

The headband is just a regular plastic headband, that I wrapped

in the dark pink ribbon to match Princess Aurora!

I love how it turned out!

I know I keep saying that... 

but Im just proud of myself. :)

Here is a shot of the headband in my hair...

And a shot of the clip in my hair.

Cute cute cute!
I almost want to create a few more Disney Princess' just for fun. :)
I think this was the perfect first Princess for me to do, because
she has always been my favorite!
