A few years back, I was working at Kohl Mansion on a photo shoot for a local magazine called Today’s Bride. During the photo shoot while I was waiting for the photographer and stylist to get all their important shots for the spread, I had some extra time on my hands. I wanted to create something around the beautiful doors of the mansion leading out to the gracious courtyard.
It had to be something interesting, but I didn’t have enough flowers to create a drape or garland over the door. Since I brought my tool box with me - which I always keep filled with emergency supplies: glue dots, hammer, staple gun, clothed wire, floating candles, lighters - I decided to try something different. I noticed that I had tons of these great glue dots and a box full of ribbons in different widths. With my handle ribbon shears, I started to cut 10 feet strips of ribbon. I created a curtain effect by attaching these long colorful strips of ribbon in a distinctive pattern. Strips were adhered to the top of the door frame with these fabulous, extra strong, glue dots. The result - a stunning wall of color and a beautiful backdrop.
It’s ideas like this that I thrive on, that aren’t very expensive but have impact.
