Supplies Needed
Carefully use a craft knife to score the CD and then pop the middle out, turning it into a ring.
Now, you will begin wrapping the light blue ribbon around the CD, securing every few inches with glue.
Continue wrapping until the entire CD is covered, then secure the ribbon in place with glue.
Now, you will measure small pieces of the dark ribbon to create the flower. Choose a length you are comfortable with, but for this, about 3" is a good length. Cut out 6 lengths of ribbon.
Now, you will begin folding the ribbon and connecting it with thread. Fold the ribbon in half, then fold those halves together. The video helps see this process a bit better.
Once you have folded the ribbon, you will use a needle and thread to secure the open. Leave the thread in the ribbon as you will then thread the next ribbon "petal" onto the same thread, and continue this process pulling each petal through to form a flower.
Arrange the ribbon petals into the flower shape and tighten the thread in the center with a few extra stitches to secure it.
Flue or sew on an additional sheer ribbon on the bottom of the blue flower, then glue a small artificial flower on top.
Arrange the ribbon until you are happy with the look.
Glue the ribbon flower onto the CD, and then add additional flower embellishments along the sides as shown.
Now, you will attach a ribbon to the end of the dowel and wrap it tightly, covering the entire dowel and securing it at the end.
Make another small, darker blue ribbon bow and attach it to one end of the now-wrapped dowel
Now, you have the curtain holder pieces.
To use the curtain holder, you will slip the curtain through the middle of the CD, then you will slide the dowel behind the curtain inside the CD and through the other side as shown.
