Show your support all year or during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October by making and wearing your own breast cancer ribbon. Millions of people wear the small pink ribbon to honor loved ones who have survived or fallen victim to the disease. The ribbon also shows your desire for greater awareness of breast cancer, as well as your support of the medical developments taking place to eradicate it.
Instructions
1. Cut each end of the ribbon at a 45-degree angle. Make sure the angles point in opposite directions so when the ribbon is laid out horizontally it has one shorter side.
2. Lay the ribbon on a flat surface with the shorter side on top.
3. Take the left side and fold it across the center of the ribbon, then angle it so it points downward.
4. Hold the left side in place and fold the right side in the same way, across the midpoint and down.
5. Place a dot of glue in the center of the ribbon to secure the ends in place. Let dry completely.
6. Attach a small safety pin to wear the ribbon on your lapel.
