Mother’s Ribbon ~ Boy Scout Mother’s Pins {tutorial}

Cub Scout Mother's Necklace from GingerSnapCrafts.com
If you have a boys in Cub Scouts like me…then you know that February is Blue & Gold Banquet time! :) This week our pack is having our Blue & Gold banquet & dinner. So I made these super easy Mother’s Ribbons for all the new moms in our pack.

This are great for all those Mother’s pins that you’ll collect throughout your son’s Scouting career. I usually make a bunch at once, & then save the extras in our Scout closet.

For this project all you'll need is:

  • sewing machine
  • ribbon {red, green, yellow & blue}
  • matching thread
  • sewing supplies {needles, scissors, etc.}

I cut my ribbons approximately 18 inches long in each of the four colors ~ blue, yellow, green & red. Then I pinned the ribbons together in sets. {I pinned the blue & gold together for Cub Scouts and red & green together for Boy Scouts.}

Then you’ll sew along each side of the skinnier ribbon on each set.

Then I sewed the ends together. That’s it!

These are great for keeping track of all those pins!

Funny you did this. I was given one from the scout shop with my oldest, but have always thought I should make another for my other son's pins. I think it would be great for the scouts to make for their moms for mother's day for something. :) Great job!

This is GENIUS, Ginger! I have an Altoids tin full of the last year's worth of pins that I haven't done anything with {I'm awful about it}. Our scout "shop" is actually just a section in the educational supply store...so we only have the very basics...and I've never seen one of these! Super smart!! Thanks for sharing!
