Someone from China Adoption group asks me if I will wear a purple ribbon when we are in Guangzhou. I said I may wear a red ribbon. I realized after searching website that an awareness ribbon for congenital heart defect is in red and blue (oxygen-poor blood) with a heart on it. And also found out that February 7th to 14th is a week of congenital heart defect awareness week.
I tried to order it online, but it will take 2 weeks for regular shipping. Why not make it by myself? I went to Jo Ann fabric store and bought following materials :
Spools of red and royal blue ribbons, a small bottle of glue (FABRI-TAC), red heart buttons. It took me less than half hour to make these 3 ribbons.
