What can you do with ribbon
Ah, ribbon.
Fat or skinny, shiny or matte, rough, made of sheer chiffon, organza, tulle, paper or silk, ribbon is great stuff. It generally gives things a dainty, fancy or “dressed up” appearance–tie a ribbon around anything and it gives it a special air.
I like to tie up gifts wrapped with ordinary wrapping paper with cloth ribbon, or continue a rustic theme by tying a gift wrapped in plain brown paper with paper ribbon. Another nice use of ribbon is to sew up cute fabric bags, and use ribbon to tie them up.
Or, dress up a handmade card by punching holes in cardstock and weaving ribbon through it.
Another neat idea I saw in a Christmas craft magazine was sewing several long strips of wide ribbon across the middle to create a quck and easy table runner.
What interesting ways do you or have you used ribbon lately?
