Oh, How I Love Ribbon
Ribbon comes in many colors, patterns and fabrics. You can find ribbon embellished with pearls, rhinestones, sequins and just about anything else. Ribbon is probably one of the least expensive embellishments you can use on your cards and scrapbooks.
Ribbon can be used to frame a photo. One of my favorite scrapbooking methods for a wedding layout is to use ribbon that is full of pearls and/or “bling”. I then select a very thin ribbon to coordinate with it. I use the thin ribbon to frame the layout and for a really special look; I frame it with the pearled ribbon.
Making flowers with ribbon is a cinch. First, select a ribbon or lace that is at least ¾” wide. Then, cut a circle to use as the base about the size of the flower you want to create. Cover one side of the circle with double-sided tape or tape runner. Next, adhere the edge of the ribbon to the circle, gathering it slightly as you go. Most people start in the center and work their way out, but try starting on the outside rim of the circle and work your way in to the center. It is much easier and your fingers don’t get stuck in the glue.
You can also use ribbon to bring focus to a title. Select a ribbon color that will make your title pop. Use a ribbon that is thinner than the height of the title letters. Adhere the ribbon to the page and then adhere the letters by placing them over the ribbon. It usually looks best if the tops and bottoms of the letters extend beyond the width of the ribbon.
Be careful, once you start playing with ribbon you will become addicted!
