Ribbon: Crafting on the Go!

A few ribbons and some simple techniques make everything festive. So pack up a bag filled with beautiful ribbons of grosgrain, satin, picot, or sheer material, plus this colorful collection, and prepare to make 25 fabulously easy projects on the run. It’s all a question of doing a little twisting, curling, folding, tying, stitching, weaving, and embellishing. Start with a ribbon-trailing Mark Your Place bookmark; it makes a great gift along with a journal. Turn a basic shawl into a romantic cover-up by edging it with looped ribbon accents. A Little Rose Bouquet, made of satin ribbon wrapped around a wire “stem,” looks great in a silver vase. Or adorn flip-flops, pillows, sachets, totes, a nursery throw, and more.
