You will need:-Patterned Ribbon Scraps - the amount really depends on the size of your ribbon, it could be as many as 300, 4 inch long pieces if you are using 1/4 inch width ribbon or much less, if using larger widths.-Pins-Styrofoam Cone-Star ornament for the topStart from the bottom by pinning ribbon pieces all around the base, allowing the ribbon to overhang Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14086553592288313277noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962032760280457161.post-51925024090141973312008-10-31T12:49:00.002-06:002008-10-31T12:53:29.109-06:00RIBBON as artAnother simple project for your ribbon scraps. This is a great way to add a touch of art to a space for a very small price. Find coordinating ribbon colors to match your home decor and simply use double sided tape to attach ribbon to a board slightly larger than the framed opening. Tape board into place and put the frame together.

My best tip is to make sure that your "border ribbon" is a good thick grosgrain ribbon.

There has been a consistent movement on-site regarding vintage and supplies, mainly coming from the vintage and supply sellers that are trying to have Etsy broaden it's focus from Handmade to also include in it's scope a place to buy supplies and vintage items.

Pink Ribbon Wands are the best sellers. Buyers want pink, pink and more pink. There are still a lot of requests for purple, but they don't hold a candle to the popularity of pink. It must be that people associate Ribbon Wands to the extreme feminine. It's all good, but let's not forget that many other non-pink lovers enjoy the wands also. It's almost impossible for boys, likeNikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14086553592288313277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962032760280457161.post-51311665111046212062008-10-11T10:30:00.002-06:002008-10-11T10:30:45.895-06:00Holiday Season MailingNikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14086553592288313277noreply@blogger.com0
