Another quick and easy way to use short pieces of ribbon is the "charity ribbon". Simply fold your ribbon in a loop and attach with a staple or, in this case, a brad. Trim the ends as desired.And another ribbon tip which my Mum used to do back in the olden days when little girls wore ribbons in their hair: if your ribbon is creased, hold it over the steam from a boiling kettle. After a few seconds, "iron" your ribbon on the hot, curved side of the kettle. And that's the nearest I'll get to ironing if I can help it!

Great tip - especially for those tiny pieces of ribbon you don't know what to do with. LOVE your Mum's tip with the kettle - wonder if that will work with clothes?! CC
ReplyDeleteGreat tips Helen. Another way to "iron" out wrinkles in ribbons is to run the ribbon over the top of a light bulb that has been on eg from a lamp. Works a treat and easy to do without setting up the iron.
ReplyDeleteI have so many little pieces of ribbon. (I can't throw anything away)I will definitely remember your ribbon tip! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tip. This might get kind of thick, could you make a few of them and attach them in the center with a brad and make a flower. Humm... will have to try.
