I have a lot of ribbon from back in the day I used to use it on tags (those were really popular when I started) and tied some on spines of mini albums. I’d like to get some use out of the rest of my ribbon stash and would love some suggestions. TIA

If you google washi tape ideas, most of them can be recreated with ribbon. You just need a good double sided tape to attach the ribbon to your project. And there are a lot of less flat ways to use ribbon. A few years ago, an on-line friend made Christmas cards for everyone by tying ribbon around a wire to mimic a Christmas tree design. I just searched for that and found THIS |

Wish I could help but I pretty much just use my ribbon for packaging now. I used to use it in a lot of cards.

I've got enough ribbon to choke a horse! And I keep buying more... I'm a little obsessed with it. I use it mostly on cards, tags or wrapping gifts. I'd love to use it on scrapbook layouts, but I never seem to find a way to do it!

I love ribbon. I took a break from paper scrapbooking between 2009-2017. It seems to me that people are now using washi tape instead of ribbon. Personally I prefer ribbon. And I love using tags with a ribbon on top.

I've recently started using ribbon again. I like the texture it provides and actually like it better than Washi. I use it just like anyone else would use Washi.

I use it all the time just like washi. It is one of my favorite types of embellishments. I use my xyron X most of the time to attach it. I have a ton of ribbons. Sometimes Ill tie it thru the holes of two big eyelets. I am back into using eyelets and brads. Throw in my newfound love of magic mesh and my layouts are great these days. Even using a lot more flowers too.

I use ribbon all the time, I use it a lot between two different patterned papers. If I have a one inch stripe of paper running down my paper and then a 2 inch piece of pp next to it, I will often stick a piece of ribbon in between the two.

Thanks for the suggestions. It’s interesting to see that I wasn’t the only one with a ribbon stash waiting to be used.

Audrey Yeager has a YouTube video on her 12 Days of Christmas series (I think this one is on day 1) where she draws a Christmas tree,and cuts some holes with her Silhouette and threads it with ribbon. The result was pretty cool.

The result was pretty cool. Thanks for the heads up. That is a cool idea. And now I am following Audrey on youtube. She has some good videos.I still need to find and check out that ribbon video. I love seeing scrapbook process videos. SaveSave |

Any place you have a border between two different colors of cardstock or c/s and pp you can add some ribbon - that's my most-used way.
