Ooodles of ribbons

[JetLi]

I've collected quite a few ribbons over the last few months. They have come from tying gifts, blankets, parcels etc. There are lots of different types of fabric, colours etc. DD has been playing with them as a type of treasure basket thing, but I was wondering if there was something crafty I could use them for.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you

You could criss-cross a piece of fabric covered board with them to make a notice board- like this

i would sew them n stright line son a peice of fabric to make a cushion cover :D

There is a design for a ribbon cushion in Sewing In No Time by Emma Hardy - see if you can get it from the library or something but it does look really nice.

Actually you can see it in the background of this photo as long as the link works! If you are good at understanding how a pattern works, i.e. if you're not like me, then you should be able to figure out how it goes.

Thanks for this folks - some fab ideas. I think there are probably enough ribbons to do both projects. I figure I could do a white fabric covered boards with multi-coloured ribbons and it would look quite groovy.

Get DD a cheap pair of plain white canvas shoes. Decorate with fabric paint/pens. Use ribbons instead of laces. Even felt tips as long as you don't go out in the rain

Much cheaper and nicer than Lelli Kelly!

There are lots of different tutorials on Youtube for these, and also for ribbon corsages.

I saw a tutorial for a ribbon handbag - just need to find a link now!
