You've probably seen it on cards. Wrinkly looking ribbon in muted colors that add the perfect vintage touch to a card. I first saw the ribbon used on Kiara's card here:

Gorgeous, huh? I love how she uses the perfect color of ribbon to complement each of her cards.
After buying several bundles on Etsy, I wanted more colors and wondered if I could make some myself. I searched You Tube and there are several great video tutorials that show you step by step how to make your own wrinkled ribbon. And it's not really a "ribbon" but rayon seam binding.
I found a great source for 100 yard spools of seam binding here. They come in tons of colors but if you want to custom dye your own, you have to get the white, cream or eggshell.
And if you do decide to try this, wear disposable gloves!
Thanks for visiting! Hope you all have a great weekend!
Great card and the ribbon looks wonderful. Can't wait for the reveal as the ribbon looks interesting... lovely colour.... great tip about the gloves...
ReplyDeleteTeaser!! Yeah, I have to use that stuff soon too, though I'm not going to buy a whole bunch, I'm trying to figure out if I can cheat and just use satin ribbon and scrunch it up ;0) Looks like you did awesome with it tho!

ReplyDeleteHi DOnna, LOL, I did the same thing!! Made my own, it's soooo easy and you'll forever have every color you'll ever need!!
ReplyDeleteDitto exactly what Suzanne said! It is gorgeous! I wonder if there's a local source for this? Hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteThose ribbons do look amazing!! Thanks for sharing your "source"!!
ReplyDeleteKiara's card is gorjuss, as always! And your little tease is very pretty too! As Rach said, we have a challenge coming up using it and I was hoping to see it used on a card! Your tutorial for making it was much easier than the one I saw, thanks so much sharing...you're the best! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the wrinkly ribbon idea...can't wait to see your card!!
ReplyDeleteKiara's card is so beautiful! Love the ribbon dying tips! Can't wait to see what you have created for the challenge!!
ReplyDeleteOooohhh, Donna! Thank you for sharing your source for the seam binding. I love the results you achieved with the Distress Ink. Lovely and soft. I have also seen a tutorial where you can add a few drops of a Copic marker refill (any color) and a few drops of Colorless Blender to a small zippered baggie. Take a piece of the seam binding and place it in the baggie and just sort of massage it around to pick up all that fab color. I can't tell you how excited I am about this seam binding stuff...lol!!
ReplyDeleteYour card is exceptional, by the way! Love the doily in the background and of course your image is perfectly colored. Can't wait to see the full pic of your other card, too ;D
