Nester, is that a picture of all your ribbon? I’m so jealous! I need ribbon. And fabric too. I also need a place to keep stuff like that!

I am a ribbon collector. It is as addictive as chocolate, but, without the calories! Plus, there are so many great uses for it, like you noted. I have used it to tie back curtains in my daughter’s room and it looked so sweet.

Yanno… this year was the first year that I invested in really pretty cloth ribbon for wrapping Christmas presents. It actually made wrapping them FUN for me because I got to finish every package off with a beautiful bow. So many people commented on how pretty the wrapping was so now I can’t wrap a gift at all without using beautiful ribbon! What great ideas to tie my HOUSE up in ribbon, too!

Great ideas! I love to wrap gifts with plain brown or white butcher paper and then finish it with a beautiful ribbon…

Thanks for the inspiration to put my ribbon remnants to work!
I have enjoyed hot gluing ribbon around the top of canvas baskets as a border, which you can see here: http://littlejonathan.blogspot.com/search?q=ribbon

I love the bookmark in shelved books idea! I’m going to have to go buy me some cute ribbon to put in all of Hubby’s ancient shelf-only books. Thanks for the great idea.
