Each of us has that one thing (maybe more), that makes our heart beat a little faster and our palms sweat. Believe it or not, ribbon is one of those things for me. I just adore ribbon! Ribbons of all sizes, colors, textures, materials and patterns.
I’ve collected ribbon for many years and have more of it than I’ll probably ever use in my lifetime, but I just can’t help myself. I love to use ribbon in my craft projects and come Christmas season, I become a maniac with ribbon on my gift wrapping.
One of the other great uses of ribbon is in decorating. A little ribbon can turn an ordinary object into something really beautiful. Check out these photos of items that have been enhanced with ribbon.
How cute are these pillows with ribbon detail? This is a great DIY project that doesn’t even call for a sewing machine…just a little fabric glue. via
This ribbon draped bed skirt would be really cute for a girls room. I also think a darker bedskirt with more sophisticated ribbon would look great in an adult bedroom. via
Diana at Fine Diving sewed ribbon together to make a fabric of sorts and covered these chairs. Complete tutorial on her site.
Here’ a simple bulletin board has been draped with ribbons to give it a bit of flair. What a great way to dress up an office space or that bulletin board in the kitchen. via
I love this ribbon wall for a child’s room. Just imagine it in navy for a boy’s room. via
A great way to dress up plain curtain panels is with a little ribbon detail. The stripe layout on these sheers really give the curtains a modern feel.

Great post Shelly! I’m a fellow ribbon fanatic, so I’m always looking for ways to use my stash. Thanks for the inspiration!
