Ribbon Helps, Guides & Reference Information

Ribbon is one of the most versatile decorative materials used in crafting, sewing, floral design, gift wrapping, holiday decorating, jewelry making, scrapbooking, apparel, and home décor. Available in countless widths, materials, textures, colors, and finishes, ribbon adds beauty, color, texture, and dimension to both simple and elaborate projects. Whether you're tying a decorative bow, trimming a garment, decorating a wreath, or adding the perfect finishing touch to a gift, selecting the right ribbon can greatly enhance the appearance of your finished project.

Different types of ribbon are designed for different purposes. Satin ribbon offers an elegant sheen, grosgrain ribbon provides durability and texture, organza creates a light, delicate appearance, while wired ribbon holds its shape beautifully for bows, floral arrangements, wreaths, and decorative displays. Understanding ribbon materials, widths, wire types, textures, and finishes helps crafters choose the best ribbon for every project.

This collection of ribbon helps and reference information is continually growing. Future topics may include ribbon materials and fabrics, satin, grosgrain, organza, velvet, sheer, burlap, and wired ribbons, ribbon width conversion charts, choosing the proper ribbon for different projects, making decorative bows, floral bow techniques, wreath decorating, gift wrapping ideas, ribbon care and storage, ribbon terminology, seasonal ribbon styles, comparison charts, tutorials, and many other useful reference guides. Be sure to check back often as new information and resources are added.
