Make Your Own Ribbon
Making your own ribbon out of left over fabric scraps is a great (and cheap) way to jazz up your gift wrapping.
What You Will Need
For this tutorial, you will need a ruler, self healing cutting mat and a rotary cutter. If you don’t have these items, just use scissors and pins.
Step 1
Gather up all pf your favorite fabric scraps, the more the merrier and the crazier the better.
Step 2
I have used the width of my ruler as my guideline. Place fabric on cutting mat, secure ruler on top. Press down and cut a length with the rotary cutter.
Step 3
Continue cutting as many strips of fabric as you like. I ended up with about 3 meters when I was done.
Step 4
Hold fabric ends together with right sides facing inwards. Sew a 1cm seam. Do this for all of your strips.
Step 5
Now you have created a great length of ribbon. Trim the loose threads and press.
Step 6
I have chosen to trim the seams and sides with pinking sears, you can do this too if you like.
Step 7
Give your ribbon one final press. You are finished! Now get gift wrapping.
