Get ready to add some flair to your life with these awesome ribbon-based DIY projects that will have you tying, weaving and creating in no time. From jewelry to home decor, there are over 30 ribbon crafts to choose from on this list!
Ribbons aren’t just for gift wrapping and hair bows! You can use scraps or longer lengths of ribbon in a variety of projects such as DIY wreaths, jewelry, wall hangings, and (of course) hair accessories.
Bonus? Ribbons are a budget-friendly crafting material. You can find a wide range of ribbons at affordable prices in your local craft stores.
With just a few ribbons, you can create stunning projects that look like a million bucks without breaking the bank.
My favorite part of crafting with ribbon is that you have so many options with the colors, widths, materials and styles!
Some have wiring so they keep their shape and some have scalloped or picot edging. There are ribbons made of burlap, satin, velvet, lace—I could go on and on.
The point is that crafting with ribbon gives you what seems like an infinite number of options. This means that your crafts can definitely be personalized to your style.
Grab your ribbon stash and get ready to be inspired! Scroll down to see over 30 ribbon crafts perfect for adult crafters. Let me know what you think of them in the comments.
(PS – people always ask me how to “seal” ribbon. You can melt the edges or use Fray Check if they are fraying – otherwise you shouldn’t need to seal the ribbon).
