I just love crinkled dyed ribbon for using on my projects ~
This is a tutorial on how to make it yourself ~
First you get whatever color ribbon you want to use ~
I use seam binding for the ribbon because I love how it feels ~

Then you soak it in either tea or instant coffee ~

I scrunch mine in a ball and wrap it in about 3 rubber bands ~

Then I sit it out in the sun and as it dries it gets a wonderful aged look especially on the outside edges ~

After it has dried about 3/4 of the way, I take the bands off and kind of loosely spread the ribbon out to dry in the sun ~
Every once in awhile I go and turn the ribbon until it is completely dry ~
Then it is ready to use on your projects ~
I just love love crinkled dyed ribbon !
