    Crinkled Ribbon Tutorial

    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 !

    If you don't want to try it, I do have some for sale on my website here ~
