How to make personalised ribbon
Making your own personalised ribbon is very easy but gives incredibly satisfying results!
1. Buy cotton ribbon (such as our grey cotton ribbon) or bias binding from a local haberdashers. The thicker ribbon below is bias binding and is very inexpensive.
2. Lay a piece of newspaper or brown paper on a cutting mat, so you don't stain your mat.
3. Stamp the design of your choice! Our ink pads are suitable for printing on fabric, and you can fix the ink with an iron, but I've never done this and think the results turn out fine! If you use a newer ink pad it will work better as the ink saturates better when fresh.
I used the below rubber stamps for our ribbon:
