Ribbon is definitely underestimated considering it is one of the most useful pieces of material. I understand that it is of course my opinion but so many people use it every day without giving it a seconds thought. Here at Calico Laine, our Berisfords Ribbons are one of our most popular sales, and a lot of the time it is used for more than just tying in your children's hair as an accessory or to wrap a present beautifully. I realise there are people in the world that appear to be more 'crafty' than others but that doesn't mean it is only those small few that can turn a ribbon into a masterpiece! Here are just a few unique ways I have found our Berisfords Ribbons to be used: - If you own a necklace that you love but the fastening has unfortunately broken you can attach a ribbon (to match) to either side of the jewellery and can create a whole new piece of fashion jewellery which ties in a bow. - You may recently have made a trip to Ikea (or any home store) and found just how cheap a bag of 100 tea light candles are but don't want to spend money on tea light holders, so why not up-cycle your pasta sauce, jam and chutney jars, tie different coloured ribbons around them and Voila! - Being a complete book worm like my self you might have started reading more than one book at once and only have one book mark, so buying a length of Berisfords Ribbon to keep your page is ideal - and looks pretty! All you have to do is keep the page you're on open and put the ribbon up through the page and around the back of the book and tie a bow. - The sun may be shining and you might decide to throw a last minute garden party for you and your friends to enjoy but probably don't want to spend a huge fortune, buying lengths of different coloured/patterned ribbons could be your life saver! Just attach them to branches of trees and railings and let the summer breeze catch them - it will look spectacular. If you don't think thats enough you could also tie bows around the back of chairs or tie small bows around the base of wine glasses etc. The great thing with our Berisfords Ribbon collection is that there are so many different types and an array of gorgeous colours. Our ribbons range from 3mm wide up to 50mm and we have a selection of satin, silver, gold and iridescent edge, velvet, grosgrain, sheer elegance, super sheer and lots of nice patterned designs - so whatever you plan to do, we should have the ribbon for you!
