Ribbon Ring strawberries

One of the most frequently asked questions I get at conventions is,"What do you do with ALL THAT RIBBON??" Firstly, all that ribbon in my booth isn't ALL my ribbon... (tee hee). My most favorite ribbons are at home, safely hanging on the wall, on Ribbon Rings, away from ICE CREAM FINGERS!!!

To answer the question: mostly I use it on scrapbook pages. Of course, I use it on other craft projects too, like cards, chipboard albums etc. My daughter occasionally let me put ribbon in her hair and I love doing that. I make beautiful ribbon bows for presents and cupcake boxes too.

I also really enjoy making little non-traditional things out of ribbon. You know, things that you wouldn't normally make out of ribbon, like cupcakes. As my previous posts have mentioned, I have made the CUTEST pink and white ribbon cupcakes that you will ever see.

So, what is next? Now I am on to strawberries! I got the idea this afternoon and I am determined to make the cutest basket full of ribbon strawberries. I will post a picture when I am done.

Ribbon Ring sequin truffle & cupcakes

Here is a close-up of my ribbon cupcake.

So easy to make. The picture doesn't do it justice. In-person, you just want to hug it.

And the sequin truffle. This thing is terribly cute. Seriously.

Ribbon Ring cupcakes

Everyone who visited me at my Ribbon Ring booth in Salt Lake City ooooh and ahhhhed over these yummy cupcakes. They have nothing to do with scrapbooking or ribbon storage but they are soooo fun to look at! They are made with common craft ingredients: ribbon (my personal favorite), sequins, puff balls, buttons, pipe cleaners and a WHOLE lot of stick pins. I used plastic cupcake holders which I spray painted to match my color scheme, but I have used real paper cupcake holders in the past. Just use a whole bunch for each cupcake so they are sturdy.


My favorite is the pink and black ribbon cupcake on the middle rack. The ribbons are curled in circles and look like fun chocolate shavings. Of coarse, I sprayed them with glitter and yes they do look delicious! This cupcake rack brought so many people over to my booth. I could have sold this display a dozen times at least. It would be very cute at a baby shower!!! Once people realized I wasn't selling cupcakes, they were thrilled to see Ribbon Ring! I love talking ribbon storage!

If you have any questions about how there were made, just email me. I am happy to give you my recipe.
