Ribbon Girls

Tips and tools for budding artists to beribbon their lampshades, clothes, jewelry, totes, and more! 

Here is a boundless source of inspiration for crafty kids to turn their headbands, belts—even paper clips—into works of art, using ordinary ribbons, buttons, and string. The project materials are inexpensive and easy to find—you probably have most of them in a junk drawer right now! This book will instill a lifelong love of all things handmade in young artists. From brightening up their bedroom decor and hair accessories to personalizing their school supplies and jewelry, these projects are the perfect antidote to rainy day boredom.

“Wind, weave, twist, and tie—that’s the premise behind 26 projects created from ribbons, buttons, rickrack, and string. Kids ages 8 and up can dive right in and make these projects themselves.”—American Sewing Guild Notions
