#196 - RIBBON PLEATING

Good Morning Crafty Catz Fans. Nick here are you ready for a new challenge, I do hope so!

We all enjoyed hopping by your blogs last week looking at your stunning creations . 

Dianne will be back tomorrow with the winners of our

REAL or FAUX STITCHING

with the option of MATERIAL

challenge

Ok so what do we have for you this week?

 We would like to see 

RIBBON PLEATING

So what does this mean? well, it's anything with a ribbon that is folded.

We have the amazing CRAFTY RIBBONS sponsoring us this week.

 

Crafty Ribbons is a ribbon emporium, we are passionate about ribbons and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others. Our range of Christmas ribbons is second to none.

Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel?  Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft.  Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all!  Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths.

Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects, or visit our blog they use nothing but ribbon.  Go on, have a try... It's worth it !
