Bows, knots, and pleats.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today we are going to learn about all the things you can do with ribbon. Well, maybe not all. Let’s say some.

First you have all the different knots. You have knots for hunters, sailors, and more. The knots for crafters usually are a traditional one or a square knot. If you can’t get the knot to face the right direction then maybe you should tie a separate piece around it so you have more control.

Then you have bows and all the different types. And don’t forget if you want a double or triple loop. Don’t even start with all the floral bows.

And my point is that while we remember to tie our ribbon in a knot or a bow we don’t often remember to pleat it. So grab your glue dots and pleat instead.

If you would like to see more about this please join me tomorrow night for the Facebook Live at 7 pm.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂
