Customize Your Ribbon

Creating Custom Ribbon



Our 7/8" Cotton Ribbon is so versatile. You can use it straight out of the package, dye it by spritzing it with Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (US/CAN) and a Stampin’ Spritzer, or customize it with our Stampin’ Write Markers (US/CAN)—which is what I am going to show you today.



Since Stampin’ Write Markers come in our exclusive colors, you can customize your ribbon with whatever color you need to coordinate with your project. (The colors featured here are Midnight Muse, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, and Bermuda Bay.)



Here are some fun and easy patterns that I came up with for my custom ribbon. I used the brush tip for all three designs. As you can see, the ribbon picked up the ink color really well. (If you look closely, you’ll see that my free-hand lines and polka dots aren’t perfect. And that’s okay—the imperfections give projects a handmade look and feel!)
So pull out your cotton ribbon and markers today and start designing your own custom ribbon!
