As a young girl, I was obsessed with ribbon. I saved ribbons, bows, and strings from anything. Some things never change! I still love ribbons and bows, and you’d be amazed at how useful a piece of black ribbon can be…

Happy Wednesday Y’all! And stay tuned for FRIDAY because I’ve got something special coming up!

Love the different ways you’ve used the ribbon! I love it on the pearl necklace, I have a faux pearl necklace from Indigo Rose Designs and it ties with the ribbon, I like swinging it around like you have and having the ribbon bow on display, it looks so nice :)

This is a great post Sam! Ribbons remind me of my childhood when I would wear them in my hair. These ideas are great for grown ups.
So cute. Love ribbon!

How versatile is this? ! I love how you use them for cufflinks
Thanks Nelah! Actually, I got the idea when I saw a Tom Ford tuxedo shirt. I tried to find it online, but couldn’t! So I had to recreate the look.
These are great ideas Sam! I never thought of just using a ribbon as a belt… (I’m now thinking… duh :) ) I also love the idea for a headband and choker!

this is genius, I love it!
oh i never thought to use it to shorten a necklace. that’s so creative! i used to collect a lot of ribbons when i was still in malaysia; actually just bought some to sew onto the side of an old pair of jeans!

Like the braiding idea too Kimberlee!
ok this is my kind of DIY. how simple and chic and inexpensive! i love these little posts like this, sam. keep em coming! xo
Sam, I’ll never look at ribbons the same way after this. I feel awful for chucking out a whole bunch of beautiful ribbons because I didn’t know what to do with them.
Don’t feel awful M! Your house is probably much more organized than mine! I’m almost a professional hoarder! :-X

Sam! I love this post! Such great ideas that I would have never thought of on my own! My favorite is definitely the ribbons as cuffs! That’s going to be the next thing I try…though I’ll need to get a cuff shirt first!
Loving how you put together this entire post!!

I have a few black ribbons sitting around – now I’ll have to experiment with these ideas! Thanks for sharing.
This is an adorable set of ideas!
