Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog today, everyone!
Karen Letchworth posting today with some sweet little vintage wooden spools that I decorated with some goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I have far too many of these in my possession, so I thought I'd do something creative with them. At
Really Reasonable Ribbon, there's always a perfect
Lace,
Seam Binding or
Embellishment to help me whip up something special.

As you may know, the
Seam Binding we carry hasn't been altered (as other companies sell it). It's the straight seam binding off the spool. That doesn't, however, mean that you are stuck with it that way. By purchasing your
Seam Binding at RRR, you have the option of using it neat and straight or crinkly and grungy. This way, the choice is yours. If you want the "grungy" looking Seam Binding, all you need to do is touch the edges of your
Seam Binding with a Walnut Ink of some kind. Then, wet your fingertips and pinch, squeeze and twist it until you've got a dirty, crinkly more grungy look. That's what I did here, as I wanted that vintage look.
The third spool (below) was kinda short and fat. I ran some more narrow
Ivory Crochet Lace around this spool, and I stuck a bronze paperclip upside down in the hole. I was thinking...I'll make several of these and use them as name card holders on the Christmas table. The top of this spool is adorned with a
Red Open Rose and a
Dark Green Open Rose.
There's no end to the possibilities of all the CUTE things you can make with products from
Really Reasonable Ribbon. I hope you'll treat yourself to some crafty Christmas presents. Come on...you deserve some crafty goodness. Happy shopping!
Blessings,
Karen
