Ribbon is a wonderful way to accent your scrapbook layouts. You can attach ribbon to your pages with adhesive, tie it through an eyelet, brads or even staples. Picture hangers are also a great way to attach ribbon.

How to Tie a Bow~ Take a piece of ribbon, make a loop and hold between your index finger and thumb in one hand. With the same strand of ribbon, make a loop and hold between thumb & index finger of your other hand, Now tie the loops together (as if you were tieing your shoe). After you've made a bow, cut the ribbon so the ends are the same length.

Stop Ribbon Fray cut the ribbon at a very slight angle, not too sharp. Then light a big kitchen wooden match and let the flame even out and then just barely touch to the angle of the ribbon all at once and it will melt the end. Please do this over your kitchen sink with water handy and ready to put out the match if you need to. I have had ribbons catch on fire

How to make Ribbon Photo Corners, first select a ribbon and cut to a little more than double it's width. Second fold the top corners to the bottom center. Third iron it and place it on your page with an adhesive.

Run your ribbon through a Xyron machine to easily adhere ribbon to your layout. You could also make a bow and run the bow (as long as its small enough) through the machine.
