Ways To Use An Ivory Silk Ribbon

By Michael Campbell


Even the simplest of items can be transformed into something visually pleasing with a little bit of spice and creativity. Being crafty can save money, as well as adding some individuality and a personal finishing touch to a gift or project. An ivory silk ribbon can be used in numerous ways, and therefore should not be discarded as a useless item, but put into storage even if you don't need it right now.

Ivory is a great color that can be used with many other colors. It is great for bridal projects, and many brides gravitate towards ivory over white for a more vintage-style wedding. A silk ribbon can be used in many ways to complement the bride's overall look, or even incorporated into the decor for the perfect finishing touch.

In a bridal setting, a silk ribbon can be used to tie around a bouquet and finished in a bow. A sparkly brooch will add something special to the overall effect. A ribbon can also be worn by the bride herself, either in her hair, wrapped around her hairstyle or the crown of her head, or around her waist as a sash for a defined waistline. Again, a brooch or other detail could be added to the ribbon.

Ribbons could be used elsewhere in the bridal party. Flower girls would look very cute with ribbon sashes around their waist and tied in a bow at the back, or even junior bridesmaids. If the flower girl is throwing any petals as she walks down the aisle, then tie around the basket or the handle with the ribbon to finish it off.

You could use ribbons in your daily looks and outfits, too. Tie one as a choker around your neck, securing either behind or in front in a bow for a girly finish. Add some beads to it to create a different looks, switching up the beads whenever you like.

Ribbons can be used as a lovely finishing touch on a birthday or Christmas gift. Finish off gift wrapping with a ribbon in a bow - there are lots of tutorials available online showing how to tie different kinds of bows. You can use a ribbon on a box or at the top of a gift bag.

On the topic of Christmas, an ivory-colored ribbon is wonderful to incorporate into the decor. It can be woven into a wreath or tied in a bow at the top to hang on a front door. It can also replace string to hang up tree ornaments. Using the ribbons in the ornaments and decorations can add a little something extra.

This is one of those items that can always be used again and again for different projects. By keeping it carefully stored in some tissue or a box, it will last for a long time for whenever the time comes to use it. The ideas are endless; you just have to be a little creative!
