Originally I had hung all my ribbons on one wall of our house. However, that is no longer an option as we are remodeling. I do want to do something with the ribbons, however. So can anyone give me names or websites of people they recommend to do ribbon blankets or maybe just a ribbon wall hanging? I don't have all that many - maybe 75 full ribbons and assorted smaller rosettes. But I do want to do something with them, instead of putting them in a box.

Any help?

Or do people have pictures of other creative things to do with ribbons?

You can put them into a shadow box (which is a deeper photo frame), they look quite nice, and that something you can do yourself :).

Scotchie's are AWESOME.
My friend Sarah has one and they are AWESOME.

I want a ribbon quilt of the good ribbons and a ribbon pony of the pink/green ones.

I love the idea of the quilts, they are so gorgeous. But I decided to turn mine into a wall hanging, since that goes better with my decor!

The hardest thing was the arranging. You have to have a plan before you start cutting these things to bits :lol:

I bought a big piece of masonite and some 3M adhesive. The picture of my project shows it unfinished. What I plan to do is frame it like a shadowbox type of thing, and then hang it.

Here's a pic:
