Don’t throw small ribbon scraps away anymore.  Bowdabra blog has tons of tutorials using small pieces of ribbon to make adorable hair bows, décor items and more.

Materials:

Decorative glass jar with cover

Scraps of ribbon

Popsicle sticks

Tape

Instructions:

1. First, gather all your ribbon scraps.

2. Then, use the tape to tape the end of the ribbon to the popsicle stick. Wrap the ribbon around the stick and tape the end.  You can use wider tongue depressor type stick for wider ribbons.

3. Repeat wrapping all the ribbons and then, layer them in the jar.

4. It’s easy to separate the ribbons by color, texture or seasonal ones.

5. Now you are all ready to create with Bowdabra. Simply unwind the desired amount of ribbon and then re-tape to the stick.

6. Never toss a ribbon scrap again!
