Learn how to make an awareness ribbon in a few very simple steps!
“An awareness ribbon can only be mass produced and worn on a specific awareness day of the year,” said, no-one ever! And, what’s more not every woman, man and child are made the same. Whether you have your own cross to bear or know someone who does, you can custom make your very own awareness ribbons. Simply follow along with this video tutorial by our designer Christel Jules.
We all grow to like different styles and we all come into this earth with different shapes and sizes. When you custom-make your own awareness ribbon you can choose what colors and fabrics you want to use. Then, make your own to either adopt a trend or emulate one already popular.
The inspiration for this version of an awareness ribbon and details in this ribbon design came from Christel’s personal battle with a condition called Lichen Sclerosus. To learn more about what Lichen Sclerosus is and her story to help bring awareness could very possibly save a life! You can find the helpful blog at her website, Silky stems design studio.
