Paper Ribbon

I wanted to finish the discussion of the Iron Craft Wrapping that I did this week. Today, I wanted to share with you the paper ribbon that is featured on the package. I simply took a piece of white craft paper and cut it into long strips that were two inches in width.

Taking strips of paper cut from security envelopes, I glued the strips in alternating patterns onto the white craft strips. I varied the width of the strips and their orientation.

Once the glue is dried, you simply cut the length of the ribbon to size and use like you would a regular ribbon, although you can't loop it or tie it in any fashion.
