Valentine Ribbon Uses

You might be saying to yourself, “Wait! I thought the holidays were over!” But, here comes another one! And what a great way to use some of that left over red and white scrap ribbon! So, pull yourself together and gather all your creativity onto the table. Bring it on… bring on Valentine’s Day!

Simple projects for just about anyone.

Let’s just get this idea out of the way. Super quick, grab a good length of leftover ribbon roll (red or white to match the season) and wrap that perfect gift for your special someone. This could be a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a quick box of chocolates. By adding the ribbon, it shows how much you really care.

Got kids? Do they need Valentine cards for classes at school? Here are a few quick ideas to use up those ribbon scraps.

Idea one – While this doesn’t really use ribbon scraps, it could still be fun! Order badge ribbons with a cute phrase and your child’s name. Then when the time comes, each recipient child will have a unique memoir.

Idea two – At some point in everyone’s life, we’ve all ended up needing paint for something. Remember those paint chip sample cards? Go grab a bunch of those and either punch hearts into them or buy stickers to simply decorate for the kids in your child’s class. Once decorated, use that scrap ribbon roll to tie streamers to the top of the paint chips. These fun and unique Valentine Cards can now be reused as a bookmark.

Idea three – When was the last time you really used all of the baking cups for cupcakes or muffins? Have any left over? Stack a couple of these together, cutting and trimming some of them, to create a stacked look. Use a fun sticker for the middle of this fun rosette ribbon. Once completed, each rosette still needs the streamers. Use those ribbon roll scraps and attach a couple to the bottom of each rosette. These can now be attached to a piece of card stock or given as is.

While these ideas are to use leftover ribbon pieces you might have, don’t hesitate to order new ribbon rolls, rosette ribbons or badge ribbons to meet your needs. Be creative and, most importantly, have fun!

TOP 5: Holiday Ribbon Ideas

A simple how to list for personalized ribbon ideas during the holidays.

ORNAMENTS CREATED FROM RIBBON ROLLS

All you need is a roll of ribbon and some imagination to work with these ribbon ideas! Wind your ribbon roll into small circles and secure with a pin. Or, fold them sections on top of each other to create ribbon candy. Make small Christmas trees or other shapes; securing each with a pin or a staple. Hang these from your Christmas tree with more ribbon or a paper clip.

ROSETTE RIBBON BOWS ON WREATHS

What a great ribbon idea! Use that award rosette ribbon this year on your holiday wreath. Simply secure it in place of the traditional bow to add your own personal flair to your door or mantel.

TO/FROM TAGS FROM BADGE RIBBONS

We’ve covered this one before, but it’s such a great idea that we’re mentioning it again! Use badge ribbons with the message “To” and “From” imprinted. Simply fill in the names with a permanent marker and attach them to the respective presents with tape.

HANGING DECORATIONS FROM WINDOWS

Make pretty and inviting decorations in your windows by hanging decorations and ornaments with ribbon rolls in your windows. Make sure to taper them to create a unique and fun look! Add tinsel or greenery to your display and finish off with a large hand-made bow. This is a great idea for those smaller windows that need that extra little touch.

TABLE SETTINGS USING RIBBON ROLLS

Hosting Christmas dinner and need to make the table look extra special? Personalized ribbon rolls are a great way to accomplish this task. Wrap the silverware or napkins at each setting in holiday ribbon and bring your unique style to the table. Or use the personalized ribbon to tie around the centerpieces. There are many different ideas here!

Whatever your use this year, make personalized ribbons a part of your life!

Remember that each ribbon will be great at drawing attention to a present or anything else it is attached to. Badge ribbons aren’t just for name badges and badge holders anymore!

Corporate Gifting and Making Impressions

The holidays are here… are you ready for corporate gifting this season?

Corporate gifting is one of the best ways to grow and maintain your business. Most companies agree that the basic reason for gifting is to acknowledge relationships and improve personal connections. Corporate gifting is an opportunity to connect with your clients, strengthen employee ties, and share your holiday cheer. Recruiting, retention and development are three other great reasons to give a corporate gift.

But remember, the packaging is just as important as choosing the right gift for your associates. And what better way than to wrap them up with love, care and your own personal flair! By simply adding a fun personalized ribbon, each present will become a unique creation for any special person in your life. Spend the time and money on the wrapping to reflect the value of your client and employee relationships. Customized gifts and wrapping keep your name in the recipient’s mind, so why not make it personalized? The best gifts are heart-felt and to show it, custom wrapping helps to convey your intentions and sincerity to the recipient.

For many companies, corporate gifting is a fundamental detail within their marketing strategies. Most everyone would agree that, if done properly, gift giving is a practical and sensible way to build a partnership with valued associates. By doing this, the bottom-line becomes a social, rather than a financial, benefit. So, whatever your gift choice is, remember to brand it with a particular flair…you!
