Creative Ribbons: Around Your Home

Ever wonder what people really do with all those ribbon rolls?
Here’s an idea to get your creative juices flowing: use them around your home!

When most people think of ribbon rolls, they consider wrapping presents or decorating for a party or some other function. Some people, however, think “what can I do with this that will really make it quirky?”

Here’s a few ideas to use up all those little strips you might have laying around. While most of these don’t require a personalized ribbon roll, each project is even more personal when they are used. So, grab whatever you can and let’s get started.

One of the easiest ideas is to simply find groups of things to tie together. From flowers and vases to other decorations around your house, there are plenty of things to tie a pretty bow around! Tie a small stack of books together with your ribbon rolls and leave it as a decorative piece on a coffee or side table.

Most people have unsightly cords hanging from their electronics. Simply wrap these cords with a colorful piece of ribbon or even label them with personalized ribbon strips to make them fit in better with your decor.

Another great idea is to use personalized ribbon as trimming around your home. Use them to trim your favorite throw pillow. Wrap a ribbon roll around a decorated shoe box or other organizer. Or use them in your scrapbooks and journals. Don’t forget to use personalized ribbon rolls with names, dates or favorite quotes.

Other great ideas for your home!

Weave a small blanket from ribbons. Try a lap blanket or something more child-sized for an easy craft project. And how cute would that blanket be with custom ribbon rolls with special messages or dates and names! Don’t just settle on ribbon rolls for this project. Custom rosette ribbons and badge ribbons are also great to use.

We’ve given you this idea before, but use the ribbon rolls for bookmarks. Use two colors to weave a special bookmark for your favorite reading spot in the house. Or use a longer one for your best cookbook.

Whatever your choice, personalized ribbons are great when you use them around your house! From names and dates to a special message, each ribbon roll can be custom made to meet all your needs.

A Ribbon’s Importance

Finding a ribbon’s importance is key to understanding what a ribbon really is.

Ribbon comes in handy, even in everyday life. And as seemingly unimportant as a piece of pretty fabric is, personalized ribbon can really make a difference. To fully understand a ribbon’s importance, let’s discuss the three types of ribbon. Each of these ribbons has its own importance.

Classic Ribbons
Each classic ribbon is a flat piece of ribbon. Attach them to a name badge as extra identification. Imprint with logos or graphics for awards and other marketing tools. Or, use them as a promotional tool for a sale or other event. Order these classic ribbons as stock versions or customize them to meet most any need.

Rosette Ribbons
This ribbon type is typically given as an award to winners and/or participants in events. These ribbons are very pretty with the decorative tops and bottom streamer. They have an elegant look that shows off the award in a spectacular way.

Ribbon Rolls
From celebrations to awards, ribbon rolls are extremely versatile. Customize any ribbon roll with a personalized message. Simply tie them around bags and boxes to make your gifts truly unique. Or use them for decorations at your next party.

Now, what is a ribbon’s importance?

Let’s discuss a ribbon’s importance now that we know what ribbon types are out there. Ribbons can be used in so many different ways. From badge ribbons to ribbons wrapped around gifts, each ribbon contains its own importance.

A ribbon’s importance runs from color choice to size choice. Colors can range from anything to do with an event to sporting team colors. Make sure that your colors match your event theme and each other.

Another importance of ribbon is to choose the ribbon type. You don’t want to personalize a promotional imprinted ribbon to wrap a gift in. Choose a ribbon roll for this task.

DIY: Family Reunion Ribbons

Get creative this year with your family reunion!

It’s soon to be full on summer time, and typically that means a family reunion is on the schedule. Are you planning one this year? Here are some quick tips to help get the ball rolling.

Don’t forget to send out the invitations!
With this as probably the easiest step, make sure it’s done first and you don’t miss anyone. Make these invitations inviting and super special by including personalized ribbons. Simply print up your invitations however you would like and wrap a length of ribbon from a ribbon roll that has been customized with the family name or motto and the date of the party. Choose from almost any color and make it part of your theme.
Don’t want a traditional invitation? Try using a custom badge ribbon imprinted with all the details. Most of our ribbons can be printed with your choice of text or logos. Simply provide all the party instructions and details and choose your favorite color.

Badge ribbons are also a great way to identify people. Start with name badges so everyone won’t be guessing people’s names all day and attach badge ribbons to familiarize each other with how they are related. Create custom ribbons with words like cousin, aunt, sister or simply choose a last name to indicate which family line they originate from.

Another fun way to get people excited for the reunion is to personalize a custom ribbon roll with the family crest or use tartan colors. Even if you’ve never had a family crest, create your own and get it printed on a colorful ribbon. Use these wonderful ribbon rolls for decorations on tables, chairs and anywhere else you can come up with. Even tie them around favors for each guest to take home.

Rosette ribbons can also play an important part of your family reunion. Order each rosette with a title, placement or create your own custom rosette to present to winners of games and events that are held during your reunion. Give a rosette to everyone that participates or choose winners.

Don’t forget to involve the kids in all the fun. From may poles using ribbon rolls to personal ribbon wands there’s a ribbon for everything. Here’s a cute idea: make kid awards using personalized ribbon rolls fashioned into a lanyard with a candy bar attached at the end for a medal. Choose any candy and any ribbon and make sure all participants get this coveted award.

No matter your ribbon choice, be sure to make this family reunion a memorable one with your own personalization. From names and dates to themes and mottos, the sky is really the limit here. Make it your own and have some fun. But don’t forget the sun block!

Finding the Right Ribbons for Your Event

It doesn’t matter what event you’re planning, we have ribbons to meet your needs!

From weddings to parties to corporate meetings, event ribbons come in handy for all situations. Whether it is for providing identifying titles or awards or simply to decorate for that company party, choosing an appropriate ribbon may not always be an easy task.

Here is a quick guide to help you make that important decision:

choosing ribbons for your event badge ribbons for titles and awards

choosing ribbons for your next event full color badge ribbons

Badge Ribbons are great for those identifiers. Attach these simple ribbons using the adhesive strip to name badges and name tags to show who is who at a corporate event. Use titles such as president, secretary, staff and so many more. Also use these as achievement ribbons by using titles like sponsor, alumni, delegate or pretty much anything else. Badge ribbons are a great tool to use at events like corporate meetings or conventions. Order in-stock titles or create your own imprinted message.

Multi-Color Ribbons are the most versatile. These can be used as bookmarks, awards, badge ribbons and even corporate branding pieces. Each chosen ribbon is printed in bright full colors and can contain any message, graphic or image that your event needs.

Other Imprinted Ribbons include custom text and graphics. Use these ribbons as badge ribbons or use them as awards at your event. Each imprinted ribbon can be imprinted with your special message. Use graphics and text to make these ribbons unique. Award Ribbons fall into this group and can be ordered as in-stock placements or personalized to meet your needs.

Ribbon Rolls are perfect for decorations. Use these to dress up tables, walls and other fixtures at your next event. Personalize each ribbon with the date, event theme or any other custom message. Ribbon rolls are great for adding character or branding to conferences, meetings or parties. Tie them around chairs or table centerpieces to emphasize your company or brand.

Rosette Ribbons are not only for awards! While awards are perfect on a rosette ribbon, each ribbon choice available can be customized to meet any need. Use these for unique decorations during your next event. Replace the average bow on a present or party favor with a rosette.

No matter your event, from parties to corporate, we have the ribbon you’re looking for!
