Recycle Cones for your ribbon

Do you love play with ribbons. I love to play with them. Sometimes I sew the ribbon and pull the thread to make a new style of ribbon ( ruffled them ). You can buy ruffled ribbons at store but it's cheaper if you make it by yourself. 


The problem is how to put them after you sew them, cause the original roll cant used anymore. Finally, I decided used recycle cones ( I made from my yarn cone ). I hope it could inspire you how to handle a new style ribbon. You can use can or plastic bottle too. But you must put something heavier in it. To make it steady. 


Da..da..da... your crafting room will look better and tidy with this colourful ribbon.
