Hand Printed Vintage Ribbon


Love is in the air... and in the details!


Using a roll of vintage cotton seam binding


mini stamps, and a pencil eraser...

I created beautiful vintage ribbon for Valentine packages, 
or Valentine decor...


I taped together the letters L O V E to hold them together 
and get a straight line... 
I chose letters that were not all the same font for interest.


and cut a heart into a pencil eraser using an Exacto knife...


My ink of choice is StazOn ink pad, 
it is permanent and doesn't smear.


I printed the word "love" down the length of my seam binding then went back and printed a heart between every word.


The results are simply adorable!


I packaged them in 3 yard packs and added them to my


Happy Valentine's Day!
