How to Make Your Own French Stamped Ribbon


A great find at the thrift store this weekend.


Cotton seam binding

It's soft, it's light and beautiful! 

It feels like a cotton sheet....And best of all, it holds it's shape and doesn't fray!


I had a fun idea!


 I used Distress Ink ...


and French stamps to stamp all along the ribbon, then let it dry.

I think I like this one the best...


 I wrapped them up in 10' bolts 


A great ribbon for packages, scrapbooks or crafts
(non-washable)

    Hi Susan,
    The seam binding was a great find and I LOVE the stamps you used on it. Great idea!
    I read your previous post too....don't know what that thing is either but it is very interesting and makes a great art piece.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

    I love this idea! I'm off to visit your etsy store. Have you ever shipped to South Africa before. I wonder if the postage is very expensive?? x Sharon

    These are AWESOME, Susan! I had not seen this post! I really like the idea of using the Fleur de lis - it doesn't have to be stamped with words to be charming! Well done!
