Hand Printed Vintage Valentine Ribbon
Love is in the air... and in the details!
These are the supplies I am using for this Valentine's Day DIY printed ribbon:
1. a roll of vintage cotton twill tape
2. mini stamps
and
3. a pencil with an eraser.

I created beautiful hand stamped ribbon that can be used on Valentine packages or Valentine decor... print out any words for any occasion!
I began by taping together mini letter stampers. The letters
L O V E held together and get a straight line.
I chose letters that were not all the same font for interest. You can use a set of stampers all in the same font as well.
Next I cut a heart into a pencil eraser using an X-Acto knife.
My ink of choice is StazOn ink pad, it is permanent and doesn't smear. You can do it in black like I did or use colored ink, StazOn comes in many colors!
I printed the word "love" down the length of my seam binding then went back and printed a heart between every word.
I packaged them in 3 yard packs and sold them all.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Cute idea but that is not seam binding, it is twill tape.
