By Michael Campbell


Even the simplest of items can be transformed into something visually pleasing with a little bit of spice and creativity. Being crafty can save money, as well as adding some individuality and a personal finishing touch to a gift or project. An ivory silk ribbon can be used in numerous ways, and therefore should not be discarded as a useless item, but put into storage even if you don't need it right now.

Ivory is such a versatile color that goes well with lots of other colors. The first thing that comes to mind is bridal, and lots of brides-to-be will choose ivory instead of white, especially when planning a wedding with a vintage feel. There are a number of ways in which the silk ribbon could be used in the bride's finished look, or you could incorporate it into the wedding decor.

In a bridal setting, a silk ribbon can be used to tie around a bouquet and finished in a bow. A sparkly brooch will add something special to the overall effect. A ribbon can also be worn by the bride herself, either in her hair, wrapped around her hairstyle or the crown of her head, or around her waist as a sash for a defined waistline. Again, a brooch or other detail could be added to the ribbon.

The rest of the bridal party can also make use of a ribbon. Tying a ribbon around the flower girl's waist will look super cute when finished in a bow in the front or back, also on younger bridesmaids. Use ribbon to wrap around a basket or basket handle if the flower girl is going to be throwing petals down the aisle.

You could use ribbons in your daily looks and outfits, too. Tie one as a choker around your neck, securing either behind or in front in a bow for a girly finish. Add some beads to it to create a different looks, switching up the beads whenever you like.

Ribbons are a great way to add a personal touch to a gift for a birthday or at Christmas. Finish wrapping a gift by tying the ribbon in a big, beautiful bow; there are many different ways to tie a bow, with tutorials online. A ribbon can be tied on a wrapped gift or gift bag.

On the topic of Christmas, an ivory-colored ribbon is wonderful to incorporate into the decor. It can be woven into a wreath or tied in a bow at the top to hang on a front door. It can also replace string to hang up tree ornaments. Using the ribbons in the ornaments and decorations can add a little something extra.

As you can tell, this is an item that can be saved and reused a number of times. Store it safely in a box with some tissue paper to preserve it for as long as you need to until it comes in handy. There are endless amounts of ways to make it useful, just by thinking a little creatively!
