Red Plaid Christmas Ribbon Combination


Here's something a lot of people never consider...pairing your ribbons for a really special look to your holiday gifts or tree.  Each week, I'll post one to two videos about these pairings.  Some are traditional, some are modern showstoppers.  You may want to visit my previous blog on how to decorate your tree with ribbon.  It's very informative with a whole lot of tips.  Even my daughter who helped to film it learned a lot.  So here's the first--a very traditional look.

About Grosgrain Ribbon

Did you know the translation for the French word grosgrain?  It is coarse texture. This ribbon is aptly named, because it is a textured woven ribbon, very sturdy and utilitarian. It is durable and washable hence you will see it in many fashions, the brim of hats,wraped and woven into plaits and pigtails and, cheerleader ribbon. You can find grosgrain ribbon in many widths, solids, patterns pleats and sometimes scalloped edges. Grosgrains are made of a variety of fibers usually a blend of cotton and viscose, and more recently, green and ecological bamboo.

Grosgrain is an excellent choice for hair ribbons, because it doesn't slide or un-tie

Here at Over the Moon Ribbons we have a wide range of grosgrains,in the coming weeks the Swiss dot. confetti dot, and asprin dots will arrive.

Although the bamboo is not shown, it is available, just e-mail me with your request.www.allim089@cs.com
