I love ribbon! I’ve been creating hair bows and crafting with ribbons since I was a child. I’ve come up with numerous ways to re-purpose the cardboard spools that the ribbon comes on. Ribbon bracelets are one of my favs.
They’re quick and easy! They don’t (usually) require a trip to the craft store. They can be made for all occasions.
Supplies:
- ribbon
- cardboard ribbon spool
- scissors
- hot-glue gun
Directions:
- cut ribbon to 18-32 inches. ribbon length varies – depending the size of the spool and width of the ribbon
- hot-glue the end of the ribbon to the inside of the (clean) ribbon spool.
- wrap the ribbon around the spool, slightly overlapping the ribbon.
- secure the ribbon to the spool with hot-glue, as needed.
- trim the end of the ribbon as needed. secure the end of the ribbon to the inside of the spool using hot-glue.
Embellish and wear!

You are so crafty. I dislike it when people ask me how I have the time for my projects but… HOW do you find the time? lol I have the sneaking suspicion that you are light years ahead of me in the organization department!
These are gorgeous you guys! And of course I LOVE the red, white, and blue. Great job passing on your gift to all the littles:D Oh how I wish I had that talent.
