There seems to be a rather growing trend these days for people to take on crafts and do it you projects, from making jewelry to your own clothing and accessories. The many crafts and projects that are out there may seem overwhelming, and you may find yourself wondering where to start, or what your forte may be in the crafting world. There are so many to choose from, including beadwork where you can make your own intricate earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, or crocheting or knitting your own beautiful scarves and shawls. What if you were making your own headbands and belts? There are so many sorts of crafts you can do; it may seem a bit overwhelming!

What if you could start with a beautiful piece of jacquard ribbon, which is simply a fabric of intricate design that is usually quite beautiful and unique in that the pattern is not merely stamped onto the fabric of the ribbon, but the fabric has had a pattern woven directly into it. This makes it uniquely a Jacquard fabric, and there are many ways to incorporate Jacquard ribbons into crafts and projects you may wish to undertake.

For instance, you can make beautiful headbands from pieces of jacquard ribbon that you attach to stretchable fabric or have a tie or clasp at the ends. The accents to any hair design could be enhanced with a unique ribbon that you sew or craft yourself. You can even make roses or flowers out of pieces to accent the headband and make it into a fascinator if you wish. The options are many!

In addition, Woven Jacquard Ribbon is not only soft, but also warm, and wearing it in a cold winter is a wise choice. The weaving of ribbon onto a scarf as a tie or into the scarf itself as an accent can make it more unique and differentiate your design from others. You can add a ribbon to the ends of a shawl as a closure, for chilly or windy days when you don't want it to fall off. Any piece of clothing you have sewn or bought can be decorated with an accenting ribbon to change the design slightly. Adding some patterned jacquard to the bottom of a skirt or to the collar of a plain shirt can add the dimension of playfulness or magnificence to anything you have created for an article of clothing.
