Using Ribbons In Your Display

Florists ribbon and curling ribbon are two great mediums for adding interest to your display. The thin curling ribbon is good for :
1) Hanging written work from the ceiling, so much nicer than wool or string.
2) Adding a finishing touch to your artwork.

The wide florists ribbon can be used for:
1) Creating great effects such as hanging vines, seaweed, kite tails, hair etc.
2) Making bows and loops to add a 3D touch to your wall display.
3) Adding the feeling of movement to any mobiles that you hang up.

Most florists are happy to let you order ribbon through them and are often cheaper than if you order through art companies / catalogues - some florists will also donate ribbon to schools so it's always worth asking if they have anything that they can give the school ( and equally important to take a photo in to show them where their ribbon went when you use it in a project).
