You'll also learn how to use ribbon to fashion appealing florals; daisies, chrysanthemums, rosebuds, violets, petunias, dahlias, sunflowers, and even complete bouquets. Then use these charming ribbon creations to trim a hat, decorate baby clothes and lingerie, add a luxurious touch to lampshades and cushions, or embellish shoes, baby carriages, blankets, coat hangers, and much more. Step-by-step instructions show you exactly how to proceed.

Ribbon Trimmings
The book arrived quickly and in great condition, however the book itself is one of the worst books I have ever ordered and I have quit a collection. The whole book is in black and white and blurry at that. The pictures are also blurred and almost impossible to decipher. Would not recommend for anyone.

Ribbon Trimmings and Flowers
This book may be good ... but without color pictures, it is difficult to get an idea of what you are doing. It is also a very boring book to look at. I will probably throw it out.

Lovely ribbon flower design
This is one of the 'lost' arts, I feel still practical for today's fabric artist. Great representation of simple materals that can be used to create gorgeous ribbon flowers and trims.

Duplicate of WI booklets
This book basically has some copies of the original Women's Institute booklets on ribbon making which they have just put a cover on.
