To celebrate my 200th post, I'm offering up some blog candy. It includes a retired hostess set, Bitty Basics, some Creative Imaginations velvet brads, American Crafts ribbon and some chocolate felt flowers.
I wrote a post on Gingersnap Creations this week about using up ribbon scraps. To be eligible to win this candy, please read this post and leave a comment here letting me know your favorite way to use up your ribbon scraps - it can be on my list or a new idea.
A random drawing will take place Monday, March 16 at noon (Eastern time).
Good luck!
I use my tidbits on tags or ties for small gift bags. I keep them in a container labeled 'snippets' so that I can easily pull them out for my cards and projects.

recently when i went to make a card i realized i didnt have enough of the ribbon i wanted to use so i doubled it up with a contrasting ribbon as an extra accent.

I loved your ribbon scrap ideas! Thanks for sharing. I tend to use my ribbon scraps to tie though eyelets or to tie around favor bags. Thanks for the chance to win. jmniffer

Wonderful ideas, I mostly use my little pieces to thread through buttons or I add them in the knot of a bow of a different ribbon. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

I have used scraps for all of those ideas shown! I think my fav. way is to accent the eyelets! I just have to find a better way to store them! I will pick up my blog candy at our next meeting!!!!

Love these ideas~!! If I have scraps that are big enough, I like to stamp a sentiment on them, but otherwise use them as accents, such as folding them over and either adhering under a layer so a piece stickes out or by stapling onto the card. I absolutely love adding ribbons to journals along the spine....really adds so much! Thanks for the chance at blog candy!

Really enjoyed reading your post on all the different uses of ribbon scraps, I too love ribbon on my cards, one thing I also do besides all the ones you had listed is adhere a piece folded in half behind a button or tie a lil knot and adhere to the top of the button!
