Brighten up your outfit

Ribbons are such lovely little treats. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials and can be used for any number of things. I recently ventured into the wonderful world of Spotlight and rediscovered the ribbon isle. I have been inspired by the film Marie Antoinette, and decided to buy some gorgeous ribbon which I will transform into necklaces, bracelets and hair ribbons.

If you want to add a little sparkle to your outfit without spending too mcuh money or looking over the top, take a thin ribbon and attach a broach to it, or perhaps a loner necklace charm. It is elegant, pretty and cheap, so why not give it a go?





A metre of ribbon is generally enough for a choker necklace and a bracelet. Thin ribbon is best for necklaces as it keeps the neck looking long and slender.








Thicker ribbon is good for hair, though thin ribbon works equally as well. Play around with color combos and see what suits you.
