    If I had that scrap ribbon, I would make bracelets out of it, alternating ribbon sections with peyote stitch of the same width in a contrasting/complimentary color and pattern. With enough ribbon, an extra duplicate length used for the bracelet would be sewn onto a handbag to customize and coordinate with the bracelet.

    Continue to embellish my 9 yo daughter's jeans, like I do with the bags of ribbon scraps I buy at Hobby Lobby. I think we'd add a few hair accessories, too.

    First thing that would happen at our house: ribbons would be dumped on the floor. We'd turn on the music and my two girls would grab some ribbon and twirl around & around. Once we've cleaned up, I'm thinking cut ribbon trim along the bottom of twirly skirts or a patchwork tree advent calendar or a plain tree with ribbon ornaments w/buttons to hang on it...hmm, juices are flowing.

    I would wrap a cheap little dollar store headband in all those ribbons, hot glueing along the way. Then I would glue together a long strip of ribbons and twist it all up and make a ribbon rosette to put on my ribbon covered headband. Easy peasy and cute too boot!

    I posted a link to your challenge on twitter : LDCdesigns and on my blog http://ldcdesigns.blogspot.com/ and I posted one on my facebook !

    If I had that much ribbon I would make some sweet headbands for sure. I am in college and all the girls just want a way to throw their hair up and have it look good. I would also use the ribbon to make awesome purse straps. I love purses. I could probably find a million things to do with it if I had it.. oh the possibilities...

    Great idea !
    congratulations to whoever wins !

And I made the scrap ribbon camera strap cover as a Christmas gift for my step mom (how cute! they'll be matching!!). I'm thinking of making the wallet for my daughter, and I'm making 2 more belts one for my 4 year old son (cause he just has to have the stuff the girls have) and for my 18 month old cousin for a Christmas gift.

    But I suppose that there are a few more tutorials that I can do too!

    I love your scrap wallets, I also have been wanting to try my hand at making some cute (but simple) hair clips for my daughter. She tends to pull them out and lose them so I don't want to spend a ton of money on supplies, so scrap ribbon would be awesome!

    Oh golly...LOVE ribbon. Besides fabric, it is my absolute FAVORITE! :) We are living in Korea for 2 years & I had to bring my own stash. Would LOVE to have such creative possibilities. Definitely, I would make hair bows for the girls & I absolutely want to try your camera strap idea. Hmmm...scrapbooking too! I'm sure I can come up with lots of things to use such a delightful load of ribbon for!!!

    Be still my heart! I would make ribbon trees! (And hair bows for my Eleanor, of course.)

    Ribbon trees: Take a cone-shaped styrofoam piece and pin like-colored ribbon strips around the base. They should be in three inch lengths or so folded in half with the cut end up. Cover that row with another row going all the way up to the top. Top with a bow, flower, medallion or such. So cute! I will show you pictures if I win.
