Cut Me, Singe Me, Attach Me, Wear Me


To save time I cut & seal all of my ribbons before hand, so then when I'm making clips I don't have to stop and cut each ribbon. If you make clips you know exactly what I am thinking... stinking little ribbons! I wish they were accessible and organized and ready! Ready when I am ready! Ok so you know my frustration. I had them all organized in zipped bags, and titled with each color. Now getting into the bags each time, trying to keep the bags on the hook began to become so frustrating, and I had to think of another way of keeping them all together, something that would hold them tight, but I could still add more when needed... and being the perfectionist type of person well I couldn't have something that would bend them out of shape. Because then I would get bent out of shape! (big ackward smile) I sinched them with a little toggle is what I call them. I use these to make headbands that are adjustable for any age. Love them! But then I thought how wonderful would that be for my ribbon, and I had an Oprah AH HA MOMENT!!! Ok it isn't that momentus but to me it was because I've been making clips this way for the past 2 years getting in and out of those bags having them all shuffled and falling off the hook. So this was amazing to me. If you need a toggle I have them to sell just hop over to facebook and jot me a note. I hope I have made your day because I am forever going to be happy with my little multi-colored little perfectly stacked and accessible ribbons. xoxo
