How-To: Ribbon DIY 101 | This is How We Do It

[@nancysinger7494]

I love the too small double ribbon on the tied ribbon-perfect, so pretty. I will have to try that happy accident!

[@JamiePate]

One should actually wish for happy accidents. Seems to me that's when the best ideas come to the surface. When they find you rather than trying to make them happy. Requires creative play, though. That's for sure. Thank you, Nancy!

[@debiv7834]

Beautiful! ❤️Thank you!🎉

[@JamiePate]

Thank you for watching. Such a satisfying way to color ribbon. Have a great week!

[@TheGogirl5]

Thank you so much Jamie love how you teach and give opportunity to use what you have to make the most out of it.

[@JamiePate]

Thank you for your comment. That is a kind thing to say. Hope you are making lots too. Thank you for watching.

[@kristiseidel5935]

I love these so much! And not having to try to match my inks with store bought. You rock Jamie!🤗

[@JamiePate]

Yes! Don't you just love the diy factor? We are here for that indeed!!! Thank you for watching!

[@conniehuet]

Jamie, what an awesome tutorial on dying the seam binding ribbon. Always love your videos!!!

[@JamiePate]

Well, thank you, Connie. I am glad you found this. Thank you for watching. 😃

[@barbaraedmondson1596]

Thank you for teaching me this , I didn't know.

[@JamiePate]

Oh. For sure. It's a lovely way to make those ribbons match what we are making. Thank you for watching, Barbara.

[@sharylolson6949]

Thanks for this tutorial Jamie! I learned so much and definitely will be making my own colored ribbons!

[@JamiePate]

Ah! I love it. It's so fun. Thanks for watching. Glad you found it valuable. Enjoy that making. (it's also it's own odd little crafty therapy too.)😃

[@vintagebaby63]

I love to add bows to everything I make! ❤️ 😂

[@JamiePate]

Yes and yes to that! I mean...your tag name invokes that for sure. So I am sure you have this technique down perfectly. Thank you for watching! Have a great day. ❤

[@e.8823]

I didn't know that you can make yourself crincled ribbon. Thank you so much for telling that!

[@JamiePate]

Yep! Isn't that fantastic? Super simple. Super fun. Pretty stuff for the effort. Thank you for watching.

[@sandyreinking3271]

Thank you so much for doing this!! I really wanted to dye my own ribbon and really need a resource for the ribbon.

[@JamiePate]

Well hello, Sandy! Thank you so much for tuning in. So glad you found a resource. Thank you very much too for watching. Hope you to see around here again.

[@tatteredbookboutique]

How did I miss this?!?! 😮 thank you for linking it on today’s video!! Obsessed!!

[@JamiePate]

I do not even know how you missed this. I mean...it's not like you have nothing else to do in your life at all!!! LOL!!! Isn't it so good. You have a shop, right? At least I am thinking you do. Could be a fun thing to add in there.

[@tatteredbookboutique]

@@JamiePate absolutely.. 🤣🤣🤣shopping is good. I do need to find joy in that again. ♥️

[@JamiePate]

Hope you are doing well. Perhaps a busy time for you. Blessings.

[@nancysinger7494]

Thanks as always for your cheerful videos. I think you showed this a long while ago-and I have been enjoying the process ever since.

[@JamiePate]

You know. I think you are right. You caused me to think...and my thinking is that it's at the end of another video. So now I can at least find this as it is a stand alone. Baahaa!!! So...maybe I made it for me...LOL. OH...the things that I do. Thanks for reminding me though. And thanks for watching it too. Have a good one, Nancy!

[@nancysinger7494]

This was a great video and you’re right , doing it this way will make it easier to look at again. Made me think about the box of ribbon on a top shelf in back of my craft closet-wonder if there’s anything in there to fall in love with again? Be well

[@denisefabian5830]

And that twine...you're killing me!

[@JamiePate]

Wait! I found the twine!!! I have it in the description too...under: Look what I found!!! LOL!

[@marthastrickland7148]

Wow! So lovely Jamie😊 I love how you use them too! Thanks for sharing!

[@cindyborcherding8927]

Hi Jamie! This is pretty much how I make my ribbon as well EXCEPT, I just use a cardboard box and throw a bunch in there and spray away. LOL! Sometimes I don't cover the entire ribbon so it looks more like a "tie dye" ... just depends on what I want. Then I just hang mine with big clips I have and let them dry. Very ironically, I told myself last week it was time to make some ribbon so thanks for the reminder! 😊

[@JamiePate]

Well I love your ideas. Those are great. And then the splat kind of box and do a bunch at once! I need to incorporate that. Thanks for your ideas. And here's to coloring all the things.

[@shellyp8731]

So, so pretty! I’m embarrassed to say my stash is much bigger than yours and you’re a professional! Hahaha! I bought that pretty chiffon ribbon suggested by you after you used it on a project sometime last year! It add such a nice touch. I haven’t tried coloring my own yet…that looks like fun! Thanks for making me laugh with your “Squirrel” references! That’s so me! Adore your channel! 🩵🤍🩷

[@JamiePate]

Don't be embarrassed! I was like...um...well...this is all I got...LOL!!! No wrong or right here. That's one reason we love the paper craft art! Just do you, girl. And maybe even try and color some ribbon. It's a bit addictive. Thank you for watching, Shelly!!!

[@denisefabian5830]

Spots open for the WIN! I have a big roll of seam binding I've wanted to color with TH distress sprays but guess what...it's still white!!!! So much to do...so little time.

[@JamiePate]

Baahaa!!! It's too true. So many things to wanna do. So little time. Well. Save it for a rainy day I guess.

[@PM_1937]

Your masterful ribbon coloring mystery is solved for me! An excellently explained, thorough, and very helpful tutorial. Love the died ribbon technique - so fun with endless color possibilities, and Swapp's ribbon colors are stunning as well. Thank you!

[@JamiePate]

Yes to that! Thank you for your kind words. I am glad it was a good explanation. It's pretty simple. It's enjoyable as well. I can get oddly giddy about the pretty of these things. Thank you for watching. Hope you try as well.

[@marciahawkins1442]

This is so fun. I've always wondered about your died ribbons and how you made them. Going to have to buy some ribbon and get experimenting! I am so in love with all of these projects you made with the cute ribbon. Thanks for the tying ribbon tutorial as well. It's been a "Jamie Pate day" today. Just finished your new class on podia. Soooooo good!

[@JamiePate]

Well, look at you go! You been a busy one, that's for sure. You might need to take a break and air out from all the Jamie things now. LOL!!! Have a great weekend, Marcia!!!

[@marciahawkins1442]

@@JamiePate I’ve loved every second of your videos today. ❤️. You’ve been a busy lady!!! Love it.

[@danieladobson]

Oh, I remember those days when we all used to do this. Brings back memories. ❤

[@JamiePate]

Yes! I know!!! Right? We did. And I think it's only right we bring back the things we love. Even if they are a little old school. Thanks for watching, Daniel. Keep making the pretty stuff.

[@luv3pugs]

To avoid the splotchiness color the ribbon in a baggie. Spray inside the bag then put the ribbon in and move it around. I use all kinds of ribbon to cover the spine of my mini albums. Just how I do it.

[@JamiePate]

I love it. Thank you for your thoughts. I have seen that before. But have never tried. Thanks for the reminder.

[@patriciagrisham5938]

Pretty colors & ribbons, Jamie! Have you ever tried Copic markers to color seam binding ribbon? I have taken the marker directly to the ribbon and colored it that way. Depending on your color choice you can get a softer color, or combine colors for an ombré effect. I’m with you, pretty stuff makes me happy! I have a question about the Minc machine. How often do you use yours (I’m assuming you have one), and is it a good investment? Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[@JamiePate]

Patricia! That is so cool. I have to admit, and don't tell anyone, I have never used a Copic marker. Don't own a one. So I would not have even thought of that idea. But now, I want to try the glitter marker I have here from SBC. And yes I do have a Minc machine. It has been a little bit since I have used mine. But it is always out and at the ready. There is a whole new generation of products out now as well as the machine itself has been repackaged. Are you a card maker? I can see you using as a card maker for sure. Loved loved it so much when Heidi first brought it out. That probably does not answer your question. Was just looking at the toner sheets that are available again...I may pick those up! They are fantastic with die cuts and then foiling. They make lovely lovely embellishment pieces. Oh...and then die cut words!!! Hmmm....yeah...lol...you might want. Are you looking at this one? : shrsl.com/4ekvg

[@patriciagrisham5938]

@@JamiePate To be honest, my Copic marker experience has been only coloring seam binding ribbon! But definitely try the glitter marker. I don’t own any of those. The Minc machine I was looking at is the Heidi Swapp 12 in machine with the folders and tags. I am mostly a card maker and sometimes do treat boxes. I purchased Heidi’s class on the Minc machine a couple of years ago & have her free class, as well. I guess I just want to make sure the Minc won’t become obsolete or that you can’t buy supplies for it. I have machines in my studio that the companies have gone out of business. Remember Making Memories? I have their Slice die cutting machine. What does one do when you get purchase cutting blades?! I think I should take the plunge! But if you’re interested in content ideas for your channel, I’d certainly be interested in anything that uses the Minc. You always make such fantastic embellishments! Have a great week!

[@JamiePate]

@@patriciagrisham5938 I am going to say this on zero authority: if Pink and Main has just re packaged this and is just now selling it, it is gonna be around for a bit again. There is another brand out there that has also been selling their branded Minc. I will have to look that up. Anna Griffin ,I think? SO it's sort of safe to say that yes, it will be around for a bit. And I might do that...it will be a bit though, but reintroduce the Minc and some ideas with that. There are a few Minc videos already on my channel too , just FYI

[@patriciagrisham5938]

@@JamiePate I have the Anna Griffin minc. I don’t care for it one bit. I guess because all she had was precut/toner embellishments. The foil didn’t seem to do much. It looked like a holographic image. You had to turn it all directions to see it had been foiled. I don’t even think they make it any longer. Yes, you have excellent videos on using the Minc! Thank you for the reply & I hope you have a great day!

[@Magshuma]

Such an excellent way to color match the projects!! Does it have to be seam binding? Or can I use any type of ribbon?

[@JamiePate]

I find this seam binding in particular grabs the ink the best. I have tried with other ribbons. The result is not as good. The ink likes the more porous text of that 'seam binding'. But for sure try it on other fabrics and see what you like. Thank you for watching.

[@robinvogelsang5535]

Wow, who knew?!! Thank you Trina for asking this question!! Here I’ve been trying to collect all the hues of ribbon and I could have just made my own!!🤦‍♀️ Love, love, love, this❤️😃. And we get to be messy!👏. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this!💞
