1″ SHEER RIBBON
I am offering the popular 1″ May Arts Sheer Ribbon BY THE SPOOL! And that’s a lot of sheer — there are 100 yards on a spool. So, why am I offering it this way? Well, a few reasons. #1) I always prefer to purchase my own ribbon on a spool for convenience sake. It keeps better, it’s easier to grab and cut off what you need, and you don’t usually run out, allowing you to be generous with your ribbon usage. #2) By selling it by the spool I am able to offer you a better price so you get more for your money. Keep it all for yourself, or share with a friend. This sheer ribbon is some of my very favorite ribbon to keep on hand as a staple! Because it has no bound edging, it ties easily and fluffs up into gorgeous bows. It travels well in an envelope as it easily squishes flat and readily bounces back to life when taken out. It is also fabulous for wrapping a beautiful package!!!
1″ Sheer is $ .50/yard or $32.00 for a 100 yard spool
Lavender, Celery, Apricot, Seafoam, Pink
Dark Gold, Blue/Purple, Watermelon, Dark Olive, Light Blue
Navy, Hot Pink, Silvery Blue, Violet, Gray Blue
Black, White, Red, Ivory, Brown
If you have any comments, suggestions, or special requests, I’d love to hear them. This sheer ribbon is available in many more colors and in a huge variety of widths. I am happy to special order whatever you need. Please email me at ssj@up.net.

100% SILK RIBBON
When this order of 100% silk ribbon arrived, I guess you could say (in the world of ribbon) I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!! Words can not describe this luscious ribbon — it is so light weight and soft to the hand, you can barely feel it running between your fingers. It is as light and soft as a feather, in beautiful Easter Egg shades. It represents sheer elegance!
100% silk is a natural fiber with many characteristics that make it an absolutely perfect fiber for ribbon. This silk ribbon has a slight natural wrinkle to it and the occasional irregularity in weave, common to natural silk, only adding to its luxuriousness. Silk is naturally very flexible and elastic, meaning when stretched and pulled it will return to its previous shape and size. This is one of the reasons this silk ribbon is so very easy to work with for us as crafters. Silk ribbon also falls naturally and hangs beautifully, is almost weightless and even large bows flatten beautifully for insertion into an envelope. Silk ribbon, though delivering a HUGE WOW! factor, adds very little to the card in terms of bulk and weight. Truly, the most perfect ribbon I have ever worked with!!!
100% Silk Ribbon available by the yard or spool in 23 colors shown below.
1.25″ Silk is $1.50/yard or $44.00 for a 32.82 yard spool
1/4″ Silk is $ .75/yard or $24.00 for a 54.68 yard spool
Celery, Lavender, Pink, Yellow, Blue
Sapphire, Fuchsia, Antique Gold, Burgundy, Violet
Black, White, Olive, Ivory, Taupe
NEW COLORS ADDED FOR AUTUMN AND WINTER (1.25″ and 1/4″widths)
Rust, Moss, Buttery Gold, Mauve, Christmas Green, True Red
Two colors added 10/05/09 (1.25″ and 1/4″) - Champagne and Rose
My apologies — in real life the Rose is not nearly this bright as my monitor shows — it is much more of a dull Rose color. The Champagne is accurate.
1/8″ Silk Ribbon by the Box or Spool
Box (25 yds) - $9.95 or Spool (200 yds) - $52.00
From Top - Left to Right: White, Black, Sapphire, Red, Violet, Antique Gold

STRIPED RIBBON

These beautiful striped grosgrainribbons are 1.5″ wide and 3/8″ wide. I am so excited at the thought of having both wide and narrow ribbons to match! The wide ribbon is super for tying onto packages to make a big impression, and how fun to have a narrow coordinate to use on a tag or card!!! I LOVE wide ribbon and routinely use the wide ribbon on cards as well. The wide ribbon feels like a soft grosgrain, and the narrow ribbon is super soft and workable, actually feeling more silky than a typical grosgrain. I have this ribbon in the 13 colors shown below.
Pink/white, Celery/white, Pink/brown, Light Blue/white
1.5″ Wide - $1.00/yard or $24 for a 30 yard spool

STRINGS and CORDS
I love to use strings and cords on cards with either a masculine or natural theme. My supply had dwindled down to next to nothing, and when 2 of you asked on the same day about string for buttons, I knew it was time to order some. The string and cording is 100% Jute and has a very natural, earthy look to it, which is just what I wanted! This string is perfect for easily threading through button holes!!!
100% Jute String is available in a 20 yard bundle or by the spool
A 10 yard bundle is $1.00 or 1 spool of 400 yards is $14.00
Starting top left: Ivory, Olive, Pink, Natural
Navy, Red, Green, Purple and Black on bottom, also Dark Brown, not shown
___________
100% Jute 1/8″ Cording is available in a 3 yard bundle or by the spool

Holiday Twisted Rope - 1/16″
5 yards for $1.50 OR 1 Spool of 100 yards for $20.00
This twisted rope is SUPER soft and pliable. Can’t you just see this on Christmas and Valentine projects? Fun!!! I will tell you, it untwists/ravels very quickly and easily when cut, so you must either tie off the ends or wrap with tape and then cut. You may request cuts longer than 5 yards, but not shorter.
______________________________
Elastic Cord - 1/16″
5 yards for $1.75 OR $26.00 for a 100 yard spool
(A spool requires extra shipping charges as it’s very heavy.)
Silver, White, Deep Gold
At 1/16″ inch this is a heavy elastic cording. I purchased this to use as wrapping on gift packaging. I think it’ll work GREAT. You may request cuts longer than 5 yards, but not shorter.

JOURNAL NOTES
I’ve recently fallen in love with these darling little pads byCrafty Secrets called Journal Notes. These pads contain PERFECT little images for those times you want to make a quick card, yet have striking results! The vintage images are truly gorgeous. Each of the 8 pads follows a theme. The pads are 3″ x 8″ and have 32 pages. A portion of each page is the image and a portion is lined, either for journaling or to use on a card, perhaps as a coordinated background or accent to the image, or you could get 2 separate uses out of each page — many options. Another idea is to use these as little list or notepads. You’d want to be adding to your To Do List or Grocery List when using a pad so pretty! GREAT for just a little gift for a friend!
Journal Notes Available in 8 Different Themes - $6.95 each
#1 Birds & Botanicals, #2 Childhood, #3 Homemade, #4 Summertime
#5 Little Dolls, #6 Girlfriends, #7 Halloween, #8 Christmas

Holy smokes, Sharon! That’s quite a selection of yummy ribbon. You must be prescient because just last week I was admiring your wide plaid ribbons and wondered where I might find some - and much to my delight, you’ve got them all right here! I love it!
Do you offer baggies of each kind of ribbon?? Would be too much ribbon for me to order a spool!!

I received the brown striped ribbon and the silver cording. Thanks so much!

Love the ribbon, love your blog, I’ll have to sit down and figure out what I want. I was so glad to see your pricing included sending to Canada. It’s make it easier for me to figure it out.
Debra
I love, love, love #11, Flowers. I also love all of your creations
The ribbon is just beautiful too!

These Cotton Scraps take me back to when I was a little girl living in Scotland. How on a Saturday morning I would get my pocket money and go to the local newsagents and buy what we called then Swaps. I loved collecting them, we only ended up living in Scotland for two years but I have very happy memories. I love your cards and ribbons they are all so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your creations with us all.
Hey Sharon! It’s me again! How are you?
I have a question about the May Arts 1.5″ striped ribbon. I ordered the red/ivory hoping it was similar the striped ribbon SU carried in the winter mini last fall, but it’s more of a bright red and ivory stripe. Is the Burgundy/ivory more of a match to the SU striped ribbon from last fall?
If so, I’d love to order a spool of it. Also, if they have that striped cording in stock, that would be great too!
Let me know, thanks!
Vera Matson
Would love to purchase the ‘Bow Easy’…..how do I do that? Do you like Paypal or I could send you the money.
Please email me when you have time.
Thank you,
Jenny Loew-Barstad
I love the look of the silk ribbon. If you ever get it in the 5/8″ size, I will be all over it! LOL I use the 5/8″ ribbon on most everything I do. It all looks scrumptious though!
