So, you want to learn how to make cheer ribbon?


Here is the way that I do it. Mind you, its not the easiest ribbon to make.. You have to make sure everything is perfectly aligned and cut. Ready to get started?

Materials you will need:

  • Grosgrain Ribbon: width and length of your choice
  • Heat N Bond Ultra Hold
  • Sequin Fabric
  • Iron
  • Scissors or Rotary Cutter
  1. First you will need to cut your ribbon to size. I used 1 1/2″ grosgrain ribbon in my sample.
  2. Cut your sequin Ribbon about 1 1/4″. This leaves about an 1/8″ less sequin fabric on each side of the grosgrain ribbon.
  3. Cut your Heat N Bond the same length and width of your sequin fabric.
  4. Use your iron to press the Heat N Bond to the Grosgrain ribbon. Then place your sequin fabric on top of the grosgrain ribbon and press and lift. DO NOT SLIDE THE IRON!!.. Dont leave the iron on the sequin fabric to long.. I left it for a couple of seconds.
  5. Cut your v-cuts at this point and seal with a lighter.

This is the outcome:

Then just fold your bow into shape:

    So you just bought sequin fabric (not ribbon) and cut it to size for the bow? If so, how did you get it so straight?
