This is what my ribbon stash looks like, one big mess and a lot of it. This is not a blog about organizing ribbon because organization is not one of my strong suits. This is about a technique to color your ribbon to match your project therefore ending your need to buy random ribbon just in case,
You will need:
Distress Reinkers (I used Broken China)t
Perfect Pearls (I used Cappuccino)
Water
Craft Sheet
White, ivory or cream colored ribbon or flowers
Because I used the Broken China and the Cappuccino my ribbon is blue with a hint of brown shimmer.
1 - Decide what colors you want to use.
2 - Take a small scoop of Perfect Pearl and put it into the Mini Mister.
3 - Add a FULL dropper full of Distress Reinker.
4 - Add water but not to the top (you will have to have room to be able to shake the mixture) Shake.
5 - Make sure you have your craft sheet under whatever you are spraying. Spray your ribbon or whatever you are coloring.
6 - Let dry naturally. I don't recommend using a heat gun, you might start a fire or melt your ribbon.
7 - Use in project.
The color combinations are endless. Have fun.
