did you buy the ribbon online? if so can i have the link

[@paulaxiong5930]

Where did you buy the ribbon at?

[@KpopM2]

Do you do 2-3 sections like this and connect them or use 1 long ribbon altogether? The one i see at Hobby Lobby is only 5 yards so they arent long enough. Thank you for this!!

[@ClassyCheapskate]

I use one long ribbon. You can tape them together before starting or during if that is the only length you can get. I think that would be helpful.

[@cristlewaters3]

what would be an alternative to stapling it at the beginning? my polyester ribbon is too tough for a staple to go through

[@ClassyCheapskate]

Hot Glue

[@sophiahuynh9255]

For a lei would it be continuous or would it be in parts because there is a curved edge?

[@ClassyCheapskate]

continuous - it bends well...

[@W11Kiddoz]

I love your videos! How much ribbon is needed to make the Lei long enough?

[@ClassyCheapskate]

I use 4 to 5 times the length I desire the lei to be....

[@bepamprd]

@@ClassyCheapskate how do you find ribbon that long? Or are you connecting ribbon together

[@debonisasarab5567]

Can you do this with regular fabric ribbon? and what kind would you recommend using. Thanks

[@ClassyCheapskate]

It should be stiff fabric ribbon. If it's not, you could starch it. You would need to lay it flat, spray it with starch, let it dry, and possibly do it again. It might be worth it to try to find stiff ribbon to begin with. Thanks for watching. :)

Can you use fabric ribbon for this? Thank you so much!

[@ClassyCheapskate]

Yes, the stiffer, the better

[@hellorachelhc]

Would this work well with satin or other ribbons that are not gift ribbon?

[@ClassyCheapskate]

Double faced satin is softer and more flexible. Single faced satin would work better.

[@kimcrawford7256]

What kind of ribbon is that?

[@ClassyCheapskate]

gift ribbon

[@BelezaJcole]

Where did you purchase your ribbon?

[@ClassyCheapskate]

[@julimarcorpuz6577]

Hello. How thick is the ribbon?

[@ClassyCheapskate]

1/2" to 3/4" from my memory....
