Creating A Picture Ribbon Board (O'Connor)

These instructions offer a simple, step by step guideline on how to create your own picture ribbon board. Picture ribbon boards are commonly used to display pictures, but can also be used to display greeting cards, ticket stubs, little posters, or a combination of everything into a collage. Picture ribbon boards can be hung on a wall or set up on a table. They can also be designed in a variety of ways. The fabric and ribbon you choose is up to you. The different combinations can be based off of your school colors, favorite sports team, or to match present decor in a room. Creating your picture ribbon board will take you approximately an hour and materials should be purchased or gathered ahead of time. You don't need technical ability to complete this project, just creativity. In a short while, the picture ribbon board will be completed, and you will have a creative picture holder to display your pictures.
