Decorating Clothing with Ribbon

Here's a quick, cheap and easy way to jazz up some underwear or add a touch of class to a top.

Equipment:

• thread
• ribbon
• scissors
• nail varnish
• clothing to decorate

Instructions:

2. At each corner, attach the ribbon to the fabric with small stitches, and tie the thread off neatly and strongly at the back.
3. Tie the tails at the bottom into a bow and sew into place./li>

4. Cut both ends of ribbon diagonally to a pleasing length and prevent fraying by dabbing a little clear nail varnish onto them. You could fashion small bows out of ribbon and sew them onto other places as well.
