It's September 2019. Pinned your tutorial a long time ago and finally watched it - should have done it way sooner! Thanks for the clear way of showing how to do it!

Thank you Margaret! In art world, 5 years is *nothing* goes by like a flash :-D

For the anonymous person who decided to complain about the post, that it doesn't have clear enough "step by step" photos and instructions for you, you might want to take note that it was a labor of love given freely to my readers. If you want something more detailed and better, please feel free to buy yourself a book or watch some YouTube videos that have become much more available since 2014 when I wrote this post. How brave of you to complain anonymously.

Hi and thank you for this beautifully creative way with ribbons. Question: the leaf, does the ribbon come pre-crimped? I've never seen this before and the leaf is spectacular!!!

Cyndi L said...

Hi Leslie! Yes!! You can crimp it yourself I suppose, if you are really really patient (I'm not). Search on pleated shibori silk ribbon on Etsy or just in google, and you'll find sellers of all sorts of gorgeousness :-)
