Anybody know this technique? Can it possibly be a simple at it seems?(like, just heat organdy ribbon til it crinkles?!) I found a reference to it in the gallery but can't find anything when I search. Thanks.
Another thing you can do with organdy ribbon is sew a basting stitch down the middle, then gather so it is all puckered. Then, drop it in a pot of boiling water. Remove it and take out the stitching, and the ribbon will stay bunchy and crinkly.

WOW! Now how cool is that!? .....and to wonder who knew to try this in the first place!!! ;)
TFS~
Cool idea for sure! I did something similar with SU! stitched ribbon.. I pulled the stitching and gathered it.. then sprayed it with spray starch (oh yeah, I still use the stuff~ uniforms, ya know?)... let it dry and voila! Haven't used it on a card or anything yet, but it sure looks cool!
I have taken gros grain ribbon, cut off one salvage edge, and frayed it. You can use it as multiple strings and the left over as eyelash fiber. Then I played with the multiple strings and "fuzzed" it and that was pretty cool.
You gals are amazing with the things you come up with in the name of our hobby. I can't imagine being the pioneer who said, let me do this stitch and then boil my ribbon and see how it comes out. I am definitely a follower. Thanks for being so willing to share.
The coolest part of this whole string is that to come up with a lot of the stamping ideas makes one wonder how they did it! Shaving Cream? Sandpaper?
Boiling Ribbon? This is indeed one cool site!
Heated Ribbon
Whooda thunk?
