Whenever I get a gift that has a ribbon as part of the packaging, I always save the ribbon. There are tons of pretty types and widths of ribbons out there and they come in a pretty array of colors. Satin, silk, velvet, lace, and chiffon ribbons, just to name a few, all make wonderful ribbon jewelry!

All you need is your desired length of ribbon, two crimp end pieces, a clasp, and your tools. You can attach crystals or string a pendant onto your ribbon before crimping the end pieces and adding the clasp. Or you can embellish the length of it using bead embroidery with your favorite beads and some gold or silver metallic thread. You can also just wear the ribbon, plain or embellished, around your neck and secure with a jaunty bow at the side of your neck.
