In the early modern period, textiles, with intricate tapestries being highly esteemed, played a vital role in interior decoration. Made from a variety of materials such as wool, silk, cotton, and linen, as well as colorful flat weaves, velvets, brocades, and damasks, these textile fabrics adorned walls, floors, and furniture. While historical textile pieces were relatively scarce due to wear and delicacy, they still hold significant historical value.
The history of costumes intertwined with textiles explores clothing development and ornamentation techniques, particularly emphasizing women’s dresses from the eighteenth century onwards. Successful creators share a common trait - they seek fresh materials to inspire their work, drawing inspiration from innovative sources to push their creativity further.
Radically innovative decoration requires equally inventive sources. Don’t feel guilty for keeping your eyes and ears open to what other creatives are doing, especially if it’s work they are most proud of: these works have the potential to take your decorations to places it’s never been before!
Ribbons, both in rolls and bows, are versatile in numerous creative and decorative applications.
They are perfect embellishments for:
The floral industry wouldn’t be the same without ribbons for wrapping flower bouquets. It’s important to remember that all ribbons are used for weddings, birthdays, and many special celebrations. In short, ribbons are used almost everywhere for decoration.
Decorative ribbons have existed since the Middle Ages, when traders traveled across Europe, carrying extravagant ribbons from the East, some woven with gold and silver, while others were made of silk and other fine materials. Throughout history, ribbons were seen as symbols of nobility and were worn exclusively by the upper class. By the seventeenth century, ribbons had infiltrated the fashion industry, and both men’s and women’s clothing were adorned with ribbons in various forms.
Today, the ribbon industry has expanded beyond fabrics and encompasses a variety of materials ranging from synthetic and natural fibers to satisfy many applications.
But if you want to create something extraordinary, don’t let the traditional ribbon bows and rolls stop your artistic imagination! In fact, in our Decoration Materials category, you can discover a huge palette of other decorative materials that can be cut and shaped into a stylish ribbon bow.
A key aspect of ribbons that helps differentiate them is the variety of finishes or edges available:
The choice of ribbon type and texture greatly influences its suitability for specific purposes. Below, we detail some popular textures and types of ribbons along with their recommended uses.
The final key element to know when choosing ribbons is the width of the ribbon. Ribbons come in multiple widths from 2 mm to 200 mm!
In understanding ribbon edges, consider two common types: cut-edge and woven-edge. Cut-edge ribbons are simply trimmed across, which can lead to fraying over time. To mitigate this, it’s helpful to cut these ribbons at an angle. Woven-edge ribbons, on the other hand, have edges that are neatly woven, running along the borders but not extending to the sides. This woven finish prevents fraying and enhances the ribbon’s durability and appearance. Choosing between these types depends on your need for durability and the look you want to achieve in your projects.
Initially made from cotton with an open, plain weave and very fine, tightly twisted single yarns. Now these ribbons are mostly made from polyester or nylon. This delicate-looking ribbon is ideal for wrapping favors or party gifts and has a strong presence at weddings and other festive events.
Satin ribbons made from polyester or nylon are some of the most versatile ribbons. It is the cheaper alternative to silk ribbons and looks almost identical. This type of ribbon can be found as single-faced satin (smooth and shiny on only one side) and double-faced satin (smooth and shiny on both sides).
Satin ribbons are very popular as hair accessories and for gift wrapping. They are classically used for all forms of wedding decoration. Double-sided or double-faced satin ribbons (satin feel on both sides) are the perfect embellishment for wedding cards. Satin ribbon is perfectly adaptable and ideal for printing logos or text, producing the clearest print.
What is felting? One of the oldest forms of textile art, felting involves matting, condensing, and pressing wool fibers. While store-bought sheets of felt fabric are made using hot water, needle felting mimics the same process but instead is done using a felting needle.
The technique involves moving the felt fibers back and forth using the numerous sharp barbs on the needle, pulling the fibers and fixing them in place. Almost any shape can be formed from felt - the only limit is your imagination!
Felt usually consists of wool or other natural raw fibers, which typically produce the highest quality but the softest fabric. Wool also felts very easily, making it ideal for this fuzzy fabric. However, adding synthetic fibers to the mix (like polyester or acrylic) can enhance the product depending on its intended use.
Adding a percentage of synthetic fibers can increase the durability of felts for certain crafts or industrial use, and can also increase flexibility. A frequently added fiber to wool is artificial silk, which when added removes the prickly sensation that pure wool can often have on the skin. This means that the synthetic mix is the best of both worlds!
As mentioned, the process of creating felt can be quite labor-intensive, involving various steps of mixing the fibers, matting the material, shrinking, and pressing with steam. The clearest method, however, is simply applying heat and moisture, which causes the fiber blend to fuse and mix together.
You can even do this yourself at home on any woolen or knitted items - place it in the washing machine for a process known as "felting" or "fulling" - the same thing that happens when you accidentally shrink that wool jumper!
To enhance the contrast and visual depth of your home interior, consider incorporating natural materials. They are the secret ingredient that every room needs to create a dynamic space that doesn’t fall flat, both literally and figuratively.
Natural materials add beautiful texture to your space. But that’s not the only reason to love natural elements! They are also extremely versatile, complimenting modern, grand spaces as well as mid-century interior designs with equal grace.
This trend complements homes of any style! Historically, the use of natural materials has been a global phenomenon and continues to enjoy widespread popularity. Decorating with elements from nature is truly timeless. Thus, even when natural materials aren’t at the peak of current trends, they will still imbue your home with a look that is both classic and contemporary. Are you drawn to materials with enduring appeal?

You can glue or tape the ends down, tie the ribbon or string around the card, or thread it through a small punched hole. Decorative materials from EM ART will elevate your card, making it feel more personal and handcrafted.
Enhance your card with flowers. Adding flowers or flower petals can elevate your greeting card. For a cheerful touch, glue a flat sunflower to one of the pages. For a romantic gesture, place fragrant petals inside the card so they release a pleasant aroma when opened. Opt for artificial flowers to ensure they last and preserve the card’s beauty over time.
