Hi there....help needed...:D

Hi there,

i'm looking to see if anyone sells adhesive ribbon - preferably baby one's both blue & pink. Have looked on feebay and some sellers are charging ridiculous amounts so am after a good deal

Any help and/or advice would be most appreciated. xx

I think your best way to do that is to buy some double sided sticky tape and do it yourself. Much cheaper and that is how I do my cards.
You can get thin double sided tape if your ribbon is thin.

Thank you cherylgrey for your reply, it was very much appreciated.

Didn't think of making them up myself lol. Am off to check out that idea hehe. xx

Thanks again xx

Hope it worked for you. Let me know how you got on. Glad to have been some help

Not sure if many people supply that. I'd go for the double sided tape thing too. Just make sure you don't do what I did and get BLUE tape so it turned our sinage funny colours.

Hi,

I use an xyron sticker maker when I need to stick small size ribbon. You can put several pieces inside the machine and crank it out and it works wonderfully. I use the repositional tape cartridges so I can move it if I don't get it straight the first time. It's a real lifesaver when I scrap.

Hi there all,

Well there's certainly a nice LOT of ribbon choices here on ebid pages and pages......it's taken me most of the afternoon to sift through hehe. Just gotta make up my mind which type/length/width/colour i want.....mmmmm...will let you know how i get on making them up myself cherylgrey Actually, i do have some left over general pieces of ribbon around somewhere....i might try using that first

Waterlily, i'll stay away from all types of coloured tape lol...thanks for the hint hehe.

I've never heard of the xyron sticker maker...that's a new one to me....will check it out though as you never know!!!

I do sell some adhesive ribbons though at the moment I am currently stocking christmas and laura ashley designs...The only things I have that come close to pink and blues at the mo' are the Rose Tinted & Winter Wonderland themes. These are highly detailed but have a christmas slant as aforementioned.

I also go for the double-sided tape and glue tape approach in my own handmade cards if I don't fancy delving in to my adhesive ribbon stock. Depending on the fabric and width, you don't neccessarily have to run tape across the entire length of the ribbon. Usually the ends (which helps against fraying) and the odd glue strip in the middle is enough as long as your ribbon is fixed taut!

Hope I'm lucky enough to have you browsing through my store and here's a nice warm welcome to eBid!
