Sewing Instructions for Ribbon Corners
Ribbon corners provide the perfect way to highlight a photo while protecting its delicate edges in a scrapbooking project. Made from scraps of old ribbon or odds and ends of material, they are inexpensive, yet they can be tailor-made for each photograph and add a charming homemade touch to your scrapbook pages. Ribbon corners can even be used to highlight other items in your scrapbook such as note areas, fabric swatches and illustrations.
