Aside from collecting papers, I also like ribbons—all kinds of ribbons!

I bought this gold ribbon from JR Fabric in New Farmers Plaza for the simple reason that I thought it looked pretty and I might eventually find some use for it. I was buying silver ribbons at that time for the home-made invitations my sister and I were making for my wedding, but the gold one just looked so pretty.

I’ve actually already made use of this gold ribbon already: prettying up gifts to friends and relatives, as well as decorating our home for Christmas.

A roll costs about Php250 (that’s about US$6) last year when I bought it. It might be cheaper in Divisoria though, but I haven’t really looked there yet.

If you’d like to know where I got my ribbons, here’s the contact info of the shop where I bought it:

JR Fabric
New Farmers Plaza Upper Ground Level
Araneta Center
Cubao, Quezon City

Here’s a cool way to spice up your wedding stuff:

I used these personalized ribbons for a previous wedding invitations client. You can have them made in Divisoria (sorry, I already forgot the name of the store) at around $6 per roll. The price varies depending on the type and size of ribbon that you want.

Thing is, you’ll have to get at least five rolls since they’ll be custom-made. Well, you can always use the ribbons for decorating gifts if you can’t use all five rolls right?
