You can make a door wreath with ribbons.

Your local Rainbows/Brownies/ Girlguides might like to have your ribbons for crafts. They are not so craft-focused as they were but the groups in the village happily accepted my donation of craft materials recently.

How about log cabin or scrappy cushions? You could blend ribbons with fabric scraps.

I like this idea. Hope you find a project for the ribbons eddiecat

How about this? A ribbon covered lampshade.

Have a look on YouTube.

You could make ribbon flowers or even incorporate them into an embroidery.
Have a you a dress or a cardigan which could do with embellishing ?
I've disguised some stains and holes in favourite clothes .

I also have a large collection. I wondered about laying them (glueing?) on a board or canvas in a sort of colourful patchwork effect. I can see in my mind’s eye what I mean, but it’s hard to describe.

I have a bagful of ribbons saved for years "in case I needed one". I have far too many!
Any ideas for anything I could make with them? They are all different widths, textures and colours and most are not particularly long.
