What to do with ribbons?!

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.

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 .

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

How about this? A ribbon covered lampshade.

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.
