5. Tips for decorating with fabric ribbons
Choose the width of the fabric ribbon appropriate to the size of the garment. Remember that less is more.
Don’t limit yourself to a single color. The sweatshirt will be much more fun if you combine two colors with the base color or work with different shades of the same color. If you’re not sure, ask for advice at your haberdashery.
Always choose quality fabric ribbons for customizing clothes. You will avoid the dreaded fading or the ribbons getting damaged after the first wash. At Manubens, we guarantee that with our ribbons, you won’t have these setbacks that can ruin a garment.
