10 Ribbons per Guest! 3 Ways to Create a Large Quantity of Ribbons for Your Ribbon Shower＊

We will do a ribbon shower performance at the ceremony ♡

The ribbon shower is a popular performance after the ceremony ♡

There are various types of showers like flower showers and star showers,

but among these, the ribbon shower has the charm of creating a feminine and cute atmosphere＊

It's also great that it blends naturally when mixed with other types of showers without being too overpowering ♡

We have to mass-produce ribbons!

Once you've decided to do a ribbon shower, what you need to do is mass-produce ribbons＊

Typically, it’s calculated to prepare about 10 ribbons per person ♡

Therefore, if you have 30 guests at your ceremony, you'll need over 300 ribbons, and for 50 guests, you'll need over 500 ribbons!

Considering that, it might seem like a lot of work, but brides everywhere are diligently DIY-ing to make their ribbon showers a success ♩

In this article, we will introduce 3 methods for making ribbons＊

How to make ribbons① Tie them yourself

First, I will introduce how to tie ribbons by hand without using any tools＊ (Please see the images clockwise starting from the top left!)

Step 1＊ Hold the ribbon in your right hand as shown in the top left diagram.

Step 2＊ Wrap it around to the back and hold it between your right hand’s index and middle fingers (mid-top).

Step 3＊ Bring it back around to the front (top right).

Step 4＊ Take the ribbon from step 2 to the back and pass it through the loop where your index finger is (bottom left).

Step 5＊ Pull the ribbon from step 4 and the original ribbon together to adjust the length.

Step 6＊ Once you've adjusted the length and shape, cut the ends of the ribbon diagonally with scissors.

How to make ribbons② Use a divider board

Next, I will introduce how to use a divider board (cut into 4 pieces) that you can buy at a 100 yen shop to make ribbons＊

Step 1＊ Hook the ribbon around the divider board (making sure that the starting part of the ribbon is at the bottom right).

Step 2＊ Pass the end of the ribbon through the middle of the divider board (be careful not to twist the ribbon).

Step 3＊ Pass the longer end of the ribbon through the middle of the divider board, and once it’s through, tighten it.

Step 4＊ Flip the divider board over and tie the two ribbons together.

Step 5＊ Adjust the length of the ends, cut them, and then remove them from the divider board to complete!

I think watching a video will help you grasp the technique better, so please check it out♩

How to make ribbons③ Purchase them

Finally, I’ll introduce an idea recommended for brides who are short on time＊

Instead of making the ribbons yourself, you can purchase pre-made ribbons ◎

They are available on sites like Amazon, Rakuten, Minne, and Creema, so feel free to choose ribbons in your favorite colors and materials♩

➡Check out a pack of 300 ribbons on Amazon＊

By the way, here's how to finish them off＊

By the way, it's also an important step to process the ribbons after DIY-ing them to prevent fraying＊

The easiest way to do this is shown in this video.

Simply bring the end of the ribbon close to a candle and melt it a little to complete the finishing process♩

Organza ribbons are particularly prone to fraying, so be sure to try it out♡
