Great Grosgrain!

Recently a dear blogging friend inquired about where I purchased my grosgrain ribbon as liked the quality and color. Well, I used to buy from a seller on eBay, but after having a few set backs with them I decided I had to stick with Amazon. I bought two fifty yard rolls of ribbon from a store, BB Crafts, on Amazon last Spring and have found that the quality is amazing. The ribbon is easy to tie and it looks great on packages so I thought I must let you in it! About a month ago I discovered that BB Crafts has a huge website where they offer loads more ribbon then in their Amazon store. The site is easy to navigate, filled with lots of stylish options and most importantly the prices still cannot be beat (all prices noted below are for my favorite size 1 1/2)!
The colorful stripe collection is the smallest of all the grosgrain offerings, but you can still find some fun ones. PYou cannot beat getting 25 yards for just $9.99.
I just adore polka dots! You can mix polka dot ribbon with all types of wrapping and create your signature look. Pick of 50 yards for $19.99 today or check out the ten yard rolls if you do not need that much!

I know a lot of us LOVE our pink and green (there are loads of other color combinations those that do not!) and we can buy 25 yards for just $9.99!


You have to love the stripes! The zebra stripes are only $5.50 for 25 yards; what a steal! There are tons of solids to choose from, but of course the pinks always seem to call my name. You can get a 50 yard roll in your color of choice for $9.99!
BB Crafts offers loads of other ribbons types as well. Shipping is a mere $5.95 for your order so next time you are in the market be sure to check them out!

Oooo, I love ribbon! Does it have the wire in it to make bows on presents? That is a key factor for me.

Great tip. I am about out of all the ribbon that I had left over when I closed my store 2 years ago. This looks like a great retail source to get more. It is so hard to pay retail after being in business all those years.

Ya wanna know a ribbon secret?
There are many of us who are in groups that buy ribbon wholesale, directly from China.
Sometimes they even make custom orders for us like Damask.
The first group I will list is ribbon only.
The second one does other things too like market totes and ALL sorts of things. Too many to list.
I thought you ribbon lovers might want to join the fun.
Once you buy ribbon this way, cheap on spools, you don't go back.
We even buy acrylic items like coffee mugs or sports drink bottles where you insert your favorite scrapbook paper.

I make NO $ by sharing this with you all.
I just feel like sharing the little secret !
