Velvet-Ribbon Belts

Velvet-Ribbon Belts

Add a luxurious touch to any winter outfit with a belt of velvet ribbon. Cut 2 1/2 yards of natural-fiber velvet ribbon. Slip two D rings slightly wider than the ribbon onto one end, and fold both ends of the ribbon in toward the midpoint, fuzzy side out, keeping the D rings at one folded end. Remove backing from a 1 1/4-yard piece of iron-on fuse tape, and sandwich it between the layers; place scrap velvet facedown on top, and iron on the cotton setting to fuse the layers.

My comments:

Though I don't like this, they can be used as magazine holders. Also look up magazine and book holder ribbons. They hang down with many loops in which the magazines can be inserted.
