<p>The crinkle ribbon I made with seam-binding and spray ink, The black has a cool shimmer because I used my homemade glimmer mist on it. <span style="color:#800080;">Tip-If you are in a hurry when making crinkled ribbon use your heat gun to dry it, it makes it crinkle more in fact!</span> Thanks to Cheryl for the glimmer mist on black tip!</p>
