In a world of rushed text messages and e-cards, sending your own hand-made Christmas cards can be a thoughtful alternative. And there are many ways to use ribbons to create fun and colourful cards. We used four different types of ribbon for this card, but you could quite easily get away with two or three.

For this bauble display, we filled the baubles with patterned, Christmas ribbons and tied a ribbon bow around the outside for the finishing touch. You can hang these on your Christmas tree or use as a display like this one for a table or decorative piece.
