Ever wonder where we find all the fantastic ribbon used in our ribbon wreaths? Here are the seven shops we love and recommend when it comes to buying the best ribbon for wreaths!
Hey y’all…everyone loved our wreath making tools post so much that we wanted to share more great wreath-making insider tips with you. Lots of you ask us where we buy the best ribbon for wreaths.
I get it.
It can be overwhelming to shop for ribbon online when you can’t inspect and feel the ribbon yourself. Can you trust them? Will the ribbon arrive feeling and looking cheap? Well, we know a thing or two about buying lots (and lots!) of ribbon.
In fact, since wreaths are what we create, we are pretty particular about which ribbon we personally use (and recommend).
In this post, we’ll let you in on our secret stashes and share where we buy our ribbon for wreaths.
Where To Find The Best Ribbon For Wreaths
When you’re making a wreath, the type of ribbon you use matters. You want something that will hold its shape and has vibrant, eye-catching colors and prints.
You also need wired ribbon in long lengths that you can cut down to size. You’ll be using a LOT of it as you make handmade bows for your wreaths.
When you’re looking for some wreath ribbon online, just refer to this list. We shop at just a select few places online!
All of these online shops have amazing customer service, sell high-quality, affordable ribbons, and carry unique colors and prints.
The Best Cheap Ribbon
First, an important note about pricing. If the ribbon on these sites is cheap ribbon, that doesn’t mean it feels cheap or will fall apart. It just means it’s a low price and you’ll save money.
Believe me, I only recommend the very best. 😉
There are plenty of inexpensive ribbons out there that we wouldn’t even consider recommending, and the same can be said about a lot of higher price-point ones.
While I don’t want to spend ridiculous prices on ribbon for wreaths (remember, we use a LOT), the cost doesn’t matter as much to me, as long as the product is excellent. You’re likely to see a good variety of costs within these shops so that you can choose what works for you and your own budget.
