Curling Organdy Ribbon

[mommyof2]

I've seen in the Gallery that the heat tool is used to curl ribbon. How do you do this? It's beautiful, but I'm afraid of burning down the house before I hear from y'all. :rolleyes:

Thanks for any input.

Found a description of this on DIY network. BUT, I have a question... Does it actually curl the ribbon around into loops? Or does it curl the edges making it look "antique?"
From what the instructions say -- cut a piece of ribbon 5 " and hold in the middle" -- I would be afraid of buring my fingers!!

I do this A LOT!! LOL It makes the ribbon (organdy) look vintagey!!

I tie the organdy in a knot onto my card. then I heat my heat tool and swipe it over the ribbon to heat it, but not to close cuz it WILL disinigrate your ribbon if its too close (read: HOT)Swipe heat tool back and forth till you see the ribbon tails start to shrinkle and wrinkle. I love the look! I have some in my Gallery, 3rd page with In Full Bloom sets. red ,blue and orange cards .
Have fun but practice some first.
