All Stripes!

We've got some new stripy ribbons in the shop this week.....pretty diagonal striped ribbon from May Arts.  This ribbon is just 4mm wide, ideal for adding to tags and cards, as well as tiny bows on gifts and altered projects.


We are currently stocking red, light blue, pink and lime green and will be getting new colours in a few weeks.

Another gorgeous and fun item we have recently added to the shop are the super cute striped 'Little Bitty Bags'.  They work well with the new diagonal stripe ribbons, as well as our popular Divine Bakers Twine.


As always, if you have any feedback on our new products, we'd love to hear from you so leave us a comment!

Pearls & Pins

We absolutely love all things ribbon related and enjoy sourcing new products to add to our shop.  Whilst browsing for those goodies, we come across other beautiful products that compliment our ribbons which include paper pads, flowers, buttons and much more. 

We're excited to have recently found a new supplier of pearl pins.  These 3 pearl pins look beautiful added to projects behind ribbon bows and flowers.  We have chosen colours that we hope will suit most crafters......


If you're looking to add that something special to your projects, we highly recommend these self adhesive pearls.  We have several colours and sizes in stock, perfect for wedding and vintage crafts.



We love these cute candy stripe buttons and just had to share them with you.  At just 12mm wide, they are great for most craft projects.  Available singular so you can purchase just want you need in the colours you need.


We love the projects that you share with us, so if you have made something using our products and would like us to showcase them on our blog, then email us at mail@theribbonreel.co.uk. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Beautiful Blooms

After a lot of thought, we finally decided to stock a few Prima Marketing items including these gorgeous fabric flowers. We've started with a small selection but hope to expand on these in the next few months. There were just far too many to chose from so if any of our lovely customers were after a particular flower, just let us know and we can order them in.

Not only do these flowers look beautiful on cards, scrapbook layouts but also look fabulous on altered projects. I've recently created a beautiful headband by simply sticking a few of the Prima flowers pictured above directly on to a fabric headband. I've not had time to take photos yet but will share them when I do.

If you've created something beautiful with these flowers and would like to share, pop us a photo and we'll share on our blog.
