From those ribbons, I designed a few more awareness ribbons with the
same process as the Red, white and blue ribbons. A few are listed below, and others will be added as we acquire
the cloth and ribbon needed to create them.
A little about the ribbons themselves...
These ribbons are made from cloth and satin ribbon. We hand
make each of these ribbons from scratch (see pics below). We take cotton fabric, and cut it to size, then
we iron it in half then fours, then we take satin ribbon and sew them together. We then put clear enamel
on the ends of the cloth and satin ribbon to help prevent fraying. We also attach a white star, a Cross,
or small bow to the center. Our Autism ribbons come with either a red, or blue heart patch, or
a fire truck or spaceship patch, or a heart button. Which adornment you get will depend on what we have
in stock.
Ribbons are approximately 4" high, and 2 1/2" wide at the
bottom.
Ribbons are NOT available to purchase at this
time.
