Show me how you used tied ribbons?

I looooove the tied ribbons in my scrapbook kits, but I almost never know how to use them. Usually looks like I just stuck it somewhere because I didn't know how to use it. :thumbdown:

 
I usually try to bury them into a flower cluster but I often end up deleting them because they don't look right. Here are a few pages I left them on. lol

Yep... it basically should look like you just stuck it somewhere. :p :D LOL!!!

Stuck somewhere with something 'hanging' from it... just layer the object (keys and charms work great for this) under the knot in the center.


To pretty-up a tag, wordy bit, 3x4 cards, photos or element... as a decoration. They look nice attached to the top of things, especially.


Tucked underneath things like buttons, flower clusters, and elements...


I've even used tied ribbons almost like a foliage element when a kit doesn't have a large variety of leaves:
 
In between a flower and a button:

Holding a tag in place:

I like to layer them sometimes, stick a button on top, and add a tag:




Apparently this is something I do quite often...haha



Did it again here...I should try being more original sometime:



Holding something (anything) on a page - like a photo, word art, etc
 
I love ribbons and I can hardly resist using them :) I try to use them whenever I can and I guess I use them in various ways. Most often I use them "on top" of a card because they look so cute:







Other times I like using them on top of picture frames:







And, of course, I use them in clusters behind a flower.





 
These are seriously helpful and my Pinterest board is bursting now, lol! I have so many un-used elements I can play with now. Thanks so much!

This is the best group ever :wub:
 
You probably have more than enough inspiration by now, but here are a few pages from me. I use those bows all the time!
