I have been on the hunt for some wide and super soft satin ribbon ~ it is hard to find in a very soft finish ~ A friend of mine said that she bought blanket binding and that it was perfect so I set of to get some ~ I LOVE the feel and look of it, it is exactly what I was looking for ~
I bought pink to start out with and wanted to try tea dying it to make it look more vintage ~ it came out great except that I should have ironed it open before I tea dyed and dried it ~ sooo next time I will do that ~
I took a white lampshade and died it too and then set them both in the sun ~ it was a fun project and I will be getting more blanket binding soon !!

Lori,
Love that lamp, and i too have been looking for soft ribbon. I don't actually need it that wide. Did you find any that was narrower but really soft?
