Beautiful bows atop your gorgeous designs encourage prospects to become buyers. Everyone wants to know how you made the bow, but you won’t tell.

That’s a trade secret, especially if you traveled many miles like I did in the mid 1990s to learn bowmaking from the experts.

Where do you buy your ribbon? Some designers purchase from wholesale suppliers, such as the ones listed on this page and on the Gift Basket Wholesale Supplies site.

You may find ribbon manufacturers or distributors at trade shows or at local supply firms. There are many more sources, but don’t become overwhelmed. Decide which widths and patterns get the most attention, and focus on buying those styles.

Organize your ribbon so you know where to find each roll at a moment’s notice, especially if 100 rolls or more are in your inventory. Ribbon buying is a common addiction among designers. Make sure your purchases pay off in the long run.

You’ll find more information about ribbon and bows on this page.
