Ribbon supplies are just not complete without this fantastic Ribbon Shredder. We use them in our studio and love them. They give you a fast and simple decorative technique when using them on curling ribbon, cotton ribbon, poly splendorette ribbon and most non-fabric ribbons. This tool is made from a hard durable plastic and is also referred to as a Ribbon Slitter, but no matter what your call it - it will create a whole different look on your economy type ribbons. The Ribbon Shredder comes with a fine tooth side and a medium tooth side. You simply slip your length of ribbon between the teeth of the ribbon shredder, apply pressure to the top and bottom of the teeth and pull it down the length of your ribbon. This creates fine tendrils of ribbon that you can then curl by running the blade of your scissors down the tendrils making a lovely tussle of fine ribbon shreds. Have you ever wondered how professional decorators and florist make that nest of fine shredded ribbon that they nestle a pre-made bow into. All you need is a Ribbon Shredder and complimentary or matching ribbons cut it into lengths at least 3 to 4 inches longer than your bow is wide, hold the ribbons in the center between your thumb and finger then shred each end. Repeat this technique with as many pieces of ribbon as you would like then glue this little bundle of shredded ribbon to your package and place your bow into the center of this happy jumble of ribbon shreds. Another simple technique is to tie a handful of curling ribbon on the handle of your gift bag, shred the ribbons and then slide your scissors down the fine tendrils this is our simplest dress-up technique, but a favorite, to use on any of our gift and favor bags with twisted paper handles.
