Awareness ribbons are a simple way to show support for something and are often worn on days when certain causes are dedicated.
Steps
Step 1. Choose your cause and gather what is needed
If you are reading this article, you will probably already know the purpose of the awareness ribbons, but it is still very important to explain this step. You can use materials such as ribbon, paper or fabric. Make sure they're the appropriate color, or if you've chosen paper, you can use a highlighter to color it. You will need a pair of scissors, and if your ribbon is fabric or paper, you may want to use a ruler or ruler, pen or pencil to make a straight cut. You will also need something to hold the ribbon together and pin it. For example, you can use a brooch if you want to wear it on your clothes, or a thread if you intend to hang it on the door.
Step 2. Find the right size and cut
It is easy if the material to be used is a ribbon. Just calculate the desired length in proportion to the width and make a test cut to adapt according to the following operations until you have found the right size. If you are using fabric or paper, take a sheet and calculate the length and width to which you intend to cut it. Take into account the desired size of the tape and the ratio between length and width (it is not advisable to be too wide or too long). Therefore, it is recommended to use a ruler, pen or pencil to be able to make a straight cut. Try the following steps until you have found the right size. If you have to pack more than one ribbon, once you have found the exact measurements, all you have to do is use them to finish the rest of the work. If necessary, it is best to color the paper before proceeding.
Step 3. Fold it
It might be difficult, but not what it looks like. Just understand how it works. Using the piece of paper or fabric, place the ribbon horizontally in front of you, take the two ends and cross them on top of each other, keeping the sides of each end facing you.
Step 4. Secure it
Use your chosen one to hold it in place and hang it wherever you want to display it.
