Folding Style:
Cut ribbon at a diagonal to prevent fraying, starting with about a yard. Leave 12 inches of ribbon blank for tying. Fold the ribbon in a triangular form 12 inches down, sewing through with a needle and thread.
Add an 8/0 seed bead, then your chosen bead, followed by another 8/0 seed bead. Fold the ribbon in the opposite direction at the end of the bead, sewing through the middle of the triangle.
Crinkling Style:
Begin with two yards of ribbon for more slack.
Fold the ribbon in an accordion style, sewing through all layers at one end. Add your beads between folds, securing by sewing through the accordion folds on the opposite side.
Finish by tying knots to secure the thread and hiding them with a knot in the ribbon.
