Suggestions for making a peace ribbon:
Shapes: You can make it in this shape (style illustrated) or in the shape of a tied bow like on your shoes.
To secure it: Glue it, tie it, staple it, or pin it where the ribbon strands cross over.
Colors: made with one ribbon or many strands
- Make it in rainbow colors to represent the many colors of the world's people (sample to left).
- Make it in blue (see number 1 below). Blue is the color most often associated with peace.
- Make it with one ribbon that is multi colored or printed designs such as flags.
- Make it with many different pieces of ribbon in rainbow colors (see number 3 and 4 below).
Add to it: You can add a peace symbol, country symbol, star or your flag to it where it crosses or ties, and change colors (depending on your country), as in number 2 below.
To wear it: Attach a pin to the back so you can easily pin it to your clothes. You can use a safety pin, or buy jewelry pinbacks at the craft store. These two are the safest to use!
