What are some tips for using Bandaida?

Bandaida may be just the right solution. It comes in different sizes and colors. It has beautiful finished edges and is quite versatile. It can be used to make banners in all lengths, ribbon bows, Christmas ornaments, basket trimming, curtain tiebacks and more, and...the best thing is most projects can be done in one or two evenings. You can pick any small motif from a favorite pattern and then embellish it with beads, charms or buttons. There is very little finishing required. (If you’re a crafter, you can glue.) Finishing is so simple. For a banner, just fold the top edge over a small wood dowel wire hanger, or even secure with a simple bow or button. Add a pretty piece of ribbon for a hanger and you are done. If you are really creative you can add a little DMC tassle.
