Love is in the air...
I did this ribbon for my boyfriend's birthday. I wanted to do something different for him so I wanted to make a rainbow color ribbon or something like that and ended up with a beautiful heart in my hand. Looks like my subconscuious betrayed me... Now, for the "how to" I made ANOTHER ribbon with just 1 post-it per color, but the more post-its you put, the more spongy your ribbon will be. I hope it helps you =D.

Step 1First things first: I used all the colors in the rainbow plus a white post-it. You'll see how different the ribbon will be when you finish with white lightnings =D
-
Step 2Get the other 6 colors.
-
Step 3When you have them all, match them one behind the other and start marking strips all along the post-it and leaving a side uncut.
-
Step 4You'll end up with something like this.
-
Step 5Start folding the side you didn't cut as if it was a zig zag
-
Step 6You'll end up with something like this.
-
Step 7Stick this end with magic tape, as if you were doing a bouquet.
-
Step 8Split in two the bouquet and apply some presure for it to stay in half.
-
Step 9Start curling the first half of the strips with your scissors, my advise in here is that you make a curl in fron of the other. I mean: make a curl with the bouquet in front of you, and then turn it around and make the other curl with the bouquet with it's back at you. This is what will give playfulness to your ribbon.
-
Step 10When you end up the first half your ribbon will look like this. Repeat step 9 with the other half.
-
Step 11When you finish curling, your ribbon will not have an specified shape. You'll have to make it, but don't worry!! You'll just need a squeeze.
-
Step 12Turn over your ribbon, look for the half of it again.
-
Step 13Squeeze the halves downwards and push the strips a little to the front of the ribbon.
-
Step 14And there you go! A Heart Ribbon =D!!! You can spong the ribbon with your hands and give it the shape you want. See how the white post-it highlight the ribbon?
