Hand Block Printed Toile de Jouy Paper Ribbon

Print your own - 180 feet of ribbon


Block printed on 6" wide masking paper
Roll out the masking paper and stamp with dark blue acrylic paint

Wrap packages with plain brown paper and decorate with "ribbon"

Stamps from "Rubber Stampede"






Pretty as any 18th century French Toile de Jouy fabric

    Hi Francesca, The paper ribbon is very easy and very inexpensive to make. Do you have 6 inch masking tape available in Italy?

    I've been asked before about my blog title. So I have posted a few pictures that will show you why.
