rhinestone mesh ribbon???

Ok I'm addicted to shopping for ribbon and my tweens don't think a bows complete without feathers or sparkly's and I came across this ribbon has anyone ever used it? It looks like it would be hard to manipulate and even to gather but of course it got ooooh's and aaaaah's from the tweens lol. Is it even worth trying or is it going to be one of those things that gets thrown in my ribbon box to never be seen again... Thanks guys Shawna

not sure what one you're looking at. But I know some ladies use it to add sparkle to clippies and even flip flops. I personally have not used it.

Oooooooo! I Googled rhinestone ribbon to see what you were referring to. I don't think it would get banned to the ribbon box at all. If it didn't work well for bows, I'm sure there would be a TON of other crafts and sewing projects to which it could add some extra bling!

What prices are you seeing for this? I only looked at two sites and saw some 2" ribbon with 10 rows of 'crystals'. It was selling for $8/roll, which worked out to 1.22/ft

I might need some of this!

that is about the prices I've been coming across I ordered some to my new house so I don't get to see it till christmas break booo my daughter was thinking to add it to my 3yo's tutu's, and maybe some simple bows and she wants me to sew her mittens to her coat with it if it's possible (yes I still sew my kids gloves, scarves and hats to their coats lol with a button for safety) I'm still nervous about being disappointed but I only ordered a couple yards so I guess it could be worst if I hate it. Thanks for the encouragement I am not nearly as creative or confident as you ladies
