What to do with this tartan ribbon?

[Calico]

I think you need to weave the ribbons (think lawn chair webbing) and then make a kilt out of it.

Talk about fashion forward!

(um, do wear something underneath when its done)

Self Tie Garters.

I wear garters made from woven woollen tapes. With a knot tied in each end and then teased out to form a tassel, 1 yard per leg is only just enough. And I have skinny calf muscles.

If the ribbon is silk or polyester you could make a tassel by taking a couple or three (or more) short lengths and doubling them through the knot.

I would have thought that a normal sized calf would use a yard and a half (times 2 for both legs) and then at least an extra yard for the tassels (say 2 yards as there are 2 ends to each garter)

So a total of 5 yards used for one pair of garters.

How much ribbon do you have?
