One of the things that you can easily make with ribbon is a bracelet.
The ones I have pictured here are really simple. The ends of the ribbon are just crimped inside these metal ends called ribbon crimps. They are open a bit when you get them, and you just hold the ribbon in the area, and crimp the metal closed with some pliers. then you add a couple of jump rings and a simple clasp and your bracelet is ready to wear!
The green and white one is just one piece of ribbon. ( I find that about 5" or 5-1/2" is a good length, since the metal pieces add a bit of length, but you might need to fine tune that to your needs)
The narrow one is a piece of pink velvet ribbon stitched on to a piece of wool:
For this one, I stitched the green and white ribbon on to a piece of wool, and use a clip on earring from a thrift store as added ornamentation:
Of course you could add stitching or embroidery, or beads, or.....
If you can't find a ribbon crimp end, (yes, we have them at the store, I ordered some in because they can be hard to find, but not the closures, you can usually find them easily at a bead store), you could make a cuff with a button closure as an alternative.
