Beautiful Jacquard Ribbon Resource

I just learned about a great source for designer woven jacquard craft ribbon. Douglas Paquette comes out with new jacquard ribbon designs every year and retires some previous designs. If you’re unfamiliar with the name, I’m sure you’ve seen his products.

He uses his ribbons to adorn key rings, headbands, belts, flip flops and pet collars which he makes and sells in his online store. They’re also available in retail outlets around the world.

So where do the poor old leftover ribbons go each year? They retire to Ally’s Bazaar where you can buy them for your craft projects at very reasonable prices. Though each design is copyrighted, you are allowed to use them in products you make to sell.

I’m showing just a few examples from Ally’s current stock here. Once each design is sold out, you will never see it again; but Ally assures me she has lots of each design.


In addition to all the things Douglas does with them, I think they would make adorable ribbon tags for scrapbooking, bookmaking and gift tags, as well as trim for household items (towels, pillows) and clothing. The choice of themes will inspire you.

I am waiting for my order of the Ocean Palm design because we live in a neighborhood called Las Palmas. I have a palm tree theme going on: bedspread, welcome mat, etc. I’d love to trim some throw pillows with palm tree ribbon. Woohoo!
