Ribbon making is an age-old tradition that’s been around for centuries. It takes care and dedication to make a ribbon that is both beautiful to look at and elegantly crafted. For years, the folks at Milwaukee-based company Cream City Ribbon have been making their special “unwoven” brand of ribbon on the same machines that were used back in the 1920’s.

Cream City Ribbons are like no other ribbons on the planet. They’re made with U.S. grown cotton yarn, that makes them feel like paper. It also makes them easy to tie and gives them the perfect curl.

Bees Knees

The ribbons made by Cream City Ribbon are some of the strongest ribbons you’ll find on the market. It’s so strong that it can easily be re-used to tie up garden plants. It’s also 100% biodegradable, making it safe for outside use and safe for the environment.

They have a beautiful collection of both stock ribbon and custom-made ribbon that can be crafted for any event and any need.

For traditionally made ribbon that’s anything but ordinary, check out Cream City Ribbon.
