Holiday Ribbons: Halloween Edition

With the holidays quickly approaching, ribbons are becoming more and more important. So, let’s start this season off with an explosion of black, white and orange!

Halloween is a fun and festive tradition in many homes and businesses. With costumes of fairies and cartoon characters everywhere, you might be in need of prizes for the best one. Or what if you’re celebrating this holiday by throwing a party? Use these festive ribbons for decorating your home or party venue. And don’t forget the treats! What would Halloween be without candy?

Ribbon rolls can be customized to meet all your holiday needs. From choosing the perfect color to forming the best phrase, all our ribbon rolls can be personalized. Create holiday wreaths or simply drape these ribbons along banisters, stairs or walls for your holiday decorations.

Use ribbon rolls to tie up goody bags. From cookies to candy, your treats are sure do to the trick especially when personalized with your own festive ribbon.

And, no Halloween party is complete without a few prizes.

Use classic ribbons or rosette ribbons to create your own, one-of-a-kind awards! Use titles such as Best Costume, Most Creative or Scariest Costume. No matter your choice for awards, these personalized ribbons will be perfect for each and every winner.

While orange and black ribbons are the typical colors for Halloween, we have a giant color selection to choose from. Choices include: Torrid Orange, Poppy, Tangerine, Black, White, Maize, Red and Scarlet. Or, go with colors a little less traditional: Regal Purple, Pastel Green or Smoke Blue.

Hand out badge ribbons for party games, given as a bookmark to students, or given as a prize for a costume contest. Use them as recognition of that special costume or person during a meeting or at a school event. These also make great keepsakes for your guests to take home with them.

Dress up your Halloween party with Halloween designs on personalized ribbons and have a Happy Halloween!

Showing Support with Awareness Ribbons

Awareness ribbons are used year round, but some of the most prominent reasons for wearing these ribbons happen in October.

Throughout the year, awareness ribbons are used to celebrate and honor many occasions and holidays. Each ribbon, whether a badge ribbon, a ribbon roll or a rosette ribbon, can stand for different things depending on the color used.

Many support groups have adopted ribbons as symbols of support or awareness. Awareness ribbons date back to 1917 when the yellow awareness ribbon showed up to support US military while serving abroad. Since then, ribbon colors associate with a variety of causes and symbolize various concerns depending on the color and pattern.

Schools will be acknowledging Red Ribbon Week during the last week of October. Others are observing energy awareness, literacy awareness and cultural diversity awareness. But the most followed is breast cancer awareness.

Pink is the chosen color for breast cancer awareness. This color was first used in 1991 when the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink ribbons to participants in its New York City race for breast cancer survivors. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month officially adopted pink as its color in 1992.

The color pink is often considered as feminine. It tends to stand for caring for other people, being beautiful, being good, and being cooperative. The pink ribbon represents hope for the future and the charitable goodness of people and businesses who publicly support the breast cancer movement.

Make Your Own Awareness Ribbon

Begin your awareness ribbon by cutting a section of a ribbon roll that includes your entire text. Or, you can choose to have a blank ribbon. Cut your ends to your liking.

Next, form a small loop in the ribbon. Make sure to leave each end hanging down so that any text shows at the ends without the center crossover covering it. Secure this together with either a small piece of tape or a dab of glue.

The final step is to choose a fastener for your awareness ribbon. (View the full tutorial.)

State and County Fair Ribbons

From pies and other baked goods to award wining hogs and horses, no state or county fair is complete without great fair ribbons!

It’s that time of year again when the harvest is starting and the state and county fairs are showing off their wares. From shows and games to baked goods and larger-than-life vegetables, everyone deserves some sort of ribbon. Here are few suggestions if you don’t already have fair ribbons to call your own.

Classic Ribbons

These wonderful, flat ribbons are just perfect for that pie eating contest! Or they can be given for prize winning livestock, animal trick shows or other baked goods that are out of this world. Choose from a variety of titles and award positions, or create your own. With fun, vibrant colors, these ribbons are sure to please even the pickiest of winners.

Badge Ribbons

While these ribbons are simple, when customized to meet your needs, they can provide the recognition someone yearns for. Badge ribbons also provide instant recognition to those who are running the show. With stock and custom names and titles available, this simple solution is one of the best.

Rosette Ribbons

This classic ribbon is always a great standby for the fair! With the beautiful tops and long streamers, everyone covets one of these beauties. Again, these are perfect for that prize winning livestock. And those pies and cakes that are to-die-for are all longing for the recognition that one of these special rosette ribbons gives.

Rosette ribbons are seen everywhere at the fair. From giant pumpkins to those cute little baby piglets, they are truly the classic touch at your local state or county fair. There are plenty of titles and stock ribbons to choose from. Or, make your own custom fair ribbons. They can have any title or honor imprinted to meet all of your needs.
