An excerpt:

"There is an art in the handling of ribbon which is well recognized. In popular vernacular it is spoken of as the "knack"... The Art and Craft of Ribbon Work embraces the various uses of ribbon in the domestic and decorative arts. It is the most exhaustive and comprehensive volume devoted to the manipulation of ribbon yet compiles. The illustrations of a multitude of attractive and effective developments from ribbons will stimulate the creative ability of the expert and the detailed instructions for making them will be the mentor of the student."

The antique and vintage ribbon, thread, fabrics, etc., can be found on eBay quite readily. You just have to hunt a little bit! :) Or, of course, you can utilize contemporary tools and materials found at a near by fabric, craft or hobby store…
