How to curl the grograin ribbon.

Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees. To curl ribbon, tightly and evenly wrap grosgrain ribbon around a narrow wooden dowel and pin each end in place with wooden clothespins. Lightly spray the ribbon covered dowel with spray starch. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes. Let cool, unwrap and use on projects.

The size is about a grapefruit. As for info on how to make it, I looked back at my bookmarks and I used ideas from a combo of 2 tutorials. Here they are:
