Grosgrain ribbon is a little thicker then satin ribbon.  It also has a
slight texture to it.  I purchased 1/4" of the grosgrain ribbon.  Since it
has a slight texture to it and is a little thicker I felt it would work out
better and hold a knot better.

Joyce,

What is grosgrain ribbon? Can you describe it for us? I usually use satin
cord for these types of projects, but I find that the beads tend to scrunch
up if you pull them too tight.

Thanks,
Minh

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their
dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
