Ribbon Amulet - Constructing the Pouch There are a few different ways you can design the pouch, and I’ve illustrated a few below. Envelope Pouch This first design reminds me of a little envelope. First, no matter how you decide to form your pouch, you need to finish off the ends of the piece of ribbon you cut. 5 to 6 inches of ribbon work well for this type of design. But, the ends fray easily. So, I recommend using a serger stitch or zig zag stitch to finish off both ends of the ribbon. Then fold over both ends, and sew a straight stitch.

However, instead of making a pointed end like an air plan, just fold the ribbon in half, and sew two straight seems on either side of the ribbon. I usually make a few of each different kind of pouch, The pouch illustrated in the rest of this project was constructed using this basic design.
