1 - Open a new file that is 12 inches tall, .5 inches wide and a resolution of 300 dpi.
2 - Set your foreground color to be the basic color of your ribbon and the background color to a slightly darker version of the foreground color. For this example I set the foreground to #F49AC1 and the background to D97BA4.
3 - Select the entire layer (CRTL+A) and fill it with the foreground color.
4 - Switch the foreground and background colors (keyboard shortcut: X).
5 - Create a new layer (keyboard shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+N)
6 - Open the Brush tool. Select the diameter 19 hard round brush and set the brush opacity to 70%.
7 - Hold down the SHIFT key and drag the brush along both sides of the ribbon. Holding down the SHIFT key forces you to draw just vertical or horizontal lines.
8 - Add a Simple Inner Bevel to the brushed edges. Adjust the size of the bevel if desired. I used an size 18 pixel bevel in the example.
9 - Make the main part of the ribbon the active layer and select Filter> Sketch> Halftone Pattern from the main tool bar. Set the pattern type to Lines with a size of 3 and a contrast of 20.
10 - Rotate the entire image 90 degrees (Image> Rotate> 90° Right)
11 - Set the foreground color to white.
12 - Open the Gradient tool.
13 - Click the down arrow next to the sample gradient and then the right arrow.
14 - From the list of gradient sets, select Special Effects.
15 - From the Special Effects gradients, select Soft Stripes.
16 - On a new layer, loosely click on the left end and then the right end of the ribbon.
17 - Change the gradient layer’s mode to multiply.
18 - Before taking your new ribbon into a layout make sure to flatten it (Layer> Flatten Image).
