Can someone direct me to a tutorial that teaches how to pull ribbon through eyelets, tags, etc. so that it looks realistic? TIA!

I can't think of a tut just right now...
But this is how you start it, have your ribbon on one layer and your eyelet on another.
depending on how you want you ribbon to weave through your eyelet erase the part of the ribbon that would lay behind the eyelet, and erase the part of the eyelet that would lay behind the ribbon.
Then you would need to use the warp tool to pinch or pull the ribbon into a smaller shape as it would look if passing through a smaller hole.
Then with the burn or dodge tool you can add highlights and dark areas that look like shadows to your ribbon to make it look more realistic.
I have not played much yet with the warp tool but I have seen some amazing things done with it!!
I will keep checking for a tut and let you know.
hth's a little
