I use PSP 9 but can't for the life of me figure out how to pinch a ribbon and make it look realistic. I want to be able to have them look like they are threaded through eyelets or have something hanging on them. Can anyone tell me how to or point me in the direction of some tutorials? Please and a HUGE thank you!!

Hi have you tried the warp brush or mesh warp to move the end or part of the ribbon you want to pinch?
I am sorry but this is about the best visual tutorial I can come up with for the mesh warp http://glhold.com/tut/meshwarpvase/meshvasetut1.html seems everyone mentions and talks about how good it is, but very few show you how to use it.

Here is one for how the warp brush works..

They are really easy to use, easy to see what is happening while you are moving your pinched area of the ribbon. hth's a little

If you are using a small ribbon you can increase the size of your eyelets and then just use the warp brush a tiny bit to ease the ribbon to the edge. On this layout I used two layers of eyelets (with the ribbon between them) to cover up the erased edges of the ribbon. It made it have a smoother look.
