  Step 1

  First things first: I used all the colors in the rainbow plus a white post-it. You'll see how different the ribbon will be when you finish with white lightnings =D

• 

  Step 2

  Get the other 6 colors.

• 

  Step 3

  When you have them all, match them one behind the other and start marking strips all along the post-it and leaving a side uncut.

• 

  Step 4

  You'll end up with something like this.

• 

  Step 5

  Start folding the side you didn't cut as if it was a zig zag

• 

  Step 6

  You'll end up with something like this.

• 

  Step 7

  Stick this end with magic tape, as if you were doing a bouquet.

• 

  Step 8

  Split in two the bouquet and apply some presure for it to stay in half.

• 

  Step 9

  Start curling the first half of the strips with your scissors, my advise in here is that you make a curl in fron of the other. I mean: make a curl with the bouquet in front of you, and then turn it around and make the other curl with the bouquet with it's back at you. This is what will give playfulness to your ribbon.

• 

  Step 10

  When you end up the first half your ribbon will look like this. Repeat step 9 with the other half.

• 

  Step 11

  When you finish curling, your ribbon will not have an specified shape. You'll have to make it, but don't worry!! You'll just need a squeeze.

• 

  Step 12

  Turn over your ribbon, look for the half of it again.

• 

  Step 13

  Squeeze the halves downwards and push the strips a little to the front of the ribbon.

• 

  Step 14

  And there you go! A Heart Ribbon =D!!! You can spong the ribbon with your hands and give it the shape you want. See how the white post-it highlight the ribbon?

In the very beggining you have to paste the 1/3 of the base with tape or with glue stick, as you prefer. When you finish ruffling the strips you end up with something similar to a mini bouquete, you just have to cut the excess of the little leg (at the top of the first picture you can see the white part of the little leg of mine had left before I cut it) and stick it to the present with tape.

I cut strips through 2/3 of the post it and curled the strips with scissors half of the strips inside out, the other half outside in. If you need a deeper explanation please let me know, I didn't take pictures of the process but I can make some examples for your reference.
