Cin, there was a brief article about "Ribbonwork ornaments" in issue #74 of Threads magazine (Dec 97/Jan 98) that showed how to fold a cockade, pinwheel, etc. You should be able to find back issues of Threads *some*where [we all hoard things...], or ask your library to request a photocopy of the article on Interlibrary Loan. And--let us know if the instructions worked!

Subject: [h-cost] Ribbon cockade for a tricorn hat

Gentle readers,
I've been looking thru Candace Kling and Denise Dreher's books &
websites but cant find any good instructions for a two or three tone
ribbon cockade. Likely I'm looking in the wrong place but dont quite
know what to search for.
My hope is to find some instructions to pleat, twist, braid or bead a
hat trim suitable for my tricorn that I just blocked Wens. (So
excited!  I have a new skill!)
Any ideas?
