    Where to buy cheap ribbon in Melbourne?

    Hi everyone

    I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can buy cheap, wide ribbon, preferably by the roll, in Melbourne?

    I'm making some wraps for the baby at the moment and they look so unfinished without some kind of trim. I know exactly what would work but seeing as the material was only 99c/m I can't justify paying over $3/m for ribbon at spotlight!

    I'm in Parkdale, so Bayside. I don't go into the city ever, so somewhere this side of the city or even online would be great!

    I just want to finish them! That said, I bent the needle on my sewing machine by accident and the needle is screwed in so tightly (done at manufacturing, it's only new!) that I can't get it out anyway, and neither can DH, so I might be waiting a while anyway lol

    have you tried Go-Lo/The Reject Shop? I got a few rolls (some satin ribbon, some grosgrain ribbon) for about $2.50/roll. It was only a couple of cm wide though, so wider ribbon might be a bit more expensive, but probably not too much! those rolls were only a metre or so long though.
    Or if you can wait, have a look on Ebay/Oztion.
