I use 40 - 42 (depends on colours) and about 7cm long. It is a lot of ribbon but they look sooooooo good done that way. I also tie mine off. Sewing them killed my fingers and they did not puff up the same way.

Let us know how you go!

Hi Jodie,

I wrap mine too, I use about 35 to 40 piece and wrap the center and pull as tight as possible and it brings the korkers up nice and full

I cut my korker pieces about 5.5cms long as I dont like them too big I also do mini ones with the peices about 3.5cms - 4cms
