For me, one to two ribbons does the job. Three if the Apocrypha is included between the Testaments. One for the OT, one for the Apocrypha, and one for the NT.

Oh no I missed the reminder for the live! I loved how Tim Nickels was very firm in his opinion. I agree that it seemed Tim Frisch was messing with us. R. Grant Jones had me laughing out loud 🤣🤣🤣. The number of ribbons is obviously 3. This was a great video!! Thank you.

Stacked ribbons should never be allowed. This is a not an option. As a rebinder, our standard length is 5” from the edge of the cover, always a 10mm double sided satin ribbon, angle cut and sealed. We need more of these collaboration videos. Great stuff here everyone.

They MUST be - multi coloured, flowing, double-sided satin, 3 or 4 in number and at least 4 inches below the book block to even be able to call themselves Bible ribbons! No self-respecting Premium Bible would be without them. But if for some reason the publisher has let us down, well, we simply replace them! 🤣😂 Five stars for this video as always. Thanks again. 😍🙏

Takeaways: "WIDE" NOT "THICK;" PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS! Nickels is actually right (this time). Frisch's sarcasm aimed at Crossway is well-earned and could have been more lethally applied. Cat does well to call out Cambridge. RGJ -- DAT BEARD THO. Pythagorean! Beau--CROSSWAY ARE YOU LISTENING? Also a wee bit of ESV flexing there at the end, no? 😆 Mirror Image Randy--Nice to see your face, Brother! A rare treat. Speaking truth. Tim W. -- Nice video dude! But again, Nickels and Randy are right. 3/8" WIDTH NOT THICKNESS double sided satin or nothing.

I don’t quite go for the really long ones like Tim Nickles, but agree with them being long enough to slide to the corner to open your Bible. As for colour, usually choose colours that compliment the cover and really need a minimum of two. More for thicker bibles. Thanks again for a fun review.

I learned how to do it on Beau Tate's channel

Simple! I usually use it like this: - Very thin bibles (- 1"), 1 ribbon; thin bibles (1" to 1 1/2"), 2 ribbons; medium bibles (1 1/2" to 2"), 3 ribbons; thick bibles (2" to 2 1/2"), 4 ribbons; study bibles (+ 2 1/2"), 5 ribbons; - Width from 1/4" to 3/8" double face; - Length from 5" to 7" longer than the overall height of the bible; - Sequential colors from darkest to lightest, type: black, dark gray, coffee brown, medium brown, beige...

Great fun video! My preference is none! I got this from Matthew Everhart: use post-it tabs in different colors. I place them to mark the place on the page , not just the page. And they don’t get tangled up in the zipper of my less expensive canvas Bible cover that protects the synthetic or bonded leather-covered bibles.

This would really good timing, and I love the humor in it. This just seemed fun to make. I just bought some ribbon to add to some of my Bibles and commentaries (either "spine bookmark" method or glue in legit adding). I think my preference is below: -10mm -Double-sided satin (I don't have Beresford because I can't find an affordable supplier of them) -3 minimum with preferably 4 (I like marks in O.T., Prov. Ps., and N.T.) -Length just long enough to get to the corner with about 3/4" - 1" remaining to hold _OCD dictates the ribbons must all be the same length (prefer a slightly slanted cut over flat cut) -Different color ribbons, but matching a palette close to each other. To be fair, I haven't had a Bible with ribbons wider than 10mm, but that seems like the Goldilocks size for me.

Great video! I noticed one important point left out about Bible ribbons, though: it can be a very different story for those who want or need to carry their Bibles in covers. The zippers can so easily catch and fray longer ribbons; I've done it and I've seen countless others fighting it also. I like buying those cheap little accessory ribbons that will tuck into the binding space so that cheaper Bibles can have as many as desired; I just cut off the ones I don't need or want. Never heard of most of these colleagues of yours...

This is a big thing for me too. Funny I was just contemplating cutting my ESVNC1 ribbons down. I love 2 in anything under 1.5 inch and 3 and only 3 anything above 1.5 inch thick bible. And as far as length. What I do is I take the middle ribbon on a 3 ribbon bible and place it in the center(ish) of the bible. Then I pull it to the outside corner and then select the length from there I desire. Usually about 2.5 to 3 inches from the corner, mark it then pull all three out the top and cut evenly at an angle. This usually gives me 4-5 inches of ribbon hanging out the bible when done (and that is a guess, I don't measure). Allan Ribbons are sooooooooo long and I get them get them caught on everything. They pretty, but in the way! lol As far as style goes.... whatever Schuyler and Allan have is good. I haven't had a premium from anyone else to compare. SORRY LONG COMMENT
