Answer
there are plenty of beautiful things you can make with ribbons. a lot depends on the width & type of ribbon you are using.

- artificial ribbon flowers - arrange in ikebana style or any simple vase arrangement
- silk ribbon embroidery
- use for mobiles, curtains, etc - string beads, CDs, pipes, bells, etc. through them & let them hang at different lengths.
- weave to make mats, coasters, rugs, picture frames, book-covers, etc. Add/sew an edge for stability & to avoid fraying.
- weave to make mini quilts that can be used as a wall-decoration/piece too.
- braid to make belts, mats, rugs, coasters, etc.
- use to make bracelets, headbands, bandanas, wristbands, etc.
- weave into a square or rectangle. add some lining/batting. then fold & sew on 3 sides to make a purse. braid some more ribbons & attach to make the handle of the purse. attach a few small kawasaki roses made from ribbon, to adorn. :-)
- use for couching or as ornamental edges for other sewing projects.
- tie/glue ribbon bows or flowers to ornamental bottles, jars, closet potpourri satchets, gifts, etc. to adorn & beautify.
- make a mosaic of diff kinds & colors of ribbons. you can also create a landscape-type picture using the diff shades & frame.

here are a few sites i found for you, to get you started.

BTW, to stop ribbons from fraying, you can apply either clear nail polish or Fraycheck or even diluted PVA glue. or cut at a 45 degree angle.

ADDITION :
- make board games, eg. tic-tac-toe, etc. You can make any of your fav board games with your fav ribbons/colors. use beads, buttons, etc. for each player. in fact you can cover buttons with ribbon too or make little kawasaki roses as playing coins. OR create any New game.
- make little raggedy dolls or to hang in the car. you can also use the ribbons to beautify a doll's house : use for upholstery, linen, lawn, etc.
- use as bookmarks
- use for filigree in greeting cards

hope these help
all the very best & have fun :-))
