It's smoothish, not grossgrain, but you could use whatever dark color and texture you wanted. I thought the tape would adhere more easily and firmly to smoother ribbon, which is why I didn't use grossgrain. If you attach your cards with the velcro, probably either kind of ribbon would work. Or you could even staple them. I attached the cards so the ribbon in the middle (see the picture in the Atmosphere post). It would be possible to merge any timeline with this one, just don't forget that the idea is to have "pegs" on the timeline, not so much everything you have ever studied. At the end of this year, I'll probably take down a few cards that were specific to our studies this year and leave up the main pegs--Birth of Christ, Pyramids, Fall of Rome, etc. Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304563767667167446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470474628831131953.post-87921493637115830772012-09-05T23:32:19.560-04:002012-09-05T23:32:19.560-04:00Thanks for the detailed info, Caroline.

How many yards is your timeline? did you use grosgrain ribbon?<br /><br />I was thinking how I might merge the timeline that is used the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd with this, so the main ribbon would be blue....just thinking aloud.Jennifer Gregory Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677077951743177153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470474628831131953.post-42535575185420792772012-08-31T19:59:03.862-04:002012-08-31T19:59:03.862-04:00Those are some of the nicest timeline cards I'...Those are some of the nicest timeline cards I've ever seen, Caroline... thanks for sharing the tutorial.
