Ribbon placemats!

Started on the placemats project to use up part of the ribbon stash. So far, I've made 7 placemats and a very small dent in the stash. Here are the first two that I made yesterday:

I still haven't figured out a good way to finish the edges. For now, I have just taped the edges together. I was thinking of trying to gently iron together with that no-sew hem tape. On previous placemats, I had tried to sew a ribbon hem around the placemat but it was frustrating and didn't come out the way I wanted. Boooo.
