Ok.

So I'm working on these shoes, which require this white ribbon border on them and this white template of ribbons on the front.

Only, even with this super thin ribbon, I can't get it to bend enough to go super evenly around corners. Last night, in a fight of frustration I just flipped the ribbon on the border just to make it take the corner. You can see the results in the picture. I'm not sure if it looks good or bad or if it'll even be noticeable on a pair of shoes (nobody is going to put their feet next to my head... I hope).

Also the bunch of white ribbons on the front have exposed edges. The mod podge should stop them from fraying but I can't cover them with a border because of the same ribbon bending problems. Is there anything I can do here or should I just leave it?

Thanks for any help. I'm just can't tell if I should be freaking out or not.

PS: The gap in the gold ribbon at the front isn't a problem, that'll be covered up by a cameo soon (yep, Sakizou design).
