Each of the ribbons was made using the rectangle tool shown here -

 

 

Then to get the "Ribbony Bit" this is what i did.

 

First cut the rectangle like so:

Make a box over the top

Select them box

In the pathfinder tool section

Click divide and remove the excess bits.

 

Move the middle section up

 

Change it back to red using the eye dropper tool 

 

 

 

Extend the length of the middle and the sides (If nessasary).

 

 

Change the sides to a darker colour so you can easily see it and to get depth

 

 

Using the Pen tool, make some triangular shape things for the in folding dark bit (Good name i know) and make these a darker colour than the ribbony bits:

 

(Don't have to be too neat under the top middle ribbony bit)

 

 

 

And the same on the other side :

 

 

And wala u have a ribbon. This is the basics to creating a ribbon so you dont have to rip off some un copyrighted stuff and display them as your own.

 

You can use this technique to create fancy ribbons.

 

If you wanna be more fancy here is a lil extra!:

 

using the pen tool - 

 

add a point in the farest from the middle side of each background selection:

 

The using the direct selection tool - 

 

Select the point and press - cmd + Shift + M to bring up the move box and change the number till you have something you like:

 

 

And same on the other side:

 

 

Now you can call your self a pro.
