Bootstrap Ribbons

Overview

Bootstrap ribbons comes handy when you need to mark or promote a certain element on the page. Our ribbons are pure CSS with simple markup, that allows to create corner or bookmark-style ribbons with just one HTML line of code. Ribbons make use of clip-path and clip-image and no border (like majority of articles mentioned), so you can create custom styles by combining background color and text color. There are four predefined sizes available or size the ribbons using font size. You can also make stylish ribbon with folds just by adding .ribbon-fold class. Folds are automatically colorized depending on ribbon color and sized depending on ribbon size.
