Also? I'm thinking of getting some ribbons and braiding them into replacements for my bootlaces. Is this at all feasible? Maybe I should braid them around an actual shoelace but I'm worried they'll be too fat and won't fit through the grommet.

Hi. Manic much?

Weave. Satin is too slippery, won't hold a knot easily and will snag and shred if you look at it wrong. Grosgrain is probably better.

But if your lacing eyelets aren't fairly smooth, ribbons will shred up pretty fast no matter what you do.
