   Just use a match, lit candle or a lighter.

   Craft stores sell hot wire/hot pens for use in paper crafting, and low heat sodering irons work well, too.  I've always thought that a small hot glue gun, minus the glue, would also work for ribbon edges; the tip is certainly hot enough to burn my fingers.

   One problem with using a candle or open flame is the possibility of charring the edges or catching the ribbon on fire.  The heat pen/ sodering tool melts the synthetic fibers instead and is a lot safer overall.

   Try using a wood burning tool and laying the ribbon on a piece of glass to cut it.
