Attaching ribbon

sarenu1 · January 2015

I made invitations for my daughter.

I want to attach some ribbon at the top. What is the best adhesive to use?

Hot glue?

Does it dry clear?

Invitations for...? Sometimes I hole punch and make the bow/tie the ribbon right on the card.

Otherwise, depending on your medium that you're attaching the ribbon to and the type of ribbon:

Glue
Hot glue
Glue dots (for cards sometimes, but isn't ideal)
Wire (like on a wreath)

This is what I'm attaching.

I'd use a mini hole punch. If you punch two holes the width you'd like you can cut your ribbon to size and bring up through the holes to the front and type how you'd like. No dry time or worry about moving around /getting messed up in the mail.

You can get slotted paper punches that cut thin strips perfect for threading ribbon through (depending on the ribbon width). I bought one when I was doing my wedding invites.

What if you made slits close to the edge with an X-acto knife? You could thread it through and twist it together in the back. It looks like the ribbon is sheer and I'd be afraid the glue would show through, even if it was clear.

I agree with cutting/punching holes and threading it through.
