Default Adhering Ribbon to Paper
What is the best method to adhere ribbon to paper? I've tried 2-way glue pen and regular paper glue but neither seem to "hold" the ribbon on securely.

Any advise or directions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've found that glue dots work great.

I use double stick tape and if it really, really has to stick forever, sticky strip.

I use my 150 Xyron and glue dots. They seem to work best for me!

LOVE "zip strips" they're perfect for ribbon. I buy them at michael's with a coupon when I can't find anything else to buy. If I run out then I use my little X xyron.

Glue dots are the best for adhering ribbon to paper, but there is no substitute for punching holes and tying the ribbon on the paper.

I agree with tobyk9--Sticky Strip if it's just got to hold. (don't have Xyron, so don't know about that)

I like to use "depending on style of card"...brads or even eyelettes....sure to hold...or else, dlb sided sticky tape seems to work well for me.

I'm a sticky tape fan. After that I also use my mono-adhesive in both white and clear. I clip it to the card or page with a clothespin until it dries. If I'm in a hurry and out of tape I use glue dots.

I made a covered box this weekend, and used Modge podge to adhere the ribbon. The ribbon got really stiff though, so I wouldn't recommend this on cards.

For cards, I'm with the others that use glue dots. Those things really stick!

Thanks, all for the tips! It sounds like glue dots, or sticky tape is the overwhelming majority. I didn't have any before this last weekend but now that I have them, the ribbon sticks GREAT!

And, I like the suggestion to use a clothespin to hold the ribbon on until it is stuck.

Thank you!
