Attaching Ribbons to Cards

Use double-sided adhesive tape that is thinner than the ribbon. If the tape wider, cut it or make sure it is covered by something else. What you want to avoid is having an uncovered sticky surface or messy glue marks. As an example, I used double-sided tape to adhere the ribbon on this handmade baby shower card:

To make sure you keep the ribbon straight, lightly make a pencil mark with a ruler as a guide. Cover the pencil line with the ribbon.

If you don't already have a stockpile of ribbon and can go shopping, the perfect thing is adhesive ribbon especially made for scrap booking and cards.
