Hook ups are a great way to use ribbon on a page.
I just used glue dots to anchor the ribbon in place.
- Cut the ribbon into 2 pieces and have each piece be at least 1 inch longer than your page.
- Thread each piece through the end of the hook up from the top under to the bottom and secure with glue dot.
- Wrap the extra ribbon around the back of your page and secure with glue dot.
I personally found it easier to put the glue dots on the PAGE rather than the ribbon.
That way, I wasn't trying to handle a 12 inch long piece of glue!
Other Tips:
Don't have matching ribbon that's wide enough to fit through the hook up?
Use two pieces of narrow ribbon. It's a little more labor intensive, but the end result is stunning!
Don't have any ribbon that matches?
cut a narrow strip of paper - it works just as well and you can truly customize the look of your page.
