  1. I am having difficulty with the ribbon. Did you hot glue the ribbon or did you school glue the ribbon. Can you give me specifics of how you did that to get it to hold? Thank you so much, I am enjoying this craft with my granddaughter.

    1. Hi Debra,

      Yes, we use a hot glue gun to attach the ribbon. If you are working with your granddaughter and concerned about the glue being too hot, you could always try a low heat glue gun. Those work great too! 🙂 Hope you have a great week!
