Also find a surface that a thumbtack can penetrate, like wood or drywall. If you have to attach it to a harder surface, use duct tape instead. Remember to place the ribbon somewhere people won’t knock into it.
You’ll need the thumbtack to hang the ribbon, so put it in a safe place. If you lose the thumbtack, you can also use a regular one in its place. However, try to find the original one or you risk stepping on it.
Don’t hold the tube too tightly. It’s only cardboard, and too much pressure will crush it.
If the ribbon doesn’t come out well, try pulling with a circular motion to help work it out. The ribbon is about 3 feet (0. 91 m) long, so you might have to readjust your grip to pull it all out.
If you’re trying to hang the ribbon on a harder surface like brick or metal, you can also use duct tape to attach it instead of the thumb tack.
If the ribbon gets covered in insects or loses its stickiness, replace it with a new one.
