Hi everyone

Can I ask how you fasten the ribbon at the back?

Don't worry, I am not going into business, I don't know how you ladies do it! I have been making my nappy cake for about 6 months :rotfl:I finally had to get a move on with it as my DD gave birth to my 2nd granddaughter yesterday so hopefully will be going down to visit soon and take it with me.

It doesn't look too bad but need to fasten the ribbon properly, at the moment I have just pinned it, waiting on your expert advice

Thanks

I use a hot glue gun to seal all my ribbons to make sure they don't come off.

I just use a piece of double sided tape and then cover with a piece of clear packaging tape (as I had a couple that had come undone overnight).

Knowing my luck, I'd glue it to the blanket !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use double sided tape on the back of the ribbon to fasten it together

I tie them in a bow at the front but use 3 bits of double sided tape to ensure that it stays level all the way around. I tried using wilkinsons double sided once but it all came undone overnight. so tend to stick to Sellotape brand...much stronger!
Good luck with it

I too have glued my fingers together on numerous occasions lol so far not to the blanket but I have however managed to sew something to my clothes when I was trying to repair it! Sorry off topic!

Am having a nightmare this morning can't seem to get the cellophane on right and wrap it up grrrrr
