I'm new to this so please bare with me if I'm totally placing this in the wrong thread. I'm decorating chinese take-out boxes for my candy buffet as favors and I'm having trouble with the glue. I'm using sheer ribbon so I can see the glue spot... even though it's clear glue. I tried using the tape stickies but I can see the white through my see-through tiffany blue ribbon. Please help... What do you guys use with sheer ribbon?

THANKS!!

You know, sadly enough, I didn't think of that and my glue gun is sitting right next to me! I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

THANKS! :D

A six inch nail. :rofl:

Seriously though i think a glue gun might work. I used one on my Dolls House (See Hobby thread in General Chat)

Or can you cover the glue spot with a little gem or something?

If the hot glue doesn't work ... try 3M or Scotch clear double sided tape.

I tried the hot glue gun and I think it'll pass.
