Things You'll Need:
- Fabric

Step 1
Choose your fabric and ribbon. Satin ribbon comes in a variety of colors, widths, textures and patterns, so it is easy to choose a ribbon that works with your fabric.
-
Step 2
Choose your glue. There are several types of fabric glue available, including glue for stretchy fabrics, washable glue, hot glue, iron-activated glue and more. Choose a glue that works with the texture of your ribbon, fabric and the intended use of your finished product.

Step 3
Prepare your fabric by ironing it and laying it out on a firm flat surface.
-
Step 4
Measure and cut your ribbon as desired, then iron it to ensure a perfect, crease-free result. If desired, pin the ribbon to the fabric before gluing to get a preview of the finished product.
-
Step 5
Apply glue to the backside of the ribbon according to package instructions and place carefully on the fabric. Remove any excess glue immediately, before it has a chance to dry or cool. Press firmly to ensure a strong seal, placing a weighted object on top of the ribbon if necessary.
