Children's Crafts: Velcro-Ball Dartboard Ribbon

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to attach the ribbon to the dartboard so we'll be able to hang it on a wall. The way we do this is we turn the dartboard over and we take a piece of ribbon--just enough to make a loop onto the back--and we attack the ends, we hold them together, and then with a little bit of glue, we're going to attach them to the back of the dartboard. Once they're attached to the back of the dartboard, we're going to do it in a way that it has a little bit of a loop hanging over the top. And we'll take a piece of masking tape for support and we'll put it over the ribbon where the glue was, and this should hold it nice and strong. The ribbon can start to fray if it's on a nail. If you prefer to use something stronger than a ribbon, you can also use something like a shoelace or any type of string. But the ribbon usually works very well. The entire dartboard is not so heavy that it doesn't give a lot of weight, a lot of stress to the ribbon. But if you're hanging it on a sharp object, sometimes a ribbon can start to get very thin. So that's the way that we attach the ribbon to the back of our dartboard, and then this is going to be used to hang it on a wall."
