How do you glue down ribbon?
For an opaque ribbon, such as a satin, grosgrain, taffeta, velvet, lace or ric-rac, you can use a glue runner, glue stick or double-sided tape. Since the ribbon is not see-through, the adhesive will not show. If your ribbon is sheer use vellum tape, brads or stitching to attach your ribbon.
No. Because it doesn't really work. it doesn't stick perfectly, and it will make the fabric hard and brittle - to the point where you can bend it and it will snap. Glues for fabric need to stay flexible, not set hard.
Certainly you can. I would recommend low-melt hot glue to spare your fingers any burns, especially if you are working with kids. Be aware that hot glue will melt or burn holes through certain ribbon materials, but in general it works very well with cloth ribbon. A little practice will get great results.
Cover the outside of the ribbon with Mod Podge. What is this? Cut your second ribbon at an an angle and stick it to the vase half way in between the first ribbon and the second, over the Mod Podge. Trim the second ribbon at an angle at the far end, again making it flush with the edge.
Aleene's Platinum Bond Super Fabric Adhesive
This industrial-strength glue can be used to make permanent, machine-washable bonds on leather, vinyl, polyester blends, felt, denim, satin, canvas, and more. It dries clear and quickly and can be washed 72 hours after it is applied.
You need to heat seal the ribbon. Get either a lighter or light a candle, I prefer to use a candle. Cut the ribbon at an angle and burn the ends. It only takes a few seconds.
Using super glue on fabric is not a good idea. Super glue tends to polymerize rapidly when added to fibers like cotton, therefore it will quickly generate heat that may burn the fibers. In addition, super glue cures into a brittle form that is not bendable and flexible like clothing needs to be.
Formulated to bond fabric, and hard-to-hold embellishments, Gorilla Fabric Glue provides a fast setting, permanent bond that remains flexible after washing. This high strength adhesive dries crystal clear and can be used on a variety of surfaces, making it the perfect alternative to a traditional needle and thread.
No, you can't. A hot melt glue gun does not get as hot as a soldering iron, and the highest temperature is inside the chamber, not at the tip. Soldering requires transferring a lot of heat from the iron tip to heat up both the wire, the lug it is being soldered to, and also the solder.
Roll two small pieces of fondant. Using a small dot of water, attach the first piece to the back of the cake. Wrap the ribbon around the cake, and using a small dot of water place the second piece of fondant on top so you can adhere the ribbon together.
How do you attach ribbon to fabric without sewing?
There are two great ways to attach fabric without sewing: fabric glue or a fusible bonding tape like Dritz Stitch Witchery. If you have a sewing machine, sewing is often still the fastest and most reliable method for many projects, but fabric glue or Stitch Witchery are great alternatives.
Using commercially available ribbon is an alternative to using bias tape or manually cut straight- or bias-cut binding strips. More importantly, it can be more convenient to use as it is pre-cut and unrolls from a spool. Ribbon also adds a distinctive contrast depending on the project.
Harden ribbon bows by spraying them with starch or hair spray and then dry them with a hair dryer on the lowest setting.
Yes, the hardener part of the Mod Podge Resin will yellow over time. The product has a shelf life of one year unopened and 6 months lifespan opened. Remember to always close the lid on the hardener right after each use and store in a dark area. Exposure to air and sunlight will make the hardener yellow faster.
Is Mod Podge permanent (since it isn't waterproof)? Technically, no. BUT if you Mod Podge a piece of paper to wood, it's not going to come off without some serious work.
Yes, you can use Elmer's Glue for your project. However, there are glues made for use with fabrics. Some of the Alene's glues might be better used here.
Use A Dowel
Take each of your spools of ribbon and place them onto a dowel held in place by brackets. They'll be easier to find and it'll be easier to grab a piece of ribbon and snip it off to use for your next project.
Clear craft glue will also do the same trick as the nail polish and stop the ends from fraying. Check the glue dries clear on a scrap of ribbon before you tackle your main project.

How long does it take for gorilla glue to dry on fabric?
Allow for a minimum of 24 hours for full cure. Wait a minimum of 3 days before washing and ironing. Wash on delicate cycle and dry on low/no heat. After each use, wipe nozzle with a dry cloth and tightly replace cap.

There's no question that Super Glue gets really hot when mixed with cotton. The high surface area of the fibers causes the glue to harden very rapidly, releasing energy in the form of heat. Manufacturers warn about burns caused when Super Glue drips onto clothes, which has happened to me personally.
Is Gorilla glue safe for wires? No, it is a epoxy glue and once cured/hardened it like a non conductive plastic.
Yes, Vaseline works just as well as commercial flux, and you can even buy a generic brand. Petroleum jelly is primarily made from waxes and mineral oils so that it won't corrode your components. Plus, it cleans away the gunk and eliminates metal oxides that could compromise your bond.
You are also confusing means of making a connection with the means of holding that connection in place. Solder does both these things. Electrical tape only does the latter. Therefore, no, electrical tape is not a substitute for soldering.

Both PVA and Elmer's glue will keep the pages together after completely dry. I still prefer the PVA glue because the book spine can bend easily and it creates less wrinkle. However, it is a personal choice. Elmer's glue can be a good choice for kid's first bookbinding project.
