5. You will need about 8 or 9 inches of ribbon, but this will vary according to the width of your ribbon and the size of your card. Use your judgment to get the best look.

 
6. Snip the ends to make them slanted.

 
7. Fold the ribbon into thirds.

 
8. Unfold the ribbon and put a small dot of glue in the centre of first and last thirds.

9. Fold it up again and pull down the ribbon ends a little to form a bow shape.

 

 
10. Using another spot of glue, attach the bow to the fabric and hold in place for a minute or so until it has stuck.

 
11. Use a more generous amount of glue for the button.

 

 
12. Leave undisturbed for the glue to dry and tie the other ribbon to the punched hole.
