   • hi
     a friend wants me to add two dainty ribons in the place of the three embraceing straps that i usualy use. these ribbons are to be mounted to the sides of a paper mask (in a secure way) with minimal disruption to the finished mask. please giude me

   • I usually use a leather punch to punch a hole in each side of the mask (papier mache) which is then threaded with elastic, but could be threaded with ribbon.

     Having used ribbon in the past though I find it ineffectual if the mask is of any size/weight.

     Good Luck

   • As for the ribbon, you could try velvet ribbon- it has some 'grab' to it.
