Tip:
- Use a paper piercer to remove excess adhesive from the button holes.
- Use an adhesive that dries clear, such as Glossy Accents or Claudine Hellmuth Studio Matte Adhesive.
- To create a perfect banner, begin by making a small cut in the center of the paper strip. Then trim from each corner of the banner end to the top of the center cut.
