2. Add the ribbons in the desired pattern, making sure to cut each long enough to overlap onto the back of the board. Secure each with staples.
3. Put an "X" with staples at the intersections of the ribbons to help hold them taut so note cards and the like will stay in place (figure A).

4. Hide the staples with buttons hot glued in place or tack upholstery tacks at each intersection to secure the ribbons (figure B).
