Continue Adding Lines of Glue + Ribbon
Add a line of fabric glue a few inches down from the previous ribbon (Image 1). Add the ribbons in a random pattern on each curtain. Stick on a fun, patterned ribbon onto the line of glue (Image 2). As you move down the curtain, push the top up on the table into a bunch (Image 3). Keep adding lines of glue and ribbons until you reach halfway down the curtain (Image 4).
