Step 5Ribbon Prep
Again, you can select the ribbon style and color of your choice. I've used school colors very effectively for department medals.
Cut the ribbon 2 1/2" long. Alright, it's a little short in the picture. It'll work fine. Roll the ribbon lengthwise and insert it through a ring stopping not quite half-way.
Flatten out the ribbon and fold the short side up to within 1/4" of the top of the long side. A drop of hot glue will hold this in place and keep the front from pulling away while hanging. Then a bead of glue to fold the 1/4" flap down giving a nice clean top to the ribbon. Another bead of glue on top of the folded flap will be the seat for the pin-back. You can orient the pin for righties or lefties. I'm a rightie so I have the hinge on the right and clasp on the left.
