    Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
    Q: Serena asked: "I would like to know how to make holes in ribbon for things like brads without ripping or wrecking the ribbon? Thanks."
    A: Brush Fraycheck® or even just clear nail polish over the ribbon before you punch the hole. That should stop your ribbon from ripping.
