How do you get those ribbons to stick? I would love to do those for my two girls but I don't know how to make it stick!

I use a Xyron adhesive applicator. It's a small x-shaped tool that has rolls of sheet adhesive. Anything run through it becomes a sticker, essentially. I run the ribbon through that. But heavy-duty adhesive runners should work, too.

Thanks Noora! I've got several photos too that I'll try to post in the next day or so. My teammate and I did a booth this past weekend and we both put several things together (got the ideas from PC Holiday themes/photos). I also did HeatherB's idea of the Cookie Press on the Cookie sheet, with all the discs layed out, and put a big red-ribbon around it. I got LOTS of questions about using the Cookie Press because of that (thankfully, I had successfully conquered it the day before!).
 
Did you sell a lot. I have a crafts fair coming up but wasn't going to do all the cute ribbons. If it's appealing perhaps it increases sales. Hmmmmm....BEE

Nope....I wasn't trying to sell the gifts themselves of course, but I never have sales at a booth (or not more than 1 or 2 and usually from a nearby vendor who has nothing to do all day but browse through a catalog they got from me). I was going for bookings.Now, we did actually do fairly well. My teammate had 6 possible bookings for the coming Dec/Jan. I have 4 plus 2 other things (wedding registry, order, etc) to follow up on and try to get dates on the calendar (they were maybe's). The gifts themselves didn't really make anyone's engine 'purr' so to speak....no one said "OOOHHH>.I could give THAT for Christmas!" But it looked nice, and lots of conversations were had about specific products.
 
I did the brownie batter bowls this past weekend - a lot of great comments and a lot of people loved them, but no buyers.

I had one large bar pan, two spices, 3 can strainers, 3 season's best, and 2 boxes of snowman appetizer plates sell C&C in addition to one DCB, four scrappers, and two mix & chops.
