Crafty Brides, how do you glue so straight????

Is there a trick or do you just eyeball it?

I haven't done anything yet but just know it will be a sticky disaster.

Gluing ribbons, labels onto favor boxes, gluing labels onto out of town boxes, gluing invitations, etc.

lables are pre-glued, i used a ruler to help me place them straight.

invitations: i used spray adhesive for that.

ribbons: i glued to itself and just followed the line of the paper.

if you need more help, when you're diy-ing things, fm me

I've always been a person that just uses my eyes for everything...but sometimes just using a ruler and marking a straight line that say one edge of your ribbon will line up with helps...just keep the pencil mark so it sits right under the edge of the ribbon...paper corner whatever it may be

This just can be quite tedious if you are making a large number
