Gather These Supplies
I prefer cardstock because of the thickness and stability.
You have several options for attaching the ends of the paper to each other to create the loops.
The most common areadhesive dots, glue, and a stapler.
The Glue Dots, oradhesive dots, are great because they are no mess and you cant see them.
Theyre easy to apply.
Theyre probably the most expensive of the options, and not that expensive.
Glue is another option and great if youre doing this with kids.
it’s possible for you to use liquid glue or glue sticks.
Finally, you could always use a stapler if youre desperate.
