I got a ribbon 7/8 inches wide.

The heat n bond has two sides. Make sure to put the rough looking side facing the inside if the ribbon. Line up the ribbon & the heat n bond & when you are ready press the iron for 2 seconds on them.

Make sure the iron is set to medium. You can use pins to hold the ribbon in place as you fuse the ribbon with heat n bond. Do this process until you have fused all the ribbon.

Before you lay the ribbon on top of the pants to fuse it, you will need to peel off the other side of the heat n bond. You'll see a shiny sticky side. You'll want to lay this shiny side on the pants.
