To mount onto a ribbon mounting bar you simply push the tape down ono the ribbon, to make sure it is secure, then peal off the double sided tape and push the two spikes through the matching holes on the ribbon mounting bar. Push the ribbon onto the bar and then bend over the two spikes on the back to secure it onto the mounting bar.
