• Loading the Ribbon Dispenser

1. Use the best-selling ribbon colors: white, red, blue, light blue, light pink, purple, yellow, and black. 2. Place spools on the dispenser with all ribbon feeding up through the center of the rack. There is a guide hole for each spool of ribbon. (See illustration #2) 3. Rubber bands (included) prevent the spools from free spinning and hold the ribbon in place. Stretch the rubber bands over the spools’ arms using one band for every two spools.

• Use your dispenser as a balloon holder. The weight of the rack will hold inflated balloons until needed.

• Use the attached ribbon cutter and replace it regularly. A sharp blade increases productivity.
