Are people using ribbon to decorate the tiers? What is the best way to attach it?

We used wide ribbon around the tiers and made a little ribbon "poof" at the top. Also made a little skirt of matching fabric to go around the base. Kind of like a mini Christmas tree skirt. I used double stick tape to hold it in place. Worked great, looked great!

I never seem to have double sided tape so I actually used hot glue a few times, and it comes off no problem.

Yes from what I seen. When I use ribbon I get wallsaver removable mounting tape or 2 sided scotch tape.

I put mine together at home simply because I wrapped it and attached ribbon to the borders to jazz it up a little. I also applied clear glue to the connecting parts to make sure it stayed together. I made it to the celebration site with no problem. I also had the room in my SUV to transport it.

Yes it all comes in pieces! :) the tubes are sepret from the plates that holds the cake you must assemble and the fittings are all the same size so you can mix and match as you like. The one EXCEPTION is the bottom tier it stands on its own feet about an inch tee I'm the table so if you plan on using the smaller tiers as the bottom you will have to place on the larger plate or place small feet on the bottom of the other plates EASY FIX use four large marbles and super glue them to bottom of tier allowing for stability;) good luck also you can put lights and decor in the riser tubes it looks awesome Yes it all comes in pieces! :) the tubes are sepret from the plates that holds the cake you must assemble and the fittings are all the same size so you can mix and match as you like.

I used this for standard/regular sized cupcakes - aprox 120. Yes, you can put together without all the tiers. I have used the first 3 tiers for smaller parties and it worked fine. Easy to clean with a damped cloth. Love this product, worth the purchase. Hope I was able to answer your questions.

No tacky at all. I did add ribbons and stickers for the holidays, but they look nice sans decorations. I also love the remote function so I was able to light without lifting the candles.

They all have an opening at the top that can be used to hang them. We used fishing line to hang from the trees for a wedding, but you could use ribbon or colored string for a different look. Hope that helps

This is great for holding ribbon, I had thought about using it for that, too. The reason I abandoned the idea is because the ribbons unwound too easily. You might not mind this or have as much of a problem as I did. Go for it! :)

For temporary hanging, I hang mine with curling ribbon and tape them to the ceiling with scotch tape (taped in an X over the ribbon). I tie the ribbon to the hook at the top of the lantern and then tape the other end of the ribbon to the ceiling. They last for several days hung this way. The lanterns are light so the tape is all it takes to hang them as party decorations. I have textured walls and everything- scotch tape does the trick.

Hi Rob, I attached these lights directly to the bottom of some Kraftmaid cabinets. The cabinets have a very smooth polyurethane finish. The tape is separating in a few spots. They haven't fallen off, but I question it for the long-term. Another method would be to router a grove in the bottom of your railing and insert a mounting channel (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080IB4E0/ref=s9_simh_gw_p60_d2_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf;_rd_s=desktop-4&pf;_rd_r=1H5XQQDR5387MRXBZRFV&pf;_rd_t=36701&pf;_rd_p=1970566842&pf;_rd_i=desktop), and put the lights in there. Search for 'mounting channel' on Amazon and you will find some options. Good luck! Hi Rob, I attached these lights directly to the bottom of some Kraftmaid cabinets.

The only way we could attach them was by placing them above the door thus aligning them. I know some reviewers said their letters had matching holes but unfortunately we did not have the same experience so ours did not line up. I did not like how they looked hanging by ribbons.

Pretty good. I recommend you test it on a scrap piece first because it can be a little tricky threading thinner things. Ribbon and binding will sometimes twist if you're not careful but overall, it works well for embellishments.

No.. the tiers aren't wide enough to hold cupcakes in my opinion. you may end up getting frosting on the edges on the tier above. There are only 3 tiers and I don't think it will stand correctly if one tier is removed.

They come with directions, but you tie the string which is included to the inside hanger and then the other end to the ceiling with a tack. I some times use matching ribbon instead that I purchase, but still hangs the same way.

They are made of wood, about 5/8 inch thick. You could probably drill a small hole to thread a ribbon through.

I think it may depend on your calculator, but I just put one spool in ran the ribbon through the "track" like setup that it runs through to be used and placed the other spool on it's holder.

You can and if you want to dress it up a bit, you can tape or glue ribbon matching your color(s) around the edges. That's what a friend did when she borrowed them for a bridal shower
