Awards: 3/16" Bronze Star

The small bronze star comes with two small "pins" on the back side for attachment to ribbons. The ribbons, as you may know, have a slot in the metal backing slot is there so that you can pierce the ribbon with the pins, and on the back side of the ribbon, bend the pins down to hold the star in place. I think one useful suggestion is to make sure the pins are straight and parallel - but be GENTLE, they are very skinny, and breakable. Once straight and parallel, you can pierce the ribbon, and then again GENTLY bend those pins down on the back of the ribbon to hold in place. Another tip - usually you can line up the pins such that the star's top point is up, and two points down, and straightly aligned on the ribbon. Your pins might have to go in other than lined up to achieve the final desired result. JUST BE GENTLE and you'll be okay. Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS on your performance which earned an award!

A little difficult to place
