Learn how to make a wearable red awareness ribbon with HIV advocate Muluba Habanyama. All you need is red ribbon and a small safety pin!
1. Cut a 6-inch piece of ribbon
Size doesn’t matter. We recommend a 6-inch cut on a 1/2-inch-wide ribbon, but any red ribbon and length will do!
2. Fold ribbon in half & glue to secure
Fold the ribbon on itself so it creates an inverted ‘v’ at the bottom. Use glue (stick or liquid) to hold the ribbon’s shape.
3. Use safety pin to affix ribbon
Pierce a small safety pin through the front and back again, and then affix to your clothes. Make some for friends & family!
