DIY belly band - what did you use to attach?

I'm headed to Michaels today to find some ribbon or something to make belly bands. Has anyone done this and can give me advice about what you attached the 2 pieces in the back with? Glue dots, hot glue? Thanks!

    I ended up getting some ribbon and glue dots. The make ones that are an inch long line of glue dot, I figured that would be best with the ribbon. AC Moore didn't have an amazing selection of ribbon, so I may check out what Amazon has.

    They aren't necessary, but the invitations looked incomplete. I made up a template of a belly band and I liked it much more, so I figured I could do it much cheaper than ordering them online.

    @Samantha I love yours! I may have to go back and get some card stock instead!

    When I saw bellyband, I automaticly thought of the band you wear while you're pregnant because that's what they're called, lmao.

    I was thinking to myself "why would you make one of those on you're own?"

    I can't find the invitation thing called anything else lol

    Are there other names for them? When I first started on WW I saw them called that. I didn't even know belly bands for invitations were a thing.

    If I search belly band without invitation I do get those pregnancy bands lol
