Instead of trying to cut out the mug handle, use the large oval punch.
Adhere sticky strip to the left, right and bottom of the mug. This will allow for your contents to stay securely inside the pouch without falling out.
Use your paper-piercing tool to make a hole to put your brad through.
To attach the ribbon, use your glue dots. Before attaching the brad to the center of the ribbon. Use wire cutters or your craft scissors to remove the back of the brads. Attach the brad to the ribbon with glue dots
