Maybe attach a picture hanger on the back of the letter and run the ribbon through that?

To do my babies room I used a staple gun and stapled the ribbon to the back the letter. I stapled the ends of the ribbon to the letter at an angle and then hooked the ribbon over a nail on the wall.

I can tell you what NOT to do - 30 years ago I glued (white stuff) my grandson's name to a painted wall and it is still there today, several coats of paint later. I think the letters will take out the bit of wall behind them if they are removed.

What I do for my woodburnings, which is the same general idea, is to attach a picture hanger on the back using mini nails that are supplied. You can get them in any hardware department, even at Walmart. They are easy to use and unseen once hung. Hope this helps.
