Create a level 1 Thaumaturgy Circle. Hold the object in both hands and silently focus on it for 60 seconds. Take the twine and wrap the object in the twine, symbolically tying it up. After it is tied, recite the following 3 times:

"Spirits of silence,

Only your power,

Use this parcel,
to find my target’s voice.
Remove his power,
to defame my name by choice."

On a white 3x5 card, write the following:

Ritual: Bind the Accusing Tongue
Target: (Target's name)
Caster: (Your name)
Begin Time: (Current time and date)
Duration: 24 hours.
Effect: For the duration, the target is mystically unable communicate negatively about the caster. This includes explicit and implied negativity, and includes all forms of communication, including written and telepathy. 

Writing the 3x5 card is part of casting the ritual, and it should not be made in advance. Give the card to the target as soon as possible. The caster must keep the focus object on their person. The ritual will immediately end if the twine is removed from the focus object. If that happens, the caster must inform the target as soon as possible.
