FAQs
Is this raffia waterproof?
No, it is made of paper and will break down if exposed to water or high humidity.
Can I use this for outdoor decorations?
It is intended for indoor use. Outdoor exposure will likely result in damage due to wind, rain, or humidity.
Is the material stiff or soft?
It has a soft, pliable texture that is very easy to shape while still maintaining enough body to hold a decorative bow.
Does the 30m length come as one continuous piece?
Yes, the product is supplied as a single continuous 30m spool.
What is the best way to attach this to a card?
Standard craft glue, double-sided tape, or glue dots work effectively with this material.
Troubleshooting
The raffia is fraying at the cut end.
Use a sharp pair of scissors to ensure a clean cut, or apply a very small amount of clear craft adhesive to the tip to seal the fibers.
The bow does not hold its shape.
Ensure you are using a double knot or a small dab of glue to secure the center of the bow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Eleganza Paper Raffia, simply unwind the desired length from the spool and cut with standard craft scissors. When creating bows, pull the ribbon taut to ensure a crisp knot. For long-term preservation, store the spool in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as intense UV exposure may cause the light pink color to fade over time. Keep the product away from liquids and high humidity, as paper raffia will absorb moisture, lose its structural integrity, and potentially tear.
