Product Information
Full details
The WeRChristmas Double-Sided Wired Velvet Ribbon in Sage Green is designed for crafters, home decorators, and gift-givers who want to add a touch of sophisticated, plush texture to their festive styling. Its primary benefit is the combination of a luxurious velvet finish on both sides with wired edges that make creating bows and structured shapes effortless. However, users should note that the wire edges, while providing great hold, require careful handling when cutting to ensure the internal wire does not fray the fabric.

FAQs
Can I use this ribbon outdoors?
This ribbon is intended primarily for indoor use. Outdoor conditions like rain or heavy wind may damage the velvet finish and cause the internal wire to rust.
Is the wire difficult to cut?
It is recommended to use sturdy wire cutters or sharp craft scissors. Regular paper scissors might struggle with the wire core.
How wide is the ribbon?
The ribbon measures 63mm in width.
How much ribbon is on one roll?
Each roll contains 9 metres of ribbon.
Is the velvet soft on both sides?
Yes, it is double-sided, meaning both sides feature the same plush velvet texture.
Can I wash the ribbon?
No, washing is not recommended as it will likely damage the internal wiring and compromise the velvet texture.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon edges are fraying after cutting
Ensure you are using a sharp pair of fabric shears and cut the wire and fabric in one clean motion. Avoid using household scissors that may be dull.
The ribbon feels crushed or flat
Gently steam the ribbon from a distance to fluff up the velvet pile, but be careful not to touch the iron directly to the material as it may damage the velvet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your ribbon, unspool only the amount needed for your current task to keep the remaining roll clean. When shaping the ribbon, handle it gently; while the wire is sturdy, excessive bending and unbending in the same spot can eventually lead to wire fatigue. To store the ribbon, roll it tightly around a cardboard tube or keep it in its original packaging to prevent the velvet from being crushed. Keep the ribbon away from direct heat sources and moisture, as excessive humidity can affect the velvet finish. If the edges fray after cutting, you can neatly fold the ends under or use a small amount of fabric adhesive to secure the stray threads.
