FAQs
Can this ribbon be used outdoors?
Yes, as polypropylene is water-resistant, it can be used for outdoor decorations, though it should be sheltered from extreme weather.
Is the red color prone to bleeding?
No, the color is chemically bonded to the polypropylene, making it colorfast under normal conditions.
How many yards are in the total pack?
Each pack includes two reels, each containing approximately 100 yards, for a total of 200 yards.
Can I use this for fabric sewing projects?
This ribbon is designed for decorative crafts and gift wrapping, not as a substitute for fabric trim in garment sewing.
Does it come with a dispenser?
The ribbon is provided on standard plastic reels; no additional mechanical dispenser is required.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon tangling during dispensing
Ensure the ribbon is pulled from the edge of the reel at a consistent tension rather than letting the reel spin freely.
Ribbon is difficult to curl
Ensure the scissor blade is held at a 45-degree angle against the non-shiny side of the ribbon and apply light, steady pressure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High value with 200 total yards of ribbon included
- Material is resistant to moisture and fraying

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, keep the ribbon on the provided reel until you are ready to cut. Use sharp scissors for a clean, non-jagged edge to prevent potential unraveling. Store the unused ribbon in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the red color. Because the material is polypropylene, it is generally water-resistant and can be used for light outdoor decorating; however, high winds or extreme temperatures may eventually affect the material's structural durability.
