Product Information

Full details

The WeRChristmas Silver Double-Sided Wired Velvet Ribbon is designed for crafters, decorators, and holiday enthusiasts seeking a professional, luxurious finish for their festive displays. Its primary benefit is the combination of a plush, dual-sided velvet texture and integrated wire edges, which allow for structural shaping in bows and garlands. The main caveat to keep in mind is that the velvet material requires careful handling to maintain its texture and may be prone to snagging if pulled against rough surfaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the ribbon truly double-sided?

Yes, the ribbon is finished with velvet on both sides, ensuring a consistent look regardless of how you twist or loop it.

Can I use this outdoors?

While it can be used on covered porches, direct exposure to rain or snow may damage the velvet texture and cause the internal wire to rust over time.

How wide is the ribbon?

The ribbon measures 63mm in width, which is a standard size for large decorative bows and festive arrangements.

Is the wire inside the edges easily removable?

No, the wire is integrated into the manufacturing process and is not intended to be removed.

What is the best way to secure this to a tree?

You can use green floral wire or ornament hooks to attach sections of the ribbon to the branches of your tree.

Does the silver finish rub off?

The metallic finish is embedded in the fabric's aesthetic, so it is durable and will not flake off during normal use.

Troubleshooting

Ribbon edges are fraying after being cut

Use sharp fabric-specific scissors and apply a tiny amount of clear fabric sealant or fray-check to the very end of the cut.

The bow shape is sagging

Ensure you have twisted the ribbon sufficiently at the center point and pull the wire outward to re-stiffen the loop structure.

Velvet texture looks flattened

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently agitate the velvet fibers or hold it briefly over a steamer to help the pile stand up again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Plush, luxury aesthetic with double-sided velvet
  • Easy to shape and hold thanks to wired edges
  • Generous 9m length covers multiple projects
  • Versatile width suitable for diverse decorative applications

Cons

  • Velvet can attract dust and lint if stored improperly
  • Wired edges may kink if folded too sharply
  • Not suitable for machine washing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start by cutting the ribbon with sharp fabric scissors to prevent fraying at the edges. When creating bows, gently pull on the internal wire to adjust the fullness of each loop.

Compatibility: This ribbon is compatible with standard floral wire, ornament hooks, and craft adhesives if you wish to attach it to specific hard surfaces.

Care Instructions:

  1. Keep in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use to maintain the velvet's plush texture.
  2. Avoid direct heat sources near the ribbon to prevent the wired structure from warping.
  3. If the velvet gets compressed during storage, gently steam it from a distance to restore the pile.
  4. Do not submerge or machine wash, as this will damage the internal wire and velvet finish.
