FAQs
Is this raffia natural or synthetic?
This raffia is designed to offer the aesthetic and tactile properties of natural fibers, optimized for crafting and floristry.
Can I use this outdoors?
While it works well for outdoor seasonal decorations, please note that prolonged exposure to extreme weather may affect the appearance of the natural fibers.
How much does one bundle contain?
Each bundle contains 50g of high-quality raffia ribbon.
Is it safe to use on food items?
It is ideal for wrapping gift jars or decorative baskets, but it is not intended for direct contact with unpackaged food.
Can this be dyed?
The material is intended for use in its original state, which offers a neutral, versatile tone suitable for most color palettes.
Troubleshooting
The raffia is becoming tangled during use.
Always draw the raffia from the center of the bundle and avoid pulling too many strands at once.
The ends of the ribbon are fraying.
Use a sharp pair of fabric scissors to make a clean, swift cut; avoid using dull blades that tear the fibers.
The fibers feel too stiff.
The raffia may have dried out in storage; very lightly misting the strands with water can temporarily improve pliability.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent for both functional tying and decorative flourishes
- Compact, space-saving vacuum-sealed packaging
- Easy to cut to exact desired lengths

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the ribbon, carefully cut the vacuum-sealed packaging. It is recommended to pull the raffia from the center of the bundle to prevent the remaining strands from becoming a tangled mess. Keep the raffia in a cool, dry place to prevent the natural fibers from becoming brittle. If the strands become slightly wrinkled from storage, you can gently stretch them between your fingers to smooth them out before use. The ribbon is compatible with standard fabric scissors; keep your blades sharp to ensure a clean cut that prevents fraying at the ends.
