Ribbon - Premium Wire Edge Single-faced Satin - 63mm - Light Silver

A wide ribbon with a wire in its edge

The wire is the secret. Tie a bow, curve the loops, and the ribbon keeps its shape, so your bows look full and neat instead of flat and floppy. At 63mm, it’s a wide ribbon, which makes it good for big, dramatic bows, and for wrapping and decorating where you want impact.

Shine, on one side

This ribbon is single faced satin, so the front has the glossy, light-catching finish and the back is plainer. That’s worth knowing when you plan a bow, because the shiny side is the one to show. It’s polyester, so it holds its colour and shape well.

What to use it for

• Gift wrapping: big bows and toppers on parcels, boxes and hampers
• Decorating: bows for chairs, stair rails, doors and party tables
• Wreath making: loops, tails and swags worked into a wreath
• Cake decorating: a ribbon around the cake board or the base of a cake, kept off the icing and sponge, as it isn’t food-safe
• General crafting: cards, scrapbooking, hair bows, favours and handmade gifts

Tips for working with wired ribbon

• Show the shiny satin side on the front of your bow, as the back is plainer
• Cut the ends at an angle or into a V for a neat finish
• Shape the loops by hand, and pull the wire gently to adjust the curve
• Use floristry wire or a pipe cleaner to hold a bow in place, and keep the ribbon’s own wire for shaping
• Store it flat or on its roll, so the wire doesn’t kink
