What do you do about frayed organza ribbon??
Ribbons are often made in large quantities for ribbon showers and paper item decorations.
Tying each ribbon one by one can be quite a task, but do you pay attention to the "frayed threads at the ends" when making ribbons?
Once you've cut the ribbon with scissors, it inevitably frays from the ends over time....!
Satin ribbons or ribbons made from sturdy, heavy fabrics are not that prone to fraying, but
the popular organza ribbon for ribbon showers is a prime example of a material that frays easily.
Since it's made from thin threads woven together, it comes undone and frays quickly ><
[Video] An easy way to prevent ribbon fraying is with a candle!
A well-known method for preventing ribbon fraying is to "heat the ends of the cut ribbon with a lighter."
This method does ensure that the end threads melt together, so they won't fray anymore, but
if you have to deal with hundreds of ribbons for things like ribbon showers,
it can be a hassle to light the lighter each time, and it takes quite a bit of time.
That's why I recommend this:
