1 BUNDLEECO-FRIENDLY SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RAFFIA RUSTIC GIFT WRAP 1.76 OUNCES PHILLIPINES
Raffia fiber is widely used throughout the world
My personal favorite use is in place of synthetically produced & dyed ribbon for gift wrapping
These are generously sized at 50 grams of 1.76 ounces
available in 3 colors, with the number I have specified: soft brown (2), soft sage green (2) & soft orange (1) - PLEASE SPECIFY YOUR COLOR CHOICE
I always use more than one strand for gift wrap - I just think it looks better
I often use a separate bunch for the bow, as that can be added on last
If this sounds like more work than ribbon, it is...and is definitely better for the planet plus providing a more natural look
You will see listings that mention "raffia ribbon" - read these listings with care, as they may be referring to a synthetically produced ribbon that has the matte qualities of natural raffia
When presented on spool or hank with a length of more than one meter and a half and regular width is not really raffia, it can be synthetic raffia, produced from a plastic material (polypropylene), or artificial, just like viscose (derived from wood, therefore basic cellulose cellulosic even if chemically treated)
It is used in gift wrap, twine, rope, baskets, place mats, hats, shoes, and textiles
Raffia palms (Raphia) are a genus of about twenty species of palms native to tropical regions of Africa, and especially Madagascar plus the Phillipines, with one species (R. taedigera) also occurring in Central and South America
