Unlike flimsy satin or grosgrain, this durable edge binding holds its shape beautifully, making it the ideal width and stiffness for crafting tote bag straps, crossbody bag straps, decorative gussets, zip pouches, coin purses, and cardholders with crisp, professional finishes. The long woven ribbon trim edges are perfectly finished and will not fray; cut ends can be easily folded in, bound with bias tape, or carefully heat-sealed. Junk journal spine work, bookbinding accents, and even 1:12 scale Japanese washitsu dioramas and architectural models benefit from this authentic, heavyweight material.
