Perfect for bag making trim on tote straps, crossbody bag bands, and decorative gussets, this durable woven tape is equally stunning for pouches, wallets, coin purse construction, and bookbinding projects. Create textured book covers, junk journal spines, and layered paper accents. Even dollhouse enthusiasts will appreciate its authenticity as edging for 1:12 scale Japanese washitsu models and architectural dioramas. The clean finished edges require no fraying prevention, and the stiffness often eliminates the need for heavy interfacing in smaller projects.
