Rayon Raffia garland, handmade. DIY, decorate your gifts, home,theme events. Eco-friendly & biodegradable material... Raffia is a fiber that can be woven like straw, tied like silk ribbons, or packed like Styrofoam pills. Milliners, crafters, and florists enjoy using the grass-like material for a variety of projects and gifts. When intertwined to form a loose fabric, raffia weaves into straw hats for gardening, squares for place mats, or a matte for the background of a framed photograph. Gift bags made from woven raffia allow you a subtle peak into the contents, whether they are wrapped chocolates or seashells. Shredded fiber can line Easter baskets or a tray of decorative gourds.
