I want to show you how I use them and maybe spark your imagination.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with our newest addition: Wired Burlap Ribbon. It comes in six earthy colors including my favorite for the upcoming holidays: Red. As you can see from the picture, it makes big showy bows! I like to fringe the edges of both our burlap ribbons, also known as jute. With the wired burlap, I cut the wire off both sides as far up as I want my fringe to be, then just pull out the threads and I&#8217;m done.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9008 size-full\" title=\"fringe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/fringe.jpg\" alt=\"Burlap ribbon fringe\" width=\"480\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/fringe.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/fringe-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/fringe-24x9.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/fringe-36x13.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.nashvillewraps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/fringe-48x18.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the wired burlap is just as pretty if you leave it straight or cut at an angle too. To prevent any fraying, you might put on a little Fray Stop liquid. This ribbon is a good one for home d\u00e9cor too &#8211; it would be wonderful on a wreath or as a tie back for window treatments in a contrasting color.

I rarely tie bows with it, although it is pretty that way. I like to knot it and fringe it. I appreciate the simplicity of this technique. The addition of chopsticks or botanicals to the knot would create an even better presentation. Tuck some bamboo spikes into a grouping of Orchids for a spectacular floral arrangement with this burlap tie attached. For something a little simpler, look at this bouquet of daffodils we found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/155514993353122074\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinterest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All you need to do to make a fringe on this natural burlap ribbon is to cut the end and pull out as many threads as you like.
