Copper sits between orange and brown, and satin sheen really does make it look metallic. Depending on the light it reads lighter or darker.
A smooth satin ribbon in 100 % polyester, 15 mm wide, sold from 0.2 metres. Glossy face, matt back — you can use either side deliberately. Washing, ironing, bleaching, tumble drying are all ruled out by its care symbols. When cutting, an angled cut pays off: that end threads more easily, fraying less. Because polyester takes up hardly any moisture, your ribbon never stretches as you tie, so loops will not sag.
What Satinband 15mm Kupfer is suitable for
- Autumn wreaths, because this shade suits dried flowers.
- Festive bows, because that shimmer reads refined.
- Pairings with dark green, because both stay rich.
Frequently asked questions
Does this ribbon fray when cut?
A cut edge can work loose. Hold that end briefly to a flame, so it seals cleanly. On natural fibres use a narrow fold or a zigzag stitch across the edge instead.
Will this shade suit my fabric?
Hold your ribbon right against your fabric — screens show colour differently. On patterned cloth, pick up one of its smaller colours, so your ribbon reads as an addition rather than a break.
How do I tie a bow that holds?
Make both loops the same length, pull your knot tight, then straighten the loops. On smooth satin a knot slips easily — a drop of fabric glue inside it keeps everything in place.
Can I thread it through eyelets?
Yes, as long as your eyelet is wider than your ribbon. Cut that end at an angle and seal it briefly, so threading goes easier without fraying on the way through.
