Would like to trade lovely rich gold velvet cording
I'll bet you could braid three of them together, put beads at the ends and use as belts, even as hat bands. It looks really nice (both colors).
i could forsee wreath making ideas for these also...
Is it sew on cording with the edge to sew it on?
no this is decorative cording.....to embellish thins with....about a 1/2 wide; i was going to use for package wrapping
Also, what about for making curtain ties by braiding several double strands together...okay, I'll stop now..lol.

i think u neeeeeeddddthem; just send some lileys and we will be ever so happy (grin)
Hi Sticks,
I wish I could use them, my sewing room is FULL to the hilt. I just started with lillies a couple of months ago. I was trying to get ideas for you. You could cut them up in sections and use them to tie the Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree. Or as ties for the presents (any occasion).
you must be just as drawn to these as i am...i need them not...but they are so flipping gorgeous....elegant presents....lovley ties on ornaments or wreaths...or cover the tree with them...as garland or bows....wouldnt the
blue be fabulous on silver wrapped packages?
Yes, these sure would. There is always a use for things.. I save EVERYTHING. Just about. Maybe you could crochet some fancy placemats with them for the holidays. That's an idea. Once I used this thick rope to make a rug with a crochet needle the size of Texas..lol.
