Raffia is a natural fiber which is striped from a type of palm tree. It has been used for weaving, as cord, and all kinds of arts and crafts.
\nWe like it for its natural feel and appearance and its easy to work with. <\/p>\n
Raffia is sold in most crafts type stores in bunches. Its hard to tell how much is in a bunch so unless the craft shop has a reasonable return policy you should probably start with one bunch, bring it home and take it apart.<\/p>\n
Use a piece of string to see how much raffia you will need to go around the box. Use the string as a guide as you separate the raffia into workable lengths.<\/p>\n

\nFor a twist use the natural color with a colored strand.
\nMost of the colors match perfectly well with our kraft colored wedding favor gift boxes.
\nThe raffia is easy to tie and durable so transporting the favors to the reception hall should not be a problem.
