I think I wanna give this as a gift for my friend that has a baby for her diaper bag so she can feed him wherever and carry his baby utensils. but I do have a question. will the ribbon unravel when you wash it? is that a special ribbon you use?
ERIKA802 2 months ago
@ERIKA802 Sounds like a great idea! The only parts of the ribbon that will unravel are the ends. SInce one end is inside the placemat you don't have to worry about it. All you have to do is either burn or seal the end that will be exposed on the other end of the ribbon. If you use a polyester ribbon you can quickly run a lighter across the tip and it will melt and fuse the fibers on the end and will keep it from fraying. There is also a product called Fray Check you can use.
