This is fine knitted wire copper tube which naturally lays flat, but can be opened up into a tube with fantastic effect.
It reflects light well and can be used as you would a ribbon or foil strip. However as it is a tube, even in the lay-flat state it has a depth of perspective which single layer material just doesn't.
Open it up - much like you would a finger bandage - and it can be used in many other ways too.
The knitted threads can be put under tension / stretched apart or pushed together to create different effects.
The photo shows solid spheres, which are quite heavy, solely supported by the knitted tube - in defiance of gravity! The diameter of the spheres is around twice that of the lay-flat tube width.
The tube is very light-weight and it can be cut to length using kitchen scissors or shears.
It can be over-stretched, then creased, folded and scrunched to suit a multitude of design ideas in card/scrapbooking, floristry, presentation wrapping and jewellery-making.
