How do you cut wire edge ribbon?
Using strong scissors, cut a wedge out of the center of the ribbon along the fold, being careful not to cut the wired edges of the ribbon. Ideally the wedge should be about 1/2” deep and leave about 1/4” of ribbon next to the wired edges. You may need to fold in both directions and cut from each side.
How do you cut silk ribbon?
Measure the silk fabric to the desired width, and use sharp scissors to cut a 1-2 inch slit in the spot where you want to tear the ribbon. At the spot where you cut the silk, begin pulling the silk apart. The silk will naturally tear a straight edge along the grain of the fabric to make a long ribbon.
