Florist stem tape is used for binding fresh or dried flower stems. The roll is 27.5m long and 12mm wide. The purple floristry tape can be used for buttonholes, flower crowns and other dried flower projects. The purple colour makes it particularly useful for projects using lavender stems. The thin paper tape is rather like crepe paper, it is strong but can stretch tight around stems or wires where it seals itself together due to an integral wax layer that is not sticky to the touch. Floral tape can be torn to length making it quick to work with, and doesn't require separate adhesive.
