FindTape Flower / Bouquet Stem Wrapping Tape: 1/2 in. x 30 yds. (Green) *4-pack

FindTape Flower / Bouquet Stem Wrapping Tape is a self-sealing floral stem wrap for corsages, wedding bouquet stems, floral novelties, and silk or dried flowers. The wax-based adhesive does not activate until the tape is stretched, so the roll stays clean and easy to handle.

The high-stretch backing means you use less tape per stem, and the tape bonds firmly to itself instead of to your fingers as you wrap. It is colorfast and will not bleed when damp flowers are assembled. The smooth, paper-like finish blends with natural foliage for a clean, professional look.

Pack includes: 4 rolls, 1/2 in. wide x 30 yds. long, green.

Common uses: wired stems for corsages, boutonnieres, wrist corsages, bridal bouquets, floral crowns, garlands, centerpieces, silk and dried arrangements.

1. Cut or tear a length of tape from the roll. The adhesive is not active until you stretch the tape, so the roll will not feel sticky.
2. Hold the end of the tape against the top of the stem or wire, just below the flower head, and pinch it in place with your thumb.
3. Gently stretch the tape between your fingers. Stretching warms the wax adhesive and activates the bond.
4. Wrap the stretched tape around the stem at a slight downward angle, overlapping each turn by about half the tape width as you spiral down.
5. Keep light tension on the tape so it continues to bond to itself with each wrap. The tape will not stick to your fingers.
6. Continue wrapping until the entire stem or wire is covered. To finish, stretch the final inch firmly and press it against the wrap so it self-seals.
7. To join multiple stems into a bundle, hold them together and wrap from the top of the bundle down to the cut ends in the same stretch-and-spiral motion.
8. Tear the tape by hand or trim with scissors. Smooth the tail with your fingertips to seal.

Tip: Warm hands help activate the adhesive faster. If the tape feels stiff, rub it briefly between your fingers before wrapping.
