It's a 15mm wide zig zag wave - 10mm if measured across the cut end.
Sew onto a garment as an embellishment, trim a hem or seam, glue it onto a craft or scrapbook project such as a tablecloth, hand towel, baby bag, sewing box or apron or use it to tie around napkins, favour boxes or bags etc
100% Polypropylene - not suitable for very hot ironing as it may cause the ribbon to shine
I have:
2 reels each of Yellow, Hot Pink, Orange & Turquoise
1 reel each of White & Red
$22 per reel
10mm RicRac usually sells for $2.50 - $3.50 per metre so buying a reel like this is a great saving.
Pickup or could deliver if within Palmerston North. Can send via courier also $6 urban, $9.50 rural (can fit 10+ reels in a courier bag)

The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!

Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
