Hopefully someone has an answer
 

I'm trying to help my aunt with this question. She was in a store at Christmas an saw the beautiful NEW ribbon. She said it was used from making balloons to decorating wreaths tress mantels to tiny fill ins. Said she saw it in gold and silver and it was 10.00.She doesn't know what its called or where she saw it.(she thinks Michaels). Can you help us locate it and what it is called???????? MANY MANY THANKS!!!!!

Did you search on the Michaels website? Maybe that can help you, or maybe call them.

was it flat like regular ribbon? There was a "ribbon" years ago that had chenelle bumps every few inches or so on it and you could use it to do the things you mentioned. Could this be what she is talking about?

No sorry it wasn't like that but thanks!!!

I called mine here in Mich. but they were not really updated !!!

The ribbon itself will make a balloon?

It's not new, but I wonder if what she saw was wire-edged ribbon. This comes in many widths and colors, including silver and gold. There is a very fine wire, usually at both edges of the ribbon, that allow you to manipulate it and it will keep its form. If you Google "wire ribbon" and then click on "images", you will find lots of examples of different ways it can be used.

Sounds just like what she was trying to discribe to me !!!!!!! I'll try our walmart ours is so small not sure they'll have it though!!! Thankyou so much now if I can find out whats its called!!!!!

hobby lobby had it at Christmas as well!
