A smart material that goes by many different names
Velcro®, self-adhesive straps, ribbon or Velcro tape; it goes by many different names. Whatever you prefer to call this useful material, there is no doubt that it is a highly effective solution when it comes to sticking things, such as fabric, together.
The adhesive Velcro consists of two sides; hook and loop. The hook side consists of several small hooks, while the loop side consists of little tiny hairs. The Velcro straps work by the small hooks gripping onto the hairs when pressing the two different sides together. When you shop for Velcro online, it is therefore always a good idea to make sure that you order both sides.
On this page, you will find our wide selection of Velcro straps in different versions. We offer, among other things, loop, hook, Velcro tape rolls and self-adhesive dots. We will surely be able to provide just the type of Velcro you are looking for for your next hobby project.
The smart Velcro straps are used all the time in everyday life
It is not only children's shoes and sneakers where the velcro straps come in handy. You will find that the Velcro is used for several different things in our everyday lives. For instance, the cushions in your sofa or decorative pillows may possibly be attached with adhesive Velcro tape on the inside.
In addition, there are many clever ideas for how you can use Velcro to make your everyday life a little easier. We are all familiar with the fact that the British summer can be a fickle concept. The weather can shift in an instant and you can easily get rainy and windy periods between the lovely summer days. In those cases, it's nice that be assured that the tablecloth will remain securely on the garden table. Luckily, you are able to attach it quickly and easily with self-adhesive Velcro tape, so you don't have to worry about your tablecloth flying away when the British summer winds blow.
Keep your Velcro straps fresh and binding with some simple cleaning
If you find that your Velcro starts to let go too easily and is no longer binding as it should, then don’t worry. The tape just needs a bit ofcleaning and then it will be as good as new. The easiest way to keep the Velcro strap clean is by keeping the strap closed with the sides pressed together when it's not in use.
You can also rub the two hook sides together, ie. the rough side with the hooks on, after which you can easily clean the tape with your fingers. The soft loop side may sometimes need to be 'straightened out', and you can do this using a comb. That way, you can brush the little hairs and make them into little fine loops again.
It is also possible to wash the velcro® itself with mild soap and warm water. This will help remove dust from the soft side as well as remove any unwanted smells from the Velcro.
Sew beautiful creations with Velcro and ribbon
If you are going to make Halloween outfits or another type of costume, you can easily use Velcro for the closures. Oftentimes the costumes are going to be worn outside of a coat or jacket when the little ones are going around trick or treating. Therefore, it's nice if the costume is easy to take off again without too much hassle.
There may not be many who know about velcro ribbons, but it is a kind of edging you can sew on the sides to make them stronger. For example, if you have a costume made of tulle, it is will be difficult to sew adhesive Velcro on it. You can then strengthen the edge by sewing a ribbon on first.
However, you can also use ribbon for your tea towels, where you can use the straps to make a small loop to hang the up tea towel. If you have lost the string in your hoodie, you can also easily replace it with a ribbon. You simply pass the tape through the cap with a straw or safety pin. In general, it is only the imagination that sets the limits of how you want to use the effective velcro strap and ribbon!
Inspiration on self-adhesive Velcro for fabric
There is really no limit to what you can use Velcro for today, and it is actually a really useful material in our everyday lives. For instance, when it comes to tidying up the children's room, it's great to get the kids involved in a fun and easy way. Soft toys often lie floating around all over the floor, but if you sew a small patch with velcro® on the back of the toy and put the other part up on the wall, your kids will easily be able to put the toy back in its place. It makes tidying up more manageable and fun for the smaller kids.
The adhesive Velcro can also be used in the office or in the hobby room. If you put the Velcro on the wall, you can use it to keep track of pencils, ballpoint pens or other office supplies that are often just scattered around on the table. All you have to do is make small loops with the Velcro itself, and you will have a really good system for keeping track of all your office supplies.
You can also use the self-adhesive Velcro to keep track of your remote controls. By placing one part on your TV, or under the coffee table, and the other side on the remote control, your remote will never go lost again.
