Chenille Stems (Pipe Cleaners) folia 9 mm x 50 cm, 10 pieces, colored

Colored chenille stems (pipe cleaners) folia 9 mm x 50 cm, pack of 10 pieces. These craft stems combine a flexible metal core with a soft, furry polyester covering in assorted colors. Each stem measures approximately 9 mm in diameter and 50 cm in length, making them easy to bend, twist and shape for a wide range of craft and model-making tasks. The surface is suitable for gluing and wrapping, and stems can be trimmed with scissors for precise finishing.

Advantages

Chenille stems by folia provide a balance of flexibility and structural integrity: the internal wire holds shapes well while the polyester pile delivers a soft, tactile finish. The stems are reusable and retain bends without excessive spring-back, allowing repeated adjustments during assembly. Their brightly colored coating improves visibility and decorative appeal, and the material trims cleanly for accurate fitting into small or detailed projects.

Suitable for

• Children’s DIY and school craft projects
• Model making and miniature construction
• Floral arrangements and bouquet finishing
• Decorations, garlands and seasonal ornaments
• Wire fastening, wrapping and small repairs

Key specifications

• Diameter: approximately 9 mm

• Quantity: 10 pieces per pack
• Covering: soft polyester pile
• Core: flexible metal wire for bending and holding shapes

How to use

Cut stems to the required length with household scissors or craft snips, then bend and twist to form loops, stems or structural connections. For attachment, wrap the chenille stem around components or secure ends by twisting; use glue or tape for permanent joins. Combine multiple stems for thicker supports or braid several together to increase rigidity. When used with floral foam or paper constructions, insert stems gently to avoid tearing the base material.

Usage recommendations

Store stems in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and pile texture. Keep out of reach of very young children without supervision due to the wire core. For cleaner edges when cutting, use sharp scissors and protect work surfaces to avoid fraying the polyester covering.
