Try spray glue for the organza, and I believe you can sort of melt the fraying ends by placing it near (not on!) a candle.
There is something called Fray Check that is good for loose ends. It helps the ends from unraveling. I work as a costume designer for theater, and this stuff always works great for me!
I knew I could count on all the other bee's to help me out:)
Thanks so much ladies!!!
Hope it works out for you! Come show us what they look like when they're done! :)
You could possible try Zots, with it being kind of sheer, I'm on the fence to say if it would work or not. But in terms of the lesser of two evils (one being messy glue that is noticable, the zot would produce a small little bubble and may give a cleaner look.
Good Luck!

I ordered my STD's from WeddingPaperDivas.com and love the way they look. But, as a creative person, I really wanted to (more like NEED to) add my own personal touch to them. So, I decided I wanted to add some sort of belly band or ribbon bow, etc. I first did a combo of organza ribbon and raffia but seriously- this is an overly ambitious project. I spent 1 1/2 hours last night on them and got 11 done...only 80 more to go! So then I decided I wanted to do a simple ribbon band running across the horizontal center of the STD & the separate hotel info enclosure. Simple right? Well, since my ribbon is organza (and the color is PERFECT so the ribbon cannot change!), it's sheer. So, not only do the ends fray, but the fabric glue I bought ends up looking messy on it and I can't get a clean finish:( Does anyone have any suggestions/advice on how to do this? Or do I just give up and wait to adorn the actual invitations?
