If you're like me, the Christmas tree is only one part of your holiday decor. There are so many ways to make the tree itself look good—you can use different kinds of lights or hang baubles on it, for example. But what about adding ribbons to your tree? Ribbons can add a beautiful touch and make your Christmas decor stand out even more. Here are some ways you can use decorative Christmas ribbons:
- Attach the ribbon to the bottom of the branches
You can attach the ribbon to the bottom of your branches. There are several different ways you can do this, depending on which one you're most comfortable with.
- Glue gun
- Stapler (or other strong stapling device)
- Nail and hammer
- Use ribbons to outline the shape of your tree
Ribbons can be used to create a border around the tree, or even to outline the shape of your Christmas tree. If you have an artificial tree, this is an easy way to make it look more festive!
To do this, simply cut out ribbons in varying lengths and colors (we recommend using at least two different colors). Then use them to outline your tree's branches as well as its trunk. You can also use them to create a wreath form around each branch if you want even more ornamentation on top of what you've already done!
- Form bows or spirals around your tree
- Form bows or spirals around your tree: Use the ribbons to create bows and spirals. You can also use them to make other shapes, like stars or hearts.
- Create a pattern: Tie some of the ribbons together in a pattern, such as roses or Xs. Then hang them on your tree!
- Wrap large ribbons around the entire tree
This is one of the easiest ways to decorate a Christmas tree. All you need is a variety of ribbons, in different colors and types. You can use satin, grosgrain and velvet; wide ribbons; thick ribbons or thin ones; shiny ones or matte ones. The possibilities are endless!
You can use ribbons to make your Christmas tree extra beautiful
You can use ribbons to make your Christmas tree extra beautiful. Ribbons are an easy way to add color and texture to a plain-looking tree, and they're also great for making bows!
To start, decide how you want your ribboned Christmas tree to look. Do you want it to be outlined with a single color of thick ribbon? Or do you want multiple colors that create patterns on the trunk? Once this is decided, cut strips of fabric in various widths (1/2 inch wide works well) and lengths (about 12 inches long). Next take a needle and thread and sew one side of each strip together so they form one long piece of fabric with two open ends.
