We are just a few weeks away from the holidays. Rather than ornaments, glittery lights, and popcorn strings, use festive ribbons in red, green, and gold hues.
Ribbon Decorations: The Ultimate Guide for Elevating Your Artificial Christmas Tree
A few ribbons tied around your tree can add a little flair. Plus you can choose from an array of ribbon types, each for a different purpose.
This holiday season, be sure to style your artificial Christmas tree with ribbons by using the following tips:
1. Prepare your tree
Before adding a ribbon to your tree, make sure it is set up properly. Be sure to fluff your artificial Christmas tree and plug in the lights. Live Christmas trees, on the other hand, should be watered well and have all of their lights on.
2. Make the right choice of ribbon
Your tree’s ribbon should be patterned and of a specific type. Wired ribbons can be used all year round because they maintain their shape. The thicker ribbons (2 to 5 inches) fit easily into gap between trees of all sizes and won’t fall off the branches.
3. Layer Your Ribbons
Layering ribbons will lead to a more diverse and fuller look than using just one material, style, or color.
4. Tuck and Twist
If you are looking for a simple DIY decorating tip, you can tie ends of ribbon together using a floral wire or pipe cleaners. Twist the end deeply into the tree, then around an inner branch, and return to the beginning point.
5. Pick Your Ribbon Technique
You can then pick a pattern that interests you, whether S-shaped, zig-zag, or designer.
6. Take a Step Back from the Tree
Once a while, step back and assess your tree’s design. By doing so, you can see problems in your design from a different perspective and rework them accordingly.
