Ribbons can add a festive and elegant touch to your Christmas tree. Here’s how to beautifully drape ribbon on your tree for a stunning holiday display.
Materials Needed
- Ribbon of choice (wired or non-wired)
- Scissors
- Tree clips or floral wire
Steps to Follow
- Choose Your Ribbon: Select ribbon that complements your tree’s theme and colors. Wired ribbons are easier to shape and adjust.
- Cut the Ribbon: Cut the ribbon into manageable lengths, around 3-5 feet each.
- Attach the Ribbon: Start at the top of the tree. Secure one end of the ribbon with a tree clip or floral wire.
- Weave and Twist: Drape the ribbon in waves or twists, tucking it into branches as you go down.
- Adjust for Balance: Step back frequently to ensure even distribution and make adjustments as needed.
Finishing Touches
- Add ornaments after to avoid displacing the ribbon.
- Combine different ribbon styles for added texture and interest.
