I recommend that you purchase 2 to 3 different types of ribbonfor your tree. Choose a wired ribbon so you’re able to manipulate it and make flow perfectly on your tree. Pick ribbon colours and designs that complement each other. For this year’s Christmas tree, I’m going to keep it neutral in colour scheme. I’ll be using golds, rose golds, whites an...
When you’re choosing your ribbons, look for a couple different widths. For my tree this year, I have two ribbon selections that are 2 1/2 inches wide, and one that’s 2 inches wide. Varying the widths, the textures, and the colours of the ribbon will add interest to your tree.
For a standard 7 1/2 foot tall Christmas tree, I like to use about 20 yards of ribbonaltogether. This is a generous amount of ribbon for a full look, and any extra can be used to wrap gifts.
When decorating my tree, I love to start by giving the tree a good fluff to make sure it looks its best. Then, I install picks into the tree. Greenery or glittery picks make a tree feel a little bit more nature inspired and a little bit more textured. I recommend choosing 2 to 3 different textures of picks and adding them to the tree one type at a ...
Choose the widest ribbon you have and start adding that to your tree first. In my case, I have two 2 1/2″ wide ribbons, so I’m choosing the one that stands out the most first – the gold fringed ribbon.
There are a few simple ways to put ribbon on a Christmas tree, and this cascade methodis my favourite. I’ve been doing it for many, many years! You might have seen it on previous videos and on previous Christmas trees that I’ve decorated. For this technique, cut your ribbon into two or three foot sections. Smaller strips of ribbon are going to make...
The second technique I want to show you is the coiling technique. Begin by cutting the ribbon into 2-3 foot sections. Then, simply wrap the ribbon around your hand to create a nice tight coil. Then, pull the coil gently apart to create a curled ribbon effect. Place that in your tree vertically or horizontally. This is more of a whimsical sort of lo...
For this ribbon method, you can use wired ribbon or you can use unwired ribbon. Unwired is going to give you more of a natural feel, and wired is going to be a little bit more formal of a feel. Take a piece of ribbon and cut it into a 4-6 foot section. You can do it shorter if you want to, and then make two bunny ears and simply tie them together. ...
This next technique I call the triple loop technique. Begin by taking a strand of ribbon that’s cut to 1-2 feet long. Holding it your hand, create three loops and pinch the folded end gently to secure the loops. Place the looped ribbon into the tree horizontally or vertically, and then spread those loops out. Loop Technique Variation: Start with a ...
Once you’ve added your ribbon to your tree with your favourite method (or a combination of 2 or 3 methods), you can continue decorating your tree. I like to then add large ornaments deep into the tree, smaller ornaments or ornament clusters closer to the branch tips, and then whimsical ornaments throughout. The final touch is a tree topper and a tr...
