How To Add Ribbon To A Christmas Tree

There is something so magical about a Christmas tree that has ribbon on it. Here's how you can add ribbon to a Christmas tree and have it look perfect.

1. Ribbon Bows

Do you want to make your Christmas tree look extra special? Here's how you can add ribbon to a Christmas tree (or bows) and have it look perfect.

Some people love bows, and they look so pretty on the boughs of a Christmas tree. You can also make one large bow for the top of your Christmas tree. To use ribbon for bows, wired ribbon works best. Wired ribbon is easier to manipulate and holds a shape better than non-wired ribbon. For a great tutorial on tying professional-style ribbon bows for your Christmas tree, see Jennifer Decorates.

2. Ribbon Wrapping

Do you want to know how to add ribbon to a Christmas tree? It's really pretty simple. Here's everything you need to know on how to add ribbon to a Christmas tree.

We’re fans of wrapping ribbon around the tree, from top from bottom, instead of the tinsel everyone used to use. Again, you want wired ribbon for this because it holds it shape. Wired ribbon also stores well from year to year. If it gets smashed, simply re-shape it and it looks as good as new! We like to put ornaments on the tree first, and then wrap the tree in ribbon. Start at the top, and leave several inches to a foot between rows, depending on the height of your tree.

3. Drape The Tree With Ribbon Curls

If you add ribbon to a Christmas tree, it really gives it something extra! It can be as simple as just adding a little ribbon curl, but it will look so cute!

Good news! Curling ribbon is inexpensive, but it looks amazing on a Christmas tree! Cut lengths of ribbon from 2-3 feet long, curl, and then place on your tree. Drape the ribbon curls horizontally across the boughs of the tree. Or cut shorter lengths from 6-8 inches long, curl, and hang vertically on the tree. Either way is simply beautiful!

4. Cover The Tree With Ribbon Curls And Bows

Adding ribbons and bows to your Christmas tree is easy to do and it will look so cute! Here's how to add ribbon to a Christmas tree (and bows).

You aren’t confined to one method, so if you like ribbon curls and bows, put both on your tree! This tree has solid gold ribbon cascading vertically down the tree, and see-through ribbon bows on the branches. Matching bows dress the presents underneath the tree. Isn’t it beautiful?
