A few more weeks and then it’s Christmas. Kids are waiting while moms are looking to get the homes decked. Whatever your take, here are ways you can bypass Christmas ornaments (think wreaths, lights, and popcorn strings) to spruce up your space!
Ribbon does the magic. You may choose whichever suits your taste and knock yourself out. What matters is you’re following the tips below:
Prepare your trees
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.
Choose good ribbons
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.
Arrange ribbons into layers
Layering ribbons will lead to a more diverse and fuller look than using just one material, style, or color.
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.
Select your preferred technique
You can then pick a pattern that interests you, whether S-shaped, zig-zag, or designer.
Move a few steps backward
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. You may also choose to add other Christmas ornaments if you will.
