8 Ways to Use Ribbon to Decorate for Christmas
1. Add Small Ribbon Bows to Your Christmas Tree
One of our favorite and one of the most popular ways to decorate with ribbon is to add small ribbon bows to your Christmas tree. There are so many different variations you can take with this depending on the aesthetic of the Christmas decor in your home.
You could go with multicolored ribbon, red and green ribbon, blue ribbon or dark maroon ribbon. It’s totally up to you — have fun with the design and color scheme.
2. Tie Ribbon Around Your Table Candle Sticks
A super simple way to elevate the taper candle sticks on your fireplace mantle, dining room table or living rooms shelves is to tie some ribbon around the candle sticks. This is such an easy decorative accent that will make an adorable statement this holiday season.
3. Add Some Ribbon to Your Mantle Garland
The more layers you add to your mantle garland, the more character and warm you bring to the space. In addition to stinging lights and hanging orange garland on your mantle, tie a ribbon each corner of the mantle garland for a decorative touch.
4. Use Ribbon Bows as Table Setting Decor
Our favorite thing to do during the holidays is host our friends and family. For your next dinner party add a small, thin ribbon bow on top of each plate setting. This will instantly make the table feel and look more elegant.
5. Decorate with Blue Ribbon Hues
While we don’t personally decorate with a blue winter theme in our home, we do think that it’s such a stunning take on Christmas decor. It’s bright, light and airy, and adding touches of blue hues throughout a home will make it feel so special.
You can start by adding various blue ribbon tones to your stockings. This will instantly add a touch of character and charm to your living room.
6. Add Ribbon Accents to Your Banister
We love the look of distressed ribbon on garland. It’s full of character and personality. While you’re adding ribbon to other places in your home, adding it to your stay banister is a great way to create a cohesive and classic feel to your home.
Pro tip: This relaxed velvet ribbon from Anthropologie is a great material to recreate this look.
7. Decorate Your Chandelier for Christmas Festivities
We’re always on the hunt for unpacked ways to decorate our home. During the holidays you can have more fun with your ribbon decor and create a festive moment to enjoy. Try hanging red ribbon from your dining room or kitchen pendant lighting for a magical experience for the holiday season.
8. Hang Kitchen Christmas Garland with Ribbon
We absolute envy anyone who has a window like this in their kitchen. It’s so adorable, but during the holidays you have the opportunity to decorate it to create joyful moments. For Christmas, try hanging garland, colored lights and adding small ribbon bows for a adorable touch.
