Ideas for Holiday Decorating with Ribbon.

One of the things I like most about the Christmas Holiday is decorating. There are so many products on the market these days that make Holiday Decorating both fun and easy. One of these is ribbon. There are thousands of colors, styles and widths of ribbon in as many different fabrics and even plastic. Ribbon can be used for all the extra festive decorating touches a home needs to reflect the holiday spirit.

One way to add a very beautiful touch to your Christmas tree is to make a large, multi looped Taffeta or Moire bow and place it at the very top of your tree, making sure to incorporate it into the tree branches all the way around and not just on one side. Add about 5 streamers that you wind and twist down the sides of the tree to the bottom. Look at these beautiful Christmas Tree Toppers.

You can also make ribbon garland to go around the tree from the top to the bottom by cutting strips of ribbon in varied lengths and placing them in the tree branches to give a woven effect. Here are some wonderful Decorated Country Holiday Garlands. Make a very elegant Velvet of Taffeta bow and secure it to the corner of a painting or portrait with the streamers draping the top and side.
