What better way is there to prepare for Xmas than to get busy styling your trees?
Best believe, Christmas décor make your season hit better. From artificial trees (think the luxury 15 foot artificial Christmas trees for large homes or the regular 7 foot for the smaller ones) to Christmas ornaments down to the several sparkling lights, there are different ways you can make your apartment look stunning.
A few ribbons tied around your tree can add a little flair. Plus you can choose from an array of ribbon types, each for a different purpose.
This holiday season, be sure to style your artificial Christmas tree with ribbons by using the following tips:
Preparation
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.
Choosing 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.
Layering Ribbons
Layering ribbons will lead to a more diverse and fuller look than using just one material, style, or color.
Finishing
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.
Next, pick a pattern that interests you, whether S-shaped, zig-zag, or designer.
