Adding Ribbon to Your Pre-Lit Christmas Tree

Ribbon is one of those items that are easily available in numerous styles and colors, especially during the Christmas season. Many people find that ribbon is a great item to have on hand to decorate prelit Christmas trees with and they are right — it is easy to work with and it adds so much depth to your prelit Christmas trees. It is even better for those who may have prelit Christmas trees that are a little on the skimpy side of things.

The problem that many people have is that they are not sure of how they should use ribbon on their prelit Christmas trees. There are several ways in which you can and there are several decisions that you have to make about the ribbon that you will be using.

Choosing Your Ribbon

First off, what if your favorite ribbon? You will find that there are several different types that are all about Christmas and are used on prelit Christmas trees everywhere. The most popular types include:

– Satin which has a beautiful sheen to it.

– Velvet which is very luxurious.

– Wired Organza that is delicate but pretty and the wire in it can be easier to mold to what you want it to be.

– Burlap is great for those who want to use a more natural element on their prelit Christmas trees.

– Burlap with lace adds a more feminine look to something that is pretty basic.

– Lace is a beautiful option, but it can be harder to deal with for some people.

– Plaid is a great option for those who are looking for something that is a bit more traditional or they want to use a farm theme on their trees.

– Tulle is something that many people use throughout their trees to make them look larger and more full.

There are basically two ways in which you can use ribbon on your prelit Christmas trees and this is vertically or horizontally. The horizontal approach is more traditional in that you take this ribbon all around the tree and tuck it in between the tree limbs. Many people compare this to how you would normally string lights onto a tree.

The vertical method is easy to do but creates a different look on your tree. With this method, many people cut a portion of the ribbon, then put this towards the tree, string it down and have it curl on the ends to look as though it is hanging on the tree naturally. They do this all the way around the tree to make it look amazing.

Is ribbon something that you would consider putting on your prelit tree? If so, then you are not alone. That is why there are so many ribbon options out there for Christmas ribbon. Find a style that you like that will fit in with your theme, and then choose the ribbon material that is easier for you to work with for the best results.
