How to decorate a Christmas tree with ribbons

On the eve of the New Year, the question of how to beautifully and not ordinary decorate a spruce arises. There are a lot of interesting objects and methods for this. Moreover, a variety of garlands, cute figures, bright balls are not the only options. Unusual, charming, New Year's decoration can serve as various ribbons.

To beautifully decorate a tree for the New Year, it is not enough to hang the source material on it; you need to give them an original shape. The ribbon decoration of the tree is divided into two types: in the original form using different sewing techniques or the method in which Christmas balls are made from ribbons.

Using whole tapes

There are several variations for decorating the New Year tree with this material:

Spiral way. With this variation, the beginning of the canvas is located at the top, and ends on one of the branches of the lower tier. This method is good, but for a more attractive appearance, additional sewing techniques are required: dressing, periodic pinches, and so on. In this case, the source material may be in a single copy or in several;
Double helix method. In this case, a pair of tapes intersect each other. This option looks more elegant and allows you to use tapes without additional changes.
The method of "tent". In this embodiment, several canvases are fixed on the top of the spruce and diverge equally to the lower branches;
Diagonal tent. In this embodiment, the spiral direction and the "Tent" method are combined. It can be performed both in plain colors, and using several colors;

IMPORTANT! Using any of the above methods, the main rule is not to overdo it with quantity. Canvases should not cover the entire surface of the tree. Also, a combination of contrasting ribbons and balls is better.

Ribbon Jewelry

You can use this material to decorate a tree not only in its natural form, but also creating wonderful crafts from them:

Bows. For this variation, you need to cut the ribbon of the desired size and curl it with a charming bow. Attach a loop to the finished decoration and place it on the Christmas tree;
The Artichoke Method. This variation of the creation of the ball using satin ribbons. For the embodiment you will need two-color tapes that are glued to the base with glue.

As a blank, you can use a foam ball purchased or a ball crumpled from paper, for example, an old newspaper, and covered with fabric;

Kansashi way. This method involves the use of special needlework technique, in which the blanks from the ribbon are folded in a certain way and secured with glue into a single part.

What colors to choose for decoration

When determining the appropriate color scheme for the Christmas decoration of a Christmas tree, the following criteria should be followed:

Using tapes of the same color. This rule can manifest itself in two versions: the same color for all Christmas-tree decorations or a game in contrast, when the ribbons serve as a kind of shade for the main color scheme;
The use of paintings of various colors. With this method, you need to use bright, matching colors;

IMPORTANT! With this design, do not get carried away. A competent outfit should not contain more than three colors.

What ribbons to use for decoration

When choosing ribbons for decorating the New Year tree, you should pay attention to the decoration material. There are several usable options:

Satin ribbons. This is the most widely used option. It is suitable for use in the original form and for the construction of extraordinary details: balls and bows;
Chiffon bows. These lush stripes give your tree a touch of airiness and mystery. They will create an unusual variation of the familiar New Year tree. It is also easy to use them simply by tying individual fragments on spruce paws;
Burlap strips. Despite its external rudeness and plain appearance, this option gives a rather unusual appearance when used. It is especially good in combination with bright shiny little balls and fluffy tinsel.

The above methods are basic, but not the only options. If you want to decorate your forest beauty in an unusual and attractive way, just show your imagination and be creative in the process. The only rule: do not get carried away and decorate the tree in moderation. Remember: a little bit of good.
