Christmas Home Decor – Ribbon, the Perfect Accent


Whether your interest in home accessorizing is centered around your interior home, your outdoor home, or both, you know what a beautiful ribbon can add to certain projects, whether you’re using it for a bow with long curling tails or for just a wisp of color.

Not just any ribbon, mind you, but a ribbon with impeccable design and textures. This 2012 Christmas season we both were searching for such ribbon for many outdoor and indoor decor projects. We will be including a few of these projects as tutorials for betterOutdoorLivingatHome. These will be featured in articles coming very soon.

The search ended at Michael’s Crafts. In the Christmas ribbon aisle we stood there in awe, our eyes as big as quarters. There we found ribbon with incredible designs and finishes. The ribbon we saw in other stores didn’t match this quality. Maybe this quest for quality comes from our Mom who knows fine quality in materials from years of being an incredible seamstress.

So we took pictures of the beautiful ribbon to show to you, and that is what you will see here. We stacked them in groupings of similar types or styles, or color.

First up, and in no particular order, is grosgrain ribbon. So happy to see this popular ribbon style used for Christmas designs.

 

 

This isn’t a plug for any particular store. It is simply about finding ribbon of a certain quality with gorgeous designs and textures that makes a home decor project special, whether for the interior or exterior of your home.

Are these satin ribbon designs not gorgeous? From elegant to whimsical –

 

 

This stack of ribbon is a range of mix designs, from a rustic  Buffalo plaid all the way to the glittery –

 

 

Ribbon used in decor projects come with or without wired edges. The wired edges make for a beautiful full bow for a door wreath, and make it easy to create those graceful curling tails. This stack of  elegant ribbon designs would be great for that (notice the bottom ribbon is a unique cable stitch design).

 

Sheer ribbon can shimmer and create an elegant ambiance. Aren’t they just gorgeous?

 

 

What would Christmas decor be without a choice of silver and/or gold accents.  By now it is probably apparent we are fans of beautiful ribbon!

 

Is it too much to ask for exquisite ribbon? Hopefully it will always be easy to find!

    I so love ribbons! Whenever I go the mall, my first stop over is the bookstore of arts and crafts store. Last week, I bought 6 rolls of glittery ribbons for my Christmas tree. The tree is done, I have a sparkling house. Loved it!
