Ribbons are an excellent addition to your Christmas tree ensemble. You can tie, wrap, or lace ribbons around your tree to complement or contrast your ornaments and trimmings. An addition of ribbons with earth colors, such as our Brown Glen Plaid Ribbon, adds a rustic feel to trees. The Burgundy Dupioni Ribbon, with its deep red color and embedded gold trims, is a perfect Christmas tree ribbon.

Add a Refreshing Tone to your Mantelpiece

Hanging garlands on a mantelpiece or in the living room is a Christmas tradition, but introducing a touch of bright colors can breathe new life to your holiday decorations. Adorning your garlands with ribbon bows made from our Blue Dupioni or our Sage Dupioni can add a refreshing tone that instantly brightens up tabletop and mantelpiece decor.
