Does ribbon go on tree first or last?

Posted by Reinaldo Massengill on Monday, January 2, 2023
Trust me on this one. Tip 8: Applying the ribbon to your tree is all about the timing. A lot of people say that their ribbon has to be done first or last, or wherever they have it in their routine, but I say do it where it makes sense.

Regarding this, when decorating a tree what goes on first?

To showcase your favorite ornaments, place them in prime positions on the tree first. Next, hang your larger ornaments, spacing them evenly around the tree. Ornament balls in one color but several sizes and textures will create continuity from top to bottom.

Secondly, how many yards of ribbon do I need for a Christmas tree? It seems that I usually use between 2 and 3 spools (10 yards each) of ribbon for each of my trees. Ribbon adds such a luxe elegance to a tree, so it is important to not skimp. Ribbon can get expensive, so I recommend using your coupons when you can.

Just so, how do you hang garland?

Here's how:

  • Attach several clear or white removable hooks evenly spaced on top of the mantel.
  • Securely tie fishing wire around the garland to align with the hooks.
  • Tie the other end of the fishing wire around the hooks tightly, so the garland is hanging in front of the mantel in a draping effect.

    Use a spray bottle to mist a section of the tree with water first, then scoop some of the flock into your strainer and sift it onto the damp tree. Spray the flocked section once more with water. Note: A flocked tree can't get wet again after this otherwise it won't dry. Consider making your own flock.
