How to Make a Ribbon Garland
How to Make a Ribbon Garland: Do you have a special event or holiday coming up that could use a little extra flair? Look no further than a beautiful ribbon garland to add a touch of elegance and charm to any space. According to a survey Americans spend over $12 billion on decorations for special occasions. But instead of breaking the bank on store-bought decor, why not personalize your space with a DIY ribbon garland? Get ready to elevate your decorating game and impress your guests with this simple yet stunning addition to your decoration repertoire.
Create your own pretty accent for your next party. This super easy garland can be customized to match any event color scheme. You can also change it out by adding different colored ribbon. I leave the ends long for just that reason. That way I can use the garland over and over again.
I love the look it gave my rustic wedding candy buffet, softly blowing in the breeze. The garland adds a little feminine touch without looking too girly. It can also be used to decorate a bridal or baby shower. TIP: If you want a longer garland but you don’t want to purchase more ribbon, leave space between each ribbon. I scrunched the ribbon on my garland together because I like that look. This garland looks gorgeous both ways.
