Make Your Home Sparkle with Cascading Ribbon on 8 Foot Artificial Christmas Trees
Ribbon is one of those items that you either love or hate when it comes to putting this onto your 8 foot artificial Christmas trees. However, you will find that more people are leaning towards using ribbon on their 8 foot artificial Christmas trees. Why is this? Because ribbon can add a dash of shine and color to the theme, and it helps the tree to look even fuller — if you place this correctly onto your 8 foot artificial Christmas trees.
What hols many people back is that they are unsure of how they should use ribbon on their 8 foot artificial Christmas trees. How do you hang this? Do you just throw this onto the branches and hope for the best? One of the biggest trends that people are seeing this year on their 8 foot artificial Christmas trees is the idea of the ribbon cascading down the tree — simulating a waterfall of ribbon on the tree. It is beautiful, and it does look super complex. However, it is rather simple to do and you can easily add this into your tree this year.
So, how can you do this? Follow these steps!
1. Unthread the ribbon from the spool, and make 4 folds into the ribbon on the ends. These can be folds or loops, depending on what you choose to do. Four is a right-even number, however you can do some more folds if your tree is super tall. However, for 8 foot artificial Christmas trees, four folds should be sufficient.
2. Cut the ribbon from the spool, however be certain to leave plenty of room on the end of the ribbon as you will be cutting a V into the end. From the V in the end, you are going to split this up so that you make two tails on the end of the ribbon.
3. Take these two tails and curl these so that they hang in curls to add more definition to the ribbon.
4. Now, you will take the reduce ribbon that is folded with the V tail on it, and then stick it in the tree so that the V on the cease is striking beneath the backside branches.
5. From there, you are going to desire to fold or loop a greater ribbon, reducing it, then striking it on the branches as although it is cascading down. Continue doing this numerous instances down the tree to create the cascade effect. Do this in small sections to make it more controllable in the end looks.
You will discover that via reducing and doing this in small sections, you have extra time to manipulate the ribbon, which is essential when looking to create this effect. If you were to try to do this with one long piece of ribbon, it would be almost impossible to do. Play around with the ribbon, and if you are using wired ribbon you will find that it works even better to create the cascading look.
