Ribbon
Ribbon is such an easy way to decorate and dress up just about anything you can think of. Trim a wreath or tree with a few buffalo check bows or even use it as a way to hang your ornaments on the perfect branch. Cut longer sections of it to wrap around a balsam garland or wrap that special “Santa" present in some Kraft paper and tie some “Merry Christmas Y’all” around it for a personal and thoughtful touch.
