How to Add Ribbon to Christmas Trees

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village today we are going to be talking about how to elegantly decorate your Christmas tree. In our final clip let's talk about adding ribbon to trim your tree. To add to the elegance we tend to use ribbon versus tensile. Tensile can be very messy and if you want tensile to be elegant, you literally have to put the tensile on strand by strand so that you can get the perfect tensile look versus taking the tensile and putting big gulps on the tree that you may have done when you were a kid. But when we are talking about elegance this why I tend to use ribbon instead of instead of the tensile because tensile is very time consuming if you are going to put it on again strand by strand. But what you want to do is make sure that you have enough ribbon and we have in this case made it into a sort of bow and put it into kind of a C pattern on the tree. And you can see we've spread the ribbon throughout the tree in all parts of it kind of complementing not only the bows, the flowers, the filler in there. Again ribbon acts as another filler but it adds the vital touch to your tree and it should also be the last thing that you add to your tree. "
