Red Velvet Christmas Harlequin bow-011

30+ Ribbon Combos for Your Christmas Bows

Here’s a large and fluffy bow to inspire you to make your own Christmas decor bows! We used around five yards of two ribbons to make a 12″ wide bow with eight loops of each ribbon. At this size, the bow could be used by itself, as a tree topper or a dominant element on a 24″ wreath. We have lots of suggestions for ribbon combinations so scroll through the pictures for ribbons to match your color scheme. See the links below each picture or visit the entire shop!

Christmas Court Jester Harlequin, Red Velvet 2 1/2″

We choose a brightly glittering red and lime green diamond patterned along with a traditional Christmas red velvet.  To make it easy to tighten and hold the center firmly, we used a chenille pipe cleaner to tie the bow, The pipe cleaner also allows you to freely adjust and rearrange the bow if desired. Our shop has Christmas velvets in over 20 colors, width and styles so you’re not limited to red!

Buffalo red black plaid check combo 18-013

What’s Black and Red…or White all over for Christmas? Buffalo Plaid Ribbon!

Each holiday season, a new design or color combination dominates the year’s decor.

Will it be a year of rustic simplicity? Are sophisticated textures and elegant design leading the pack?  How about styles with the nontraditional colors and space age designs of the 50’s and early 60″?

Will romantic Victorian make a comeback? Maybe playful designs with bold graphics?  Often traditional themes get tweaked, identifying them with a particular style or era.

Still, one design remains unstoppable and highly sought after, year after year: the classic of classics, Buffalo Plaid ribbon.

Houndstooth black 9 100 40 Mini combo-010

Going to the….houndstooths

A trio of black and white houndstooth patterns. The smaller size of these houndstooths bridges the gap between bold black and white patterns and an entire palette of colors, whether solid, textured or more intricate patterns.

The narrowest, “Houndstooth 9” is 1 1/2″ wide, with a black vinyl edge giving a definitive border to the pattern.

In the 2 1/2″ width, “Houndstooth Mini” the pattern is smaller, while the wire edge is covered in black thread.

The widest, 4″, “Houndstooth 100” has the same size pattern as the 1 1/2″ and features a black thread serged over the wired edge.

Dots In A Line Great Gingham Moss Ladybug Check combo 717-004

Ladybugs, Checks and Dots: Ribbon Combo of the Day

Our ribbon combo of the day shouts summer! Bright sunlit days, resting on the porch, warm twilight evenings, hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. Can you say Picnic? In today’s combo, glittering red polka dots, bright moss green gingham, and ladybug check join together, jetting off to Iowa. “Dots In A Line”,   “Great Gingham Moss”,   and “Ladybug Check”: a perky and cheery summer combo!

Bringing the sparkle is “Dots In A Line”, with red glitter dots lining up in the center, edged with a red and white striped pattern on white faux linen. As this combo shows, the pattern shines for summer projects and, of course, Christmas!

 

Don’t all good summer designs need a check? One of our extensive collection of gingham offerings, “Great Gingham Moss”, with bright green and white, comes in two widths.  There’s the 2 1/2″ used in today’s combo plus a 1 1/2″ width. You can choose 3 yard increments or ten yard lengths.

Prefer a narrower 1 1/2 inch width? Again, you can purchase in 3 yard increments and 10 yard lengths.

Bringing this trio together is the always stately but fun, Lady Bug, a 2 1/2″ wide satin ribbon (made in the U.S.). She contrasts nicely on her green checked field, don’t you think?
