Dress up your holiday home with items traditionally sold as packaging!
Target carries these pieces in the holiday wrapping paper section called "ribbon greeting". It looks like this and as you can see, it's meant to replace a bow on a package.
I love these as an alternative to bows. They are beautiful and really stand out. However, just as they are beautiful on presents, they can easily be used around your home.
They look great wrapped around wreaths.
Nestle them into trees...
Another great idea, even though I don't have a photo of it, is to stretch them across a small mirror. These are perfect to stretch across a mirror in a half bathroom. Be sure to place the message ribbon either low or high and not in the middle where it can obstruct the view of guests who may need the mirror for makeup touchups, etc. They look even better stretched across at an angle. They are an easy way to add a festive message and a bit of color to a small room.
What a super idea! Thank you for sharing! I love how you incorporated this.
