Christmas Ribbon

What is Christmas Ribbon?

Christmas ribbon is a long strip of fabric or material designed to tie, wrap or weave through festive decorations. Its purpose is to make gifts and decor look polished, uplifting and thoughtful. Ribbon has a rich history stretching back hundreds of years, when it was first used to seal gifts and add a personal flourish. In modern Australia, ribbon comes in a wide range of fabrics and finishes including satin, velvet, organza, mesh and burlap. Satin offers a smooth shine, velvet creates a plush luxury feel, organza and sheer bring delicate sparkle, mesh is bold and dynamic, while burlap is perfect for rustic looks. Ribbons can also feature printed patterns like plaid, candy cane stripes, holly sprigs or snowflakes, along with glitter, metallic and holographic finishes for extra impact. Wired ribbons hold their shape, making them ideal for bows and displays, while non-wired ribbons drape softly for a more casual look. Ribbon widths vary to suit every need. Thin ribbons from 3mm to 15mm are best for tying small gifts and accents. Medium ribbons from 25mm to 50mm are versatile for trees, garlands and bows. Wide ribbons from 63mm to 100mm or more are perfect for big bows, wreaths and show-stopping tree toppers.

Using Ribbon for Gift Wrapping and Decorating

Christmas ribbon is easy to use and makes a big difference with little effort. Tie a neat bow around a wrapped gift to instantly elevate its look. Loop ribbon through your Christmas tree branches to create a flowing, professional style. Add ribbon to wreaths, table centrepieces or banisters for a coordinated touch. Ribbon is also perfect for DIY Christmas crafts, from handmade ornaments and advent calendars to personalised bon bons. Wired ribbon is a reliable choice for projects that need structure and select softer fabrics which are easier to use for wrapping and layering. A handy tip when buying is to allow around 15 to 20 metres of ribbon for a standard 2 metre Christmas tree, depending on the fullness of your design.

Matching a Ribbon with Your Theme

The right ribbon makes your theme come alive. For a rustic Christmas, choose burlap, checks and natural tones for a down-to-earth look. For glam Christmas decorating, go bold with glitter, gold and metallic ribbons that shine under the lights. For a traditional Australian Christmas, red and green satin, candy cane stripes or tartan patterns are popular and timeless. You can also mix fabrics and colours for a more modern, dynamic look that feels exclusive and personal. Matching ribbon with your theme brings balance and style to your decor and helps create an inspiring and cohesive space.
