Decorating with Bows is one of my favorite ways to decorate for the Christmas season. It’s a simple but absolutely fabulous way to bring a touch of whimsy, femininity, and sweetness to nearly all of your decor. Read on for how I decorate with bows…

Trim your tree with bows.

This is one of my favorite ways to decorate. I like to simply tie the bow and then drape it onto the tree branch. I like to use bows on my trees for another layer of texture and a pop of color. I’ve used Velvet Ribbon, satin ribbon, and yarn depending on the look I’m going for. You can shop some of my favorite ribbons to use here.

I tied this Hobby Lobby yarn into bows and then draped them on our tree. As much as I love neutrals, a tree is never done until it has some color around here.

For my mini trees, I like to use velvet bows on as a tree topper. It makes them sweeter and more girly!

Pair a bow with a wreath.

I seldom leave a wreath without a bow anymore – this pairing just makes sense in most occasions. I like using a thicker velvet ribbon on my faux cedar wreaths, mini wreaths, and my diy wreaths. You can shop my very favorite velvet ribbon to use here. I also adore this inexpensive frayed velvet ribbon.

Adorn Christmas stockings with bows.

You can use thin or thick ribbon to finish the look of your stockings on your mantel. I love the texture and layering that it adds. The exact satin ribbon I used is linked here… the color is rose gold.

Fancy up kids’ spaces with bows.

I used pre-made bows from Target (similar here) to add a touch of playfulness to the girls’ bookshelves. Below, I added a mini bow to our lil’ nutcracker just because!

Use bows on gifts.

Well, this one is a no brainer… but I wanted to add that if your hesitant/not sure of your bow tying, google/youtube it.. or buy a pre-made bow. I even use the girls’ hair bows on gifts of theirs and then reuse year after year.

Tie a bow around vases.

My white anthro vases are perfectly neutral all other times of the year but during Christmastime, a bow is an absolute must! Bows bring me so much joy!

Do you use bows for decorating? I would love to hear some ideas that I didn’t list here!
