Red Satin Ribbon and Gold Stripes


If you have beautiful red ribbon........you can gift wrap anything beautifully. Red ribbon is the classic of them all anytime of year, but it is during the holidays that it shows it's festive and vibrant power. The wider the better, be lavish with it and make great big bows. Red satin ribbon here and here, and plain white gift boxes here


I especially like red ribbon with this gilded stripe gift wrap paper for a classic and elegant Kate Spadish presentation. 




Isn't gift wrapping fun?

  3. My daughter and I went to our Houston wholesale Christmas place last weekend. We could have spent $100's on gift wrapping paper & ribbon. But I told her about your kraft paper post, and she died right then...leopard ribbon, bandanna ribbon, red ribbon, it all looked perfect. We bought an entire large bolt of paper for $40 (it will last a lifetime). Happy Holidays, Sande....

  7. Sande,

    I've hand tied red grosgrain ribbon into bows on my Christmas tree every year I've been married (26 yrs.) and hung red puffed hearts below each bow. It really makes for a stunning symbol. I use red bows a lot to decorate during the holidays including my outdoor decorations. It is a wonderful accessory to use everywhere you get a chance to.

  9. How gorgeous Sande! I love this timeless look.

    In my family the red ribbons have a special place at Christmas. Every night on the 23rd December since I was little, my mother walks around the house and ties red satin ribbons on all the candles. So when we wake up on Christmas morning the house feels tied in a big bow of love.
    Those red ribbons will for ever more be an instant reminder of my mother and those magical nights right before Christmas.

  16. So beautiful, Sande... I have some ribbons and such picked out already, but the paper is somewhat of a mystery—you never fail to inspire... I only hope to create gifts half as beautiful as what you do!

    Warmly,
    Sarah
