Christmas Bows, Ribbon & Wreath Supplies

Hand-tied bows are the easiest way to make a tree, mantel or staircase look finished, and this year the oversized velvet bow and the ribbon bow garland are everywhere. This collection gathers the ribbon that actually holds a bow shape: wired-edge ribbon in velvet, satin and tartan, plus wreath forms, metal wreath frames and wooden bow makers for repeatable loops.

How to choose ribbon for Christmas bows

• Wired-edge ribbon keeps loops crisp and lets you reshape a bow after it has been squashed in storage. Choose it for tree toppers, wreath bows and garlands.
• Velvet (2.5 in / 63 mm) is the classic for mantel bows; most rolls here are 9–18 m, enough for 6–10 large bows.
• Satin and grosgrain suit gift wrapping and smaller bows on wreaths and stair garlands.
• Tartan works for Burns Night (25 January) too, so a roll earns its keep into the new year.

Bow garland basics

Cut 60 cm lengths, tie a simple two-loop bow, then thread the bows onto jute or wire at 15–20 cm intervals. A 10 m roll makes roughly 16 bows. Wreath rings and foam wreath forms are listed here so you can build the base and the bow from one order.
