DIY Christmas tree bows

With Christmas just around the corner my FB news feed is flooding with pictures of Christmas trees.

I usually pull out my Christmas tree December 1st, but I decided to change the colors of my formal living room this year, so naturally I needed to change my Christmas décor to match;)

I have a HUGE tree and accumulated a lot of ornaments and tree décor over the years, so I had to replace a lot!

Last year my tree was gold and green and this year I wanted to go with the popular burlap, and aqua blue combo. I also decided to keep the gold and also add some cream into the mix.

 

I love the way the little bows look in my Christmas tree, but I had a heard time finding the aqua color I had in mind. Most Christmas décor is traditionally red and green, but that was something I wanted to really step away from. I decided to make my own bows using wired ribbon from Hobby Lobby in my perfect color. I think they turned out fantastic:)

 

Here is a picture tutorial for these easy DIY Christmas tree bows.

Happy bow making!
