Check out Amazon, Michael’s, and Hobby Lobby!
You definitely don’t have to spend the price tag that comes with designer Christmas ribbon to make your wreaths look good. First thing above all, make sure you’re using wired ribbon for most of your decorating for the holidays. Wide wired Christmas ribbon is always best. My favorite places to find wired ribbon for wreaths may surprise you. My go to places are always Amazon, Michael’s, and Hobby Lobby. That’s right! All the looks of designer Christmas ribbon without the price tag. I love shopping at these places too because of course Amazon ships, but so does Michael’s and Hobby Lobby. The latter retail stores also offer drive up! So, if you’re like me and you’re really busy in preparation for the holiday season saving time anywhere you can is a win. When you shop online, you can even conveniently select filters for the features of the ribbon you like from texture (velvet, burlap, etc.), to size, and even color. For my wreaths I like using ribbon that’s 2.5” and I match to the textures and colors on my tree. While I never make my wreaths from scratch, I do purchase them pre-made and add or exchange the ribbon myself. I find them, along with Christmas trees, at Costco because they have great faux and live options. Michael’s is also my pre-made wreath favorite! Using pre-made wreaths and adding the ribbon you like is a great way to customize to what you want and like.

Look in Target and Bed Bath & Beyond in addition to Amazon!
I find the same ribbon to style my Christmas trees at the same places I shop for my wreaths. However, have 3 trees at home: a main tree, a sports tree for my husband, and a smaller tree for my 4 years old of whatever he wants. I’ve found that Target has the best ribbon and matching ornaments at affordable prices that give me the exact looks I want. Also, surprisingly, Bed Bath & Beyond has nice, elegant Christmas ribbon styles plus the cutest sports themed colors and patterns too!
How to Use Wide Wired Christmas Ribbon for your Christmas tree
Tree decorating definitely calls for wide wired Christmas ribbon of 4” for me. If you’re not so comfortable with decorating your tree yet, begin with 2.5” wired ribbon and work your way up in size. I pride myself on finding elegant Christmas ribbon styles to make my tree look like I’ve used designer Christmas ribbon and it never disappoints. In the photos below I use primarily a mix of wired Christmas ribbon ranging in size from 2.5” to 4”in velvet, taffeta, satin, and glitter textures to add to the depth of my Christmas trees. I have to admit, velvet and anything that shimmers makes me feel warm for the holidays and there’s just nothing better than a flocked Christmas tree to add to all the winter wonderland feels.
