Custom Signs, Ribbons and Holiday Decor

After creating your custom signs, use personalized ribbon rolls to hang them. Decorating for the holidays just became easier. Are you one of those people who prefer to decorate with a theme or use uniformity in your colors and style? Using engraved holiday custom signs is a great way to keep a theme going. And using personalized ribbon rolls to hang them takes it one step further.

From choosing your favorite holiday color and text to making a unique colorful statement, designing ribbons to go with your Christmas decor is sure to make everyone smile. Just add your favorite carol lyrics, or any other festive text, to a holiday ribbon and hang a fun themed sign on your doors and windows. Or, use that same ribbon to hang ornaments on your Christmas tree.

Here are three great tips for hanging your custom signs and decorations this year.

Braided Ribbon Chains

Try to keep your ribbons as flat as possible, and just start braiding. Remember that your ribbon length will shorten as your braid gets longer, so either premeasure with that in mind or work directly off your ribbon rolls. Secure the braid with a small, tight knot once your braid is long enough. Once this is complete, attach your ribbon to the back of your sign or other decoration with double sided tape.

Want something a bit more decorative? Take two of your ribbon colors and make a big circle with the long ends sticking out from underneath. Then take the third ribbon color and tie it around the middle of that circle and the top of the braid. Doing this will make a bow without a lot of trouble. The ends of the third ribbon color will get used as a tail with the other colors.

Double Bow Ribbons

Using this option will require predrilled holes in your custom signs. However, the effect is something quite extraordinary. Measure out the length of ribbon that is necessary to hang your sign. Make a loop with each end of the ribbon and stick one end through each hole in the sign. Pass another piece of ribbon through the loop and tie that ribbon into a bow. This bow can be any size you would like. It can also be another ribbon color to add to your festivity. Then, tie the loop shut on the backside of the sign, and hang.

Ribbon Fringe

This decorative option is super simple. Just run custom ribbons along the bottom of your sign and trim them to the length you want. We have alternated colors to add a little extra pop and style.

Old and New Advice for Terrific Holiday Bows

Ribbons and holiday bows make any gift better! Wrap holiday bows around any gift to add fun and unique detail. From bags and boxes to cars and puppies, choosing the right bow adds a uniqueness all its own. Here are some ways to use ribbon rolls to make holiday bows for your seasonal gifting this year.

From large to small, bows should match the gift you are giving.

For example, if you are giving that special someone a car for Christmas (or any other holiday for that matter), make sure the bow size matches the size of the present. You wouldn’t want to put a two-inch bow on a vehicle, as it would just get lost and therefore would not be visible. On the other end of the spectrum, if you put a two-foot bow on a small jewelry box, you won’t be able to see the present.

Don’t forget about the color!

Holiday bows are meant to be unique and stand out. Don’t blend a green bow with a green box. Choose a ribbon color that will pop and make that gift extra special. Reds and golds are excellent holiday color combinations. Pair blues with silvers, greens with reds and even blues with reds. And, be creative! Don’t limit yourself to traditional holiday colors. Think outside the box and pair pinks and browns or reds and purples!

Adding fun, poofy ribbons to bottles and baskets is a great way to skimp on the wrapping; especially if you don’t want to wrap oddly shaped objects. Go for a simple, dainty bow on someone’s favorite brand of bubbly, or tie a giant, festive bow to a fruit or goody basket.

Red Ribbon Week and 3 Ways to Participate

What is Red Ribbon Week?

Throughout the year, people wear colored ribbons for numerous reasons. During the final week of October, people wear them for Red Ribbon Week. The wearing of red ribbons started in 1988 to raise awareness of the destruction in America that is caused by drugs.

Many schools across the US participate in Red Ribbon Week. This event started with the help of Nancy Reagan, has become the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation. During the week, schools have developed programs and games to help school children be aware of the dangers of drug use.

From brightly colored hair to silly outfits, schools are filled with excited kids participating in these fun festivities. Here are a few ideas to help you celebrate this week with them by wearing red ribbons.

Badge ribbons are perfect for supporting Red Ribbon Week. Many people wear name tags and name badges at work, so it is easy to attach these ribbons to the bottom of an existing uniform piece. Wear these badge ribbons with a name tag too! From blank badge ribbons to custom classic ribbons, design something that helps to get out that “Just Say No” message.

Rosette ribbons are a fun way to sport the color red this week. Add these fancy ribbons to your clothing, notebooks or backpacks to show your support. From a simple place ribbon to a custom rosette, these bright ribbons are sure to pledge awareness to this particular cause.

And then there were ribbon rolls!

Here is a simple tutorial on how to create any color awareness ribbon that might be needed.

Step 1: Begin the awareness ribbon by cutting a section of personalized ribbon that includes the entire text. Make sure that when ordering personalized awareness ribbons that the words are appropriately spaced. In this case, a cut is made between Support and Troops. The finish of the ribbon will also need to be taken into perspective at this point. If the awareness ribbons need to have a slanted end, make sure cut the section of personalized ribbon at an angle.

Step 2: Form a small loop in the ribbon making sure to leave each end hanging down so that the text can be seen at the ends without being covered by the crossover. Attach this crossover, or intersection, together by either using a small piece of tape or hot glue. This will secure the shape of the awareness ribbon. If the awareness ribbon needs to be kept for long-term use, hot glue is the best option.

No matter your ribbon choice, be sure to make your statement during this Red Ribbon Week. Sport your red and stand for awareness!

Festive, Fun and Spooky Halloween Ribbons

From ribbon chains strung around your house to a ribbon wreath on your front door, let’s make your Halloween festive and fun with personalized ribbons!

It doesn’t take a lot to decorate for Halloween these days. Find some cobwebs and a witch’s hat, and you’re pretty much set. But, let’s go a bit beyond the norm and find a use for all those festive and fun holiday ribbons you have laying around your house.

Here’s a fun decorating idea! Do you have potted plants or scraggly trees? Tie a simple black ribbon around a branch or twig and add little white dots for eyes. It’s an instant bat!

Treat tags made from badge ribbons. Choose a spooky color to make your trick-or-treat bags festive. Just add text with a Halloween message, and you’re all set. Wrap up caramel apples, candy treats or other homemade goodies in a bag and secure them shut with the badge ribbon.

Needing a decoration that will stand out? This ribbon topiary is sure to do the trick (pun intended)!

Ribbon topiaries are fun to decorate with as well. First, choose several different, festive ribbon colors. Find a foam or floral ball and dress pins. You will also want a small dowel, or a pencil works well. Finally, you will need a base such as a vase or other stand that can hold the topiary upright.

Cut each ribbon piece into approximately four-inch strips. The more strips you have, the larger the topiary will look. Then start rolling the ribbons, so the ends meet. Secure these together with a pin and push it securely into the foam ball. Cover the entire ball with these ribbon rings. Make sure to stagger the ribbons and colors and alternate directions the ribbons are being placed to give it a fluffy look. Add a finishing touch with a bow on the dowel that has a spooky message.

And, don’t forget your costume!

Use a rosette ribbon to state you have the best costume ever. Or, make festive hair bows with clips and personalized ribbons. From ghosts and witch hats to spiders and pumpkins, use your imagination and create something that is sure to wow this holiday!
