Who’s here in 2023 watching this AGAIN 😂😂😂😂
I am 😁
Meeeee❤❤❤❤
Me too❄️🇨🇦❄️
Me 😂
Me too!
I'm a complete untalented bow maker. And of all the videos I've been looking at to learn how to do them, this is the best! Holiday greetings from Colombia 🎄
This video is the first one I watched of Laura! I was trying to figure out how to work with ribbons and make bows. And then I realized she was a gardener pro and kept watching because I didn’t know what to do with my garden either 😂 Can’t believe it’s been 5 years already! 🎄❤️
I never thought to cut my ribbon in separate lengths. If the roll was 30 feet, it went around the tree and looked like I was straggling the tree to death. LOL! Thanks for teaching the correct way to add ribbon!☺️
Laura, you explained working with the ribbon so well! My mother was known for her bows on packages and she was my teacher. Aren't we blessed to have talented mothers, I know I was. 🎄🎀💚🎁
Rebecca Wood Bixler mine is so great too I love her so much ❤️❤️
Hi my dear I love how you teaching me how to make a bow you are doing well today I love that you are doing thank you God bless
I'm now 58 yo, at 16 I worked at a indoor/outdoor shop in Mobile, Alabama. Now closed but I got a winter job, cutting ribbons and making bows, learned, brushing up now!!
Thanx Laura
Oh Laura THANK U, All my year's never hv found so easy-to-use, Thank U 🥰
I love how the ribbons make the tree look so much more full and accent the ornaments. Great idea for those that don't have a lot of ornaments. Thanks for the tutorial!
You are a great decorator, thanks for sharing
Beautiful! You taught this old gardener some new tricks with ribbon!
Finally, after almost 44 years on this earth, I understand how to make these decorative ribbon bows. Past attempts lacked too many steps, that now seem so obvious watching you do it. Seems like your way of doing this is easier than others I’ve seen. I just might give it whirl again this year! Thanks so much for showing us how to do things in such an easy manner! Happy Thanksgiving!
i only buy gifts but not an entire tree alone
I understand how you feel.My friend from Philly used to visit me in VA.Bch. at least 3 times a year she would make me lots of Bows for upcoming holiday events. I couldn't make me a bow for nothing. That was in the 90's Once day I went and purchased another bow maker and didn't go to sleep until I could make these bows. After 4 hours I got it.Now I make double and triple bows. I thank the Lord everyday for this gift of crafting
Me too! This bow making, step by step.
I'm 45 and I feel the same way, lol...
My thoughts exactly!
This is the first video I ever watched for garden answer. I couldn't find a topper and deccided to make it from ribbon. Three years later I watch you ever day and return to this video every year.
I've watched a lot of videos on UA-cam on how to decorate a tree with ribbon and bows, but this is, by far, the best one I've seen. The problem with most of them is that you can't really see what the person is doing. This video clearly shows and you clearly explain all of the details. Thank you!
I'm a lefty and have two daughters....when you say the translation to right is tricky, reminds me of my girls.
I really appreciate as a lefty when mum joins you on your projects. Shes also adorable and sweet. Your very like your mum!🥰
I am so excited that you made this video. I have never made a bow and have always wanted to. I watched a couple other videos and kept thinking I wish Laura would show us how to do this. Now you did and you make it look so easy. Your trees are always beautiful with the ribbon. I’m going to give this a try. Thank you so much Laura!
gosh, last minute garland creation and here I am watching you step-by-step making bows! thanks!
I enjoy your videos so much. I learn a lot from you. I am in a wheelchair so l only have 2 raised bed boxes to plant things in, but I do ok. I am going to try to do my bows and ribbon Garland on my small tree like you just taught me. Hope it all works out. Good Bless you all, Kathy
Thank you for showing us how to do the ribbons. You have the best ribbons that I’ve seen on social media.
This is just in time for my bow making attempt. I just have never been able to make a bow I like! You’ve made it look so easy and given me some confidence that I can do it too! Your comment about sweating was hilarious 😂 totally relatable!
Your tree was beautiful with just the ribbons! The ornaments were icing on the cake. Just lovely! This is the first year that I'll be using ribbons so I'm very grateful for the inspiration and the demonstration.
Looks beautiful...Thank you for showing how to make the bow...
You are so accomplished on so many levels! Thank you for teaching and sharing!
Thankful for YOU! This has gotten me into the Christmas spirit. ...going ribbon shopping!
every time you blow my mind away laura!you are so creative.
Tanks Laura, everything will have bows now. I love the finished tree, they are also so beautiful. xx
I love ribbon my grandmother and I used to she taught me many ways to make bows packages for the tree for all kinds of things so when I watch you it takes me back and I remember I have been that's sort of my signature making bows for since I was a kid almost I now 66 pretty much retired but I still love making bows course when you make bows that means you end up decorating homes and other things as well love your work keep it up
Three years after this video posted and learning from Laura how to make bows❤️
You are just so knowledgeable and crafty for such a young age. You are so blessed. Thank you for sharing.
You made it so a heck of a lot easier! Keep doing more videos! PLEASE!!!!
I keep coming back to this. My bows were beautiful last year!
I watched this when you first did it and loved it. Now years later, I've viewed other intructional ribbon videos and I always come back to this. It is explained the clearest and is really the prettiest I've seen. Some trees are so covered with ribbon, you can't see the tree or the ornaments. Just love this, Laura. Thank you again.
Thank you for showing us how to put ribbon on a Christmas Tree😃👍🎄❤️🤗
Texas Lady
Just gorgeous. Doesn’t matter real or artificial, you have a way with trees!
Thank you for being willing to share all your tips. That tree was so beautiful . Blessings in this most thankful season.
I love this method of adding the ribbon to the tree. I have never seen it wound around like this.
Thankfully you gave so much detail. I have wanted to do this for years but had no idea how it was done
I love making my own bows but it's always beneficial to see how someone else creates them. Great job! I love how all of your trees are decorated. They're certainly show stoppers. This Christmas is going to be so special for you and your family with Benjamin's wide-eyed wonderment. Enjoy every second.
I remember admiring the ribbons on your trees in your videos last year, so thank you so much for showing us how to put them together! I had never seen Christmas trees with ribbons on before, but they look so amazing that I'm now really keen to try. You explain so clearly how to do it and it now feels achievable to give it a go - thank you!
Just what I needed to start my decorating. Plan to put the tree up tomorrow so your timing was perfect as well as your demo
I can not count how many video tutorials, blogs and one on one lessons I have been through.
This is the first one that makes sense
So simple
Really enjoyed the way you explained the bows. I can never do them nicely. Will give it a try this Christmas.
Thank you so much Laura, you are so kind to share all your ideas and tricks. I just simply love this style. Definitely will try this one this year. Wish me luck.....!!!
Just lovely, I did Christmas wreaths and trees for a nursery many moons ago. This reminded me of some great memories I had forgotten about.
I've tried teaching my daughters how to make bows, however I'm still doing theirs. I'm going to share your video with both of them ...I also love the way you use 3 or 4 different ribbons on the same tree. Two are usually what I've used in the past but I really love the look of your tree ...so I'll be using more different ribbons this year. Thanks for the great tutorial & I love the nutcrackers!
I am 56 years old and have never been able to make the bows. I think after watching you, I will have bows everywhere this Christmas. Thank you for all the inspiration. You are my new bff.
Thank you so much. I finally tried your method of making bows and I love how my bow turned out...it adds the right touch to our Christmas tree!
Such an informative video!! This will be the first year that I'm trying ribbon on our artificial tree! 🎗️🎀
Thanks for this video!! I have such a hard time with bows and ribbons!! 😘💕
I always love watching your videos! My mom and I are both lefties and she taught me that whenever you are trying to teach someone that uses the opposite hand, to sit in front them (crocheting is a really good example). 😊
Absolutely beautiful 💜, I love ribbons in Christmas🎄 trees, just makes it so full and elegant.
I will be making a trip to the Home Depot or another store to buy ribbon 🎀 so pretty!
Thank you for the tips for working with ribbons. This will surely be a help to me.
Congratulations on how beautifully everything is coming together for you.
Absolutely beautiful tree and your instructions were clear and demonstrated beautifully. Thanks for sharing that which is surprisingly difficult for many of us.
Absolutely gorgeous! Happy Holidays.
Your bow making lesson was the bomb. Thank you and now I know to get wired ribbon 😜 The nutcracker tree looks amazing.
Thank you so much to you both for this video and sharing your knowledge. I am going to go ribbon shopping this weekend! My mom was wanting bows to put outside on the house now I can attempt to make them!! I will apply this to my 🌲 also. Very excited!
I am so excited to try this Laura!! I will post a picture in this thread when I get it done. This far the tree has sat with just light on it for 2 weeks hahaha but it's pretty that way too!!
THANK YOU. Great info. You make it look so easy. Really appreciate you doing this video.
Thank you for sharing your ideas. I love the look and will be trying it. Happy holidays.
Glad I took time to watch this video, just amazing Laura ☃️
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the help! 🎀🎅🎄
OHH MY GOODNESS:) I can't thank you enough for this video. I threw out most of my ornaments after last Christmas. Wanting more quality ones and meaningful ones so this ribbon really fills in and looks so elegant. Love you guys. All the way from Australia;)
This is the first vlog that easily shows how professional effects are achieved. Thank you for sharing - you are very generous and amazing xx
So lovely ❤️ I love how much you and your mother put into the pretty things in life. It’s extra work, but so worth it and I’m trying to do the same. I hope some day I have someone to pass my Laura knowledge to ❤️🌸
Just finished the tree tonight, and thanks to you Laura, it looks pretty awesome! Thank you for your great videos and all of the inspiration!
Thank you so much for all of that work you did and showing how to make the bows and how you place the ribbon going down the tree and around. It is so beautiful. I really love the look of the tree with the ribbons and all those extra lights. I love going back and looking at your videos that I've seen over and over and over. And this is one that I really really appreciate to see it again and again and again. Thank you so much, you fill my heart with blessings.
Seriously. That tree doesn't need ornaments. The ribbons and lights are perfect.
I'll be saving this video, and watching again when I do our tree. I found beautiful purple velvet ribbon last year in an after season sale. I can't wait to use finally use it!
The ribbon looks beautiful and it seems to grace the tree. That is, it enhances the tree. I can't wait to see all of the trees you put up completely decorated. TFS
I love how you have shown us how to make the bows in a simple way. You do make it look so easy, that I am going to have another go at making them myself. I think they add another layer to the tree and elegance. Thanks for sharing.
It makes since to me now. Thank you for the video and Merry Christmas 🎄
Excellent video! Love your choices, you have a great eye for color, balance n proportion! Just wanted to offer a tip I learned from my mom who was a professional when it comes to decorating- she spent the majority of her life teaching others, men and women in her classes! She used bows all through the tree as well as the ribbon streamers, so after making a dozen or so bows, twisting the wire can really hurt your hands. She kept needle-nose pliers handy and grabbed the ends to twist with the pliers. It sure saves the fingers n can twist much tighter than just with fingers alone.
Thanks for the excellent video! Well done!!
Clever tips! Thank you!
That’s so beautiful! I have never tried ribbon on our tree but I am going to now! Thank you, Laura!
Thank you for talking about how you personally like the ribbon to lay and flow, I have admired this look before, but really had no idea how to begin. I may give this a try this year. Your tree decor, really classy, elegant, warm, festive. Thanks for the content.
So pretty! Thanks for sharing 🌲
Wow! Amazing! I love it!
Thank you for doing this video Laura. It’s awesome
Wow, That made bow making so easy. 😊 Thank you Laura.
Thank you!! It turned out beautiful! Very inspiring!
The ribbons add a layer of elegance to your trees.
Agreed. 🎄

Love love love this tree....all are beautiful but especially like the wide ribbon...thanks for the tutorial 🤗❤️🎄👍
I love all these holiday videos, thank you! 🎄
I have watched hours upon hours of Xmas tree decorating videos. This is such a good tutorial I got so many good tips 10/10
Sweetheart, you remind me of myself when I was your age. I'm 71 now and can't do that much decorating anymore. I thoroughly enjoyed this video as my initiation to your site. I'm sure I'll be watching more. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and hope you have a Happy New Year.
Thank you for this! Can’t wait to try ❤️
Ribbon is my favorite thing to add to a tree! And your trees are beautiful ♥️
Ok wow. I’ve never been able to understand how to make bows before! Watching you do it, I think I understand and will be able to do that for my tree next year! Thank you! Also, I’m a huge fan of traditional classic Christmas colors and ornaments, and the end result of that tree is beautiful! I love it! That tree just brings all the Christmas spirit to life! Wow!
Thank you so much Laura for sharing such fun video! I watch your videos every time they come out. You bring so much joy to my days. Watching this video has inspired me and given me a push to start my Christmas decor. I have 6 trees that I set up in our home and I love having new ideas on how to decorate them.
I Love you and your family. Praying for God’s blessings over you and yours as you continue to use your talents to bring joy into people’s homes. 🙏🏻🥰🍂
So pretty!! Can't wait to see your full Christmas decor!!
Love this! Hope to see more holiday decorating tips!
Thank you for the tip on rolling the tails to help them fall nicely!
Wow,so helpful.Thank you for helping us make bows.Such easy instructions!😊
What a fun project! My mom taught me how to make bows the same way, she was a lefty & I'm a righty too! She also had left handed scissors, took me forever to learn how to use them. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful tree ❤🎄
I did exactly what you said and my tree turned out stunning if I do say so myself! I love your videos and I rewatch the holiday ones!
I love your bows and ribbons tutorials. I just love the way your trees look, so pretty and colorful.
Thanks Laura, such a great tutorial x
Thanks so much for the tutorial! I always struggle with my ribbon. Maybe this year I’ll even try making a bow!
I AM OBSESSED WITH YOUR VIDEOS! Your home & Christmas decor is gorgeous!
Awesome! I am left handed too. Rather, more like two left thumbs. Thanks so much and enjoy your holiday.
Love watching you decorate in fast forward.
