How to Decorate Packages With Christmas Bulbs
- 1). Select the ribbon and bulb colors that will best suit the paper you have used to wrap the Christmas gift. For a classic look, use green ribbon on red paper with a golden Christmas bulb.
- 2). Tie the ribbon around the package as you would when decorating any present. Tape the ribbon on the back of the gift to keep it from slipping off the package. Allow enough excess ribbon to tie on the bulb tightly and curl or bow the ends, approximately 8 inches long on either side. You should now have two pieces of ribbon hanging off of the package to tie the bulb on with.
- 3). Thread one of the pieces of ribbon through the loop at the top of the Christmas bulb that you would typically put the hook through were you hanging it on a tree. Slide the bulb down the ribbon until it meets the package. Tie both pieces of ribbon together, securing the bulb to the package.
- 4). Curl the excess ribbon for added decoration, or simply tie it in a bow or even cut it off completely leaving only the bulb as your decoration.
