DIY: Make your own ribbon garland with satin ribbon – 84 colours, professional result
A ribbon garland is a festive, stylish and affordable decoration for any event.
Whether you are decorating a wedding, setting up a trade fair stand or organising a birthday party: with a homemade satin ribbon garland you can instantly give your decor more appeal.
In this blog you will read step by step how to make a ribbon garland – with professional results.
And of course we will tell you why you should choose ribbons from Lintenkopen.nl.
Why satin ribbon?
Satin ribbon is the perfect choice for ribbon garlands.
It has a luxurious sheen, feels sturdy and is beautifully finished on both sides.
At Lintenkopen.nl you can choose from no fewer than 84 colours of satin ribbon, in various widths up to 5 centimetres.
This way you can perfectly match your ribbon garland to the colour theme of your event – from classic white and romantic old pink to striking turquoise or royal blue.
Our ribbons are also available in a fire-retardant version, which is often mandatory, especially for indoor locations and professional events.
What do you need?
For a standard ribbon garland of 2 to 3 meters in length you need the following:
3 to 5 rolls of satin ribbon in your favorite colors
A piece of cord, tape or rope as a base line
A pair of scissors or a rotary cutter
Tip: order ribbons in multiple colours and playfully combine them in different widths for a playful or chic effect.
How to make your ribbon garland (in 4 steps)
Determine the length.
Measure the space where the pendulum will hang.
Add an extra 10% to the total length for a nice arch.
Cut the ribbons.
Cut the ribbons to a length of approximately 60 to 80 cm.
Did you know that at Lintenkopen.nl we also offer custom-cut ribbon, directly from our cutting studio in Amersfoort? Ideal for those who want to make a lot of streamers at once or work for large events.
Tie the ribbons
Fold each ribbon in half and tie it with a loop around the base cord.
Work alternately in color order for a lively whole.
Then hang the garland in the desired location: on a backdrop, along the edge of a table or above an entrance.
Color advice: combine like a pro
A good color combination ensures a professional appearance.
Work with three basic colors in a ratio of 70% – 20% – 10%.
For example, choose:
White, taupe and gold for a chic wedding
Pastel pink, lilac and mint green for a baby shower
Red, dark green and white for a Christmas party
