Elevate the elegance of your holiday décor with Balsam Hill’s Christmas tree ribbons. Our tree ribbons are offered in a variety of colors and textures to give you refined accents that reflect your personal style.
What Kind of Christmas Ribbon Should I Use for My Tree?
Choose ribbons that suit your overall decorating theme as well as your ornaments and other tree trimmings. Here are a few ways to match your ribbons with popular Christmas themes:
- Farmhouse – Complete a rustic decorating theme with a burlap or plaid Christmas tree ribbon garland. Layer two different styles of ribbons to add depth and texture to your display.
- Classic Silver and Gold – Gilded and glittered ribbons will bring extra sparkle to your metallic decorating theme. Opt for the subtle shimmer of silk or sheer organza ribbons to lend a touch of romance.
- Nostalgic Cheer –Red and green plaid ribbons work best with traditional Christmas themes. To create a whimsical look, pick white Christmas tree ribbon with candy cane stripes or patterns depicting classic holiday scenes. Meanwhile, velvet ribbons with embroidered details will bring timeless sophistication to your traditional décor.
How Much Ribbon Do You Need for a Christmas Tree?
The amount of ribbon you will need depends on your tree’s height and width as well as your decorating style. Start with three yards of ribbon per foot of tree as a baseline. Then, adjust the length based on your style preference and technique.
- For a 6.5-foot tree, you will need about 19.5 yards or ribbon.
- For a 7.5-foot tree, you will need around 22.5 yards of ribbon.
- For a 9-10-foot tree, you will need at least 27 yards of ribbon.
How Do You Decorate a Christmas Tree With Ribbons?
Here are five ways you can use ribbons as garlands for Christmas trees:
- Wrap and Tuck Style – Loop the ribbon around your tree in a downward spiral. Start at the top then tuck the ribbon deep into the branches as you go. You may secure your ribbon with floral wires or pipe cleaners, or use a wired ribbon that can hold its shape.
- Ribbon Waterfall Technique – From the treetop, shape your wired ribbons into large billows that cascade down the tree. Weave the ribbons in and out of the foliage to create a wave pattern and secure them at intervals to interior branches.
- Ribbon Ornaments – Use two or more non-wired ribbons and cut them into strips with varying lengths for a layered effect. Tie the ribbons around the top of each Christmas ornament before hanging them up.
- Ribbon Bow Topper – Create your own tree topper by tying a wide wired ribbon into a bow. Fasten it to the top of your tree using floral wire or pipe cleaners. If you like the look of a Christmas tree with bows, choose Balsam Hill’s pre-tied Christmas tree bows that are easy to attach to your tree, wreaths, or garlands.
How Do You Finish a Christmas Tree Ribbon?
Here are different ways to finish the ends of your ribbon garlands without having to cut them:
- Croissant Twist – For wired ribbons, roll the end tightly around six or seven times then pull down the center to create a spiral. The ends should mimic the beautiful layers of a croissant.
- Reverse Roll – For wired ribbons with reversible designs, apply this technique by rolling the end of the ribbon back toward the front of the tree to show off the design underneath.
- Fish Tail – Cut the ends of your ribbons at an angle or into a fish tail shape for a simple yet charming effect.
Explore different designs of Christmas tree garlands as an alternative to ribbons or to add visual interest. Drape beaded or jeweled garlands around the branches to polish off your centerpiece.
Ribbons can also be used to add a festive touch to décor areas beyond the Christmas tree. Adorn your front door with wired outdoor Christmas ribbon tied into a large bow in place of the usual wreath.

Choosing a Tree Height
Tree Shape
Tree Light Type
Tree Foliage
Please note that all tree heights indicated on our website include the tree stand. If you want the tallest Christmas tree your room will allow, we recommend buying a tree that is six inches shorter than your ceiling height to allow some clearance for a tree topper. For example, if you have a standard 8 - 9 foot ceiling, we would suggest a 7½ foot tree. Here are some more tips:
Under 6 feet trees
Best for tabletops or secondary spaces like kitchens or dens
6 - 6 ½ feet trees
Designed to fit homes with low to average ceiling heights.
7 - 7 ½ feet trees
Our most popular size, designed to fit perfectly in rooms with average 8 - 9 feet ceilings.
9 feet trees
Our second most popular size, designed for rooms with tall ceilings of 10 - 11 feet to create a stunning effect.
10 - 12 feet trees
These trees are beautiful centerpieces for two-storey living rooms, rooms with very high ceilings and some commercial spaces.
15 - 30 feet trees
These oversized trees are popular with churches, malls, and large office spaces to create grand holiday display.
We offer artificial trees in a wide variety of shapes, from traditional full-width trees to space-saving slim trees and flatbacks. When choosing your tree, we suggest that you consider the diameter (in the Shape description, this might be described as Full 40") of the Christmas tree to help you choose the perfect tree for your space. This measurement is taken at the very widest point of the tree. If you plan to have a few branches touching a wall or a piece of furniture, the true space occupied by the tree will be about six inches less than the stated diameter.
Regular (Full) Trees
Our most popular choice because of their lush profiles and sturdy branches.
Narrow Trees
Perfect for an elegant effect in smaller rooms and apartments.
Slim Trees
Our most slender trees, ideal for tight spaces, corners and foyers.
Flatback Trees
An elegant solution for small spaces, studios and small apartments.
Topiary Trees
Beautifully accent all parts of your home including patios, entryways and porches.
Balsam Hill's designers carefully craft our trees to mimic nature using site visits and cutting from live trees to guide them. We offer three types of foliage options that are made from either PE or PVC material. While some trees use one type of foliage exclusively, others may use mix of foliage types to achieve a particular look. The specific mix is specified on each product detail page in the section that describes the tree's foliage.
True Needle™ Technology
Balsam Hill's exclusive True Needle&tade; evergreen foliage is used to create our most realistic and luxurious artificial Christmas trees. This ultrarealistic foliage is created with injection-molded PE plastic and several different colors of pigment to mimic the structure, texture, and color of natural evergreen needles. A unique feature of True Needle™ foliage is the color variations within the branches. For example, the branch might be a brown/green while the needles start off a dark green and slowly fade to a lighter green.
Classic Needles
Balsam Hill's Classic Needle foliage has soft, flat and flexible needles with a more classic artificial look. These needles are made from thin sheets of PVC that are cut into fine strands to resemble evergreen needles. We use these resilient, flexible needles as the primary foliage of many of the trees in our very affordable Traditional trees. It is also used as filler for most of our Realistic and Most Realistic Christmas trees because of its superior ability to block light and create a "full" look for the tree.
Pine Needles
The PVC pine needles used by Balsam Hill® are specially designed to mimic the size and texture of long, thin needles of a pine tree. These needles even have the rigid texture of real pine needles. If you roll them between your thumb and finger, you will feel the ridges.
If you long for the beautiful glow of lights on your tree but dread untangling the wires, Balsam Hill's pre-lit Christmas trees are the answer. All of our lights are UL® approved and professionaly strung on the tree by hand to minimize the appearance of wires. Each of our pre-lit trees for indoor use come with premium commercial grade lights so that if one bulb burns out or is removed, the rest stay lit. We have a wide variety of pre-lit lighting options to suit every decorating need.
Color+Clear™ Lights
Our exclusive Color + Clear™ remote-controlled lighting system is available in both incandescent and energy-saving LED. The handy remote lets you choose clear lights, multi-colored lights, or both. With more than 50% additional lights, your tree will still have plenty of beautiful lights even if only one light type is selected. If you choose both clear and colored lights, your tree will display more lights than any other artificial tree you will find.
Clear Lights
Enjoy the timeless look of clear lights. Our most popular style of pre-lit tree, clear lights give you the mose flexibility in your decorating, and the ability to change your look from year to year.
Multicolored Lights
Warm your home with these pre-lit trees featuring traditional, festive multicolored lights. Most of our multicolored pre-lit trees feature red, green, blue and yellow lights.
Candlelight™ led lights
