Classic Red & White Christmas Tree and Mantle | Word & Home

It’s the most magical time of year with twinkling lights and sparkling inspiration EVERYWHERE!! This year I wanted all the red on my tree with red ribbon, polka dots, and even some unusual ribbon with a twist!! Come on in and take a tour of my classic red and white Christmas tree and mantle, just in time for December!!

I’m a sucker for pretty ribbon and this year my picks are pretty simple, but I think they’ll look beautiful on the tree!! The flocked, wire ribbon is my favorite!!

I like to cut smaller sections and tuck it into the tree in a vertical pattern. I’ll add the wire ribbon last, and to make it pop I’ll tuck it on top of the red.

After I add my ribbon I always add these beautiful red ornaments, my favorites!! I’ll also add some red berry picks to the top and a few onto the limbs of the tree.

I love to tuck signs into my tree as a finishing touch!! This one came from Hobby Lobby!! What do you think?

To attach the sign to the tree I drilled a small hole in the back and used a twist tie to attach to a tree limb.

Now for the classic red & white mantle…

To create the mantle garland I combined two garlands together. I added some spray snow, lights, ribbon, and large Dollar Tree bells to finish it off!!
