I started with an all white base on my mantel……
As much as I love the clean, simple look of the all white mantel this girl needs a touch of color…..
…..So in comes a touch of red, some pine cones for a bit of texture to tie in with the basket. Now, it is looking a little better. Still not quite right……
ENTERS…… The Ribbons!!
Touches of Kelly green, red, lime green, and of course white, in the form of a swag!
Can you use ribbon without making a bow?
ABSOLUTELY
A Ribbon Swag With Streamers!! No Bow to be found!
Am I Done?
Not Yet! I have one more addition……

I just saw ribbon swags hung from small wreaths on bare windows. Very festive.
