Description
This hanging velvet bow decoration brings a rich red note to the Christmas tree and beyond. It is a generous, plump bow made in soft velvet, with two full loops at the top, a neat knot at the centre and two long tails that fall and flare out beneath. The velvet has a gentle sheen that catches the light, so the red reads deep in one fold and bright in the next. A gold twisted cord rises from the knot, ready to hang. Its front measures 31.9cm one way and 26.2cm the other, and it is 5.6cm deep, so it has real body and never looks flat.
At that size it is made to be seen. We like it at the top of the tree in place of a star, or tied to the front of a wreath on an inside wall or chimney breast. It looks just as good hung from a mirror, a mantelpiece hook, the end of a banister or a dresser handle. Because it hangs from its cord, it is easy to move from room to room as the season goes on. Red velvet sits happily with traditional schemes of gold, green and white, and gives a simpler, pared back tree one warm focus.
The bow comes ready finished with its gold hanging cord, so there is nothing to tie or assemble: loop the cord over a branch, a hook or a nail and it is in place. To keep the pile looking its best, brush it lightly with a soft dry cloth to lift any dust, and keep it out of damp. When the decorations come down, store it in a box with room around it so the loops keep their shape for next Christmas. It also makes a lovely addition to a Christmas hamper or a festive house gift.
