I wanted to make a cute holiday top out of Christmas ribbon, and I found the perfect ribbon at Walmart. They have some beautiful ribbons out with their Christmas collections this year. I love this 15 ft rich red velvet ribbon with gold detailing (Retail $12.98). It also comes in gold and emerald green. Check out my TikTok tutorial below to see how I used it to make my top!
I knew I needed a tube top or something to create the structure for the top, so I ordered a red one from SheIn for around $4. I got it in a size small.
How I Made My Christmas Ribbon Top
@flyfiercefab I’m at it again with another DIY ?. I wanted to make a top out of Christmas ribbon to wear to the @Mariah Carey Christmas concert ?✨. I can’t wait to see how it looks with my final outfit. #diyfashion #holidaytiktok #christmasoutfitideas #christmas2023 #outfitideas #blackgirltiktok ♬ Oh Santa! (feat.

- I started by cutting enough ribbon to wrap flat around the very top of the tube top, and tie it into a bow. I wanted the bow to help add structure for the tube top, and cover where I’m adding more ribbon to actually wrap around myself.
- I safety pinned the ribbon into place so I could go back and sew it down.
- I unrolled the rest of the ribbon, and safety pinned one end directly under the part I just attached. This way I could use this next section to wrap around the rest of my top and ensure it would lay flat over my chest, etc. That’s the most challenging part.
- I tacked the ribbon onto the top using invisible thread, in all the places where I placed safety pins. For example, I sewed it down in 3-4 spots at the very top and not the entire way across.
I love how my Christmas ribbon top came out! I might just wear this to the Mariah Carey Christmas concert.
Do you have your holiday outfits on deck? Are you going to see the Mariah Carey Christmas concert? Let me know in the comments!
