    Excellent video! Love your choices, you have a great eye for color, balance n proportion! Just wanted to offer a tip I learned from my mom who was a professional when it comes to decorating- she spent the majority of her life teaching others, men and women in her classes! She used bows all through the tree as well as the ribbon streamers, so after making a dozen or so bows, twisting the wire can really hurt your hands. She kept needle-nose pliers handy and grabbed the ends to twist with the pliers. It sure saves the fingers n can twist much tighter than just with fingers alone. Thanks for the excellent video! Well done!!
