How To Decorate A Glam Christmas Tree With Crystals / Christmas Decorations 2025 / Ramon at Home

Hey, hey you guys, welcome back to Ramon at Home. I'm so excited you're here today because in today's video, I have perhaps my favorite Christmas tree that I've ever done on my YouTube channel. It is a crystal inspired Christmas tree that I know you're going to love. It is super easy to put together and I just cannot wait for you guys to see. So if you are interested in how to decorate a gorgeous Christmas tree for Christmas 2025, please stay tuned. Don't forget to like this video and share it with your friends on Facebook, on Instagram, and on WhatsApp. Why? Well, because it is free and it really helps this channel. Plus you wanna be that person who invite them to come and join. All right, you guys, are you ready to see this beautiful crystal tree DIY? Let's get started. All right, you guys, so we're gonna start with this beautiful Christmas tree and I chose a gorgeous all crystal glass, silver champagne kind of theme. It's going to be super elegant and glam. And so for that, I chose this beautiful ribbon. You guys, look how beautiful, pretty this is. I'm gonna drop it on the floor and I'm gonna cut out a slant because I feel like these beautiful ribbons, they are super fancy, they look better when I cut out a slant. So what we're going to do is we're gonna give ourselves about a, I wanna say about eight inch tail and we're going to pleat right here. We're gonna bring a loop and then we're going to pinch again. Then what we're going to do is we're going to pleat back. So this is why you want to see a big loop, this little tail, and then obviously this gorgeous ribbon. We're gonna leave it attached to our bolt so that way we can keep going. But what I'm going to do is I'm gonna grab some wire. I'm going to really tightly attach. And so look at this, you're gonna get one loop, one tail, and then the ribbon that we're going to work. Excuse me as I undo my button because it's a little tight. So I'm gonna start over on this side. And the way we wanna do that is we're going to have this beautiful ribbon be our main layer on the top right here. And so we're gonna give it a little bit of a fluff. And then what you want to do is pull that ribbon forward, pinch right here. Then we're going to grab one of these bristles and we're going to create basically another loop. As you can see right here, we have our beautiful loop, then this loop, and then what I'm going to do is we're gonna bring that ribbon back again and we're going to fold back one more time, bringing that ribbon, making that loop. And we're going to attach once more with another bristle right here, pushing back and look at this. Now we have these beautiful loops over on this side. And what I'm going to do is I'm gonna grab my scissors and I'm gonna cut right here at an angle. And you guys, this ribbon, it's so stunning. It is super firm. As you can see, it really holds the shape of your beautiful bows. And so what you want to do is bring this ribbon forward. You wanna always have it looking at you. Then we're going to go up, fold them in half, and then we're going to pinch and gather like this. Then we're gonna give it half a twist and you wanna be left with this loop, this little tail, and then the big ribbon that we're going to be using. So once again, I'm going to attach a wire right here really tightly, because remember, this wire is what we're going to use to attach to our Christmas tree. So now I'm going to scale one down, making sure that I have all of this beautiful ribbon looking down like this. And I'm going to grab one of these bristles and I'm going to attach right here. So now we're gonna have this beautiful bow right here. And we're going to do the same thing, but not coming this way. So once again, we're gonna give it a bit of a loop, fold it in half, push it in, grab a bristle and twist it back and see how that gave us that loop. And so now we're going to repeat one more time. We're gonna fold in half, push it in and grab yet another of these bristles and just go around. Now, if your tree doesn't have this bristle kind, what you need to do is grab a wire and wire it together. And so now I'm going to grab my scissors one more time and I'm going to cut right here at an angle. Let's see, I feel like we need another one going down this way. So I'm going to do the exact same thing always having the ribbon looking forward to me and see, I almost ran out of ribbon. So I'm going to grab another one. I'll be right back with you. Keep watching. Honey, I'm back, back, back again with another bow. So what I'm going to do is give us ourselves that loop where we're going to gather up, pinch forward and then we're going to twist like this. And we're going to grab our wire. Always, I'm telling you to have your tools at the ready because you're going to become more efficient by doing that. So once we do this, what we need to do is fluff our ribbon. So I'm going to attach now another one. Remember, we're going down as a step ladder motion and I'm going to go maybe right about here. I'm going to grab a bristle and twist it in. And what I'm going to do is grab my ribbon and then pinch the loop. Remember to fold it in half. Once you fold it in half, you bring it in and you twist the bristle. Then once again, you want to make sure that you give it enough give. Then you fold it in half and then you bring it in like this. You grab a bristle to attach. Once they're attached, you can really go in there and kind of fluff them the way you want them. I am, I'm, I swear to you guys that I'm looking for a tool belt because I always am putting my scissors down and I can never find them. All right, so once again, we have one, two, three. Now I'm going to go all the way over here and I'm going to do my last one. So really quick, give yourself a tail, bring it up, fold it forward. Once you have it folded forward, twist that beautiful side forward like this. So you have your small tail, your loop, and then also your ribbon. And we're going to grab that wire at this point because this is a velvet ribbon. I'm doubling my wires, it really is attached to it. So now we have this beautiful bow and now I'm going to go over here. Once again, grab this bristle and twist it in. Once it's all in place, go ahead and fluff. And we're going to grab our ribbon. We're going to fold in half. Remember to make that loop and grab a bristle and twist it in like that. And at this point, look, I'm going to just cut right here at an angle and I'm going to let it fold down like that. All right, so that's our first ribbon. I might use some of these leftover ribbon later on to do some tails or loops, we'll see. But the next ribbon that I'm going to add is this beautiful D. Stevens. You guys, check out how beautiful this is. It just glistens and glitters and it's perfect for this. So now what we're going to do is we're going to do the same thing. We're going to grab a ribbon. We're going to cut at an angle, even though with this one, you probably won't be able to see the angle. We're going to give ourselves a tail. We're going to go up. We're going to pinch forward, separating that loop, always making sure that it's forward. Then you twist and then you bring up. So we're going to do a two loop bow. We're going to grab our wire. I love this one, you guys. This is my fifth year working with this ribbon. It is absolutely gorgeous. It is so festive. Look at that. That tail right here has so much movement. It's almost like a flyaway. So you want these bows. And now what I'm going to do, so I'm going to start maybe right here. So I'm going to give myself one. Actually, you know what? I'm going to start right here with the top one. I'm going to introduce it right there. And that's going to give us a three loop bow. And what you want to do is finesse right here. You might want to have those tails hanging up like this. And then what you want to do is you want, you're going to repeat, but what you want to do is have enough space between this ribbon and this ribbon. So you're going to grab right here. You're going to pinch. We're going to grab a bristle. We're going to twist in and see how there's enough space to put your hand in. So we're going to do it one more time like this. Remember to fold forward, attach right here. And then we're going to cut at an angle right here. How pretty is that? Do you see how that creates all of those loops? Let's do it one more time. This is a mistake that I was making before by having the tail going up. Trust me when I tell you, it is way easier to fold it forward and then bring that ribbon up, pinch, twist. And this is where you separate the tail because we want that movement and then bring it up again and then twist. And you grab your wire. Having your wires already cut, you guys, it's a lifesaver, especially if you're out there working for your customers. I am telling you, you're going to become so much quicker and your customers are going to love, love, love. I love it when my customers tell me, oh, I love watching you work because you're so fast. I just love that. All right, so now that I have my ribbon, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go over to this side. But on this particular one, I'm going to go more this way. So I'm going to do the same thing. I'm going to bring it in right here and push it all the way through. So it looks like they were made together. We're going to swoop like that. Look how pretty that tail is. And so once again, we're going to give ourselves a long swoop. We're going to fold and then we're going to bring in right here, looking for one of those bristles. Once again, you guys, if your tree doesn't have those bristles that bend, what you need to do is grab a wire, pinch where you want it, and then attach with a wire one more time right here. So we're going to attach right here. We're going to fold back. And once again, I need my belt because look where I put my scissors. I really hope that you are enjoying this Christmas season, you guys. I'm having so much fun creating all of these looks for you. I love the fact that we are just getting it done. Christmas, it can be a lot for some people. And so I just love teaching you all of these techniques in hopes that you will too become a master designer of Christmas trees, right? All right, so now I'm going to bring it in with a wire. And what I'm going to do is I already did one, one, so I'm going to bring it over on this side. So I'm going to go to this guy right here. I am obsessed, I'm telling you, with this ribbon. It's so pretty. But for this one, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go over to this side. So you guys can see. So once again, grab your ribbon, make a loop, fold it, grab a bristle and fold it in right here. Remember to have enough space between one ribbon and the other one. And then we're going to bring it forward one more time. We're going to pinch and gather. And we're going to make another loop right here. And then I'm going to cut this ribbon at an angle. You guys, give it up for Jameson, who's behind the camera. He's been helping tremendously to get these videos. You want to come and say hi? Why not? You guys, he just said no. I'm telling you, he's so shy. Come over here. You have something to say to the peeps? We're back. We've got more. We have a lot coming up. What is your favorite one so far? I'm always asking this question because out of all the trees that we've done, he cannot come up with one. Well, because I know what's coming down the pipeline. So that's why. That's true. Okay, that's it. All right. Thank you, Jameson. He's so funny. Okay, so now we're going to finish the last one right here. I'm going to grab my ribbon. That's it, he said. I'm going to go up, remember? And then I'm going to go around, bring it up. And just so you know, I only use one of these bolts of ribbon. It's a 10 yard. And out of the other one, I used two bolts, but it was five yard. And with 10 yards of each, you can decorate a tree. But if you're doing all the way around, of course, then I recommend you use, to you double it. So 20 yards of ribbon. So I'm going to go right here. I'm going to attach to one of my bristles. And then we're going to go over to this side to make a loop. And this one, because it has some open spaces, it gets attached to the tree. So we're going to put right here a loop. And then we're going to let this one hang down because that's what we did with this other one. So we're going to just cut right here. And let's see. We have a little bit of this left leftover. Let me see if I can make a tiny little bow. So instead of pitching this ribbon, we could attach it to the top of our tree. Let's see. I'm going to try, like I said, we only have this much. So what I'm going to do like a two loop bow. Yeah, we can. Or maybe even, no, yeah, a two loop bow will do. We can always twist it like that. Grab, instead of pitching all that ribbon, you can just make yourself a little topper and attach it to the top of your Christmas tree. You'll see what I mean right now. Let's just put it right here, right next to our big bow. And that just looks like this is a bigger bow on the top, which is our topper. All right, you guys, so this is step number one. I'm going to get step number two ready and I'll be right back with you. Keep watching. All right, so we're back and we are back with our next step, which is going to be ornaments. If you guys know, and if you've been following the channel, you know that we have a forced stem. Oh, Jameson, thank you so much. My scissors, you guys. A forced waste process, which is ravens first, which we've done, then ornaments second. And then after that, we do stems, florals, picks. And then at the end, we do accent ravens if we have any. I don't think on this particular tree we'll do any accent ravens. We'll see, you guys. I'm always changing my mind as I go. So I'm going to start right here on the top. And remember to always zigzag. For these particular ones, these are plastic, you guys. This tree is going to be filled with glass ornaments, but I wanted to put some plastic ornaments on it to fill in some of those gaps. So basically what I'm doing is I am grabbing this ornament and I'm twisting. And these particular ones have this little thing right here that you can turn it on. Look at that. How cute is that? And you can turn it off. You can turn it on, you can turn it off. But for this particular case, I'm just going to fill in some dots. Like I said, I'm going to push them in a little bit further into the tree. And I'm going to add some different texture like this. It's almost like a hobnail that I just love. And remember to wire your ornaments. I'm going to add one right here. Now, remember, we want to save some of the prominent spots for more of our glass ornaments, because we want to see those. Glass ornaments will really help you catch the light and they will create a beautiful, beautiful, spectacular glow that only glass ornaments can give you. But I do want to have some filler in. I want your eye to be able to travel all throughout the tree. And it's just going to look absolutely spectacular. So I'm going to continue adding these plastic ornaments. And at this point, I want to say, you guys, if you've been enjoying this Christmas season, be sure to leave a comment down below and let me know what is your favorite. And I'll tell you a funny story. Today, I don't know when you'll be watching this video, but today it's Saturday and we are at Shinoda Design Center. And today I had this customer come in and she was shopping as I was shopping to put these looks together. And she was just so excited. So if you are watching, I did not catch your name, but I showed her the purple tree that you guys saw. That was the first tree. Wyn and Lynn. Hey, Wyn and Lynn. Wyn and Lynn. Hi, if you're watching, I just want to say thank you so much for saying hi. I really appreciate your time. And, but what I was going to tell you is that they, she was obsessed with those poinsettias or those magnolias from the very first tree we decorated this Christmas season, which was the purple tree. You guys, if you have not seen the purple tree, I'm going to link it down below. It was spectacular. Those magnolias were so beautiful and they were in love with them. And so they came here to purchase those and they happened to say hi. And I just love saying hi to you guys. And every time I have the chance to say, thank you for the opportunity that you guys gave me to do what I love. You know, I always, I always say it because it is true. If it's not for you watching, then I wouldn't be able to decorate all these Christmas trees, go to market, do all the things that I love to do for the holiday season. All right, so as you guys can see, I'm just putting all of these Christmas ornaments. I'm not going to put that one right. I feel like I need one right here. Although I was saving the spot for more of a glass ornament right here. And then also don't forget to fluff those ribbons as you go. So there you go. So we can see some of that ribbon as well. All right, so I have a last one I was not going to add, but you know what? Why not? I already have it and it's the last one. So why not? At this point, I added about four ornaments of each. I'm going to add it. Maybe, let me see, maybe right here. I lift up my ribbon and I'm going to add right here. All right, so now moving on to my next favorite ornament that I found this time around. And I already went ahead and put one in here because, well, I'm obsessed with them. And they come with this string because they are glass. Look how pretty you guys. And this have some jewels and look how stunning this is. Has like this argyle pattern. And every time that the lines meet, there's a jewel to them and they're larger. So I'm going to look for some prominent spots, like right here. I'm going to open all of that. And then I'm going to push it in and grab a bristle. And I'm going to make sure that I double tie it because they're made out of glass. So we want to make sure that we double secure those glass ornaments so that we don't lose them at the end of the season. I'm going to grab another one. And for this particular ones, because we are at Shinoda Design Center, I'm leaving the tags on. You guys know that I'm always telling you to get rid of those tacky tags, but well, we are at a retail store where they have to sell all of this product. So I just go ahead and leave it on for them. But what I do want to make sure is that I double tie this gorgeous ornament. And see how much light that catches? It just, it's different from a plastic ornament than a glass ornament. So I'm going to add one more. Look how gorgeous this is. Oh my gosh. These are hand-blown glass ornaments. And like I said, I want to put them in bigger spaces, like right here. And then also you want to put some up, some down, some in, some out. So this particular one is going to be really beautiful on the tree. And then I have the smaller size right here. These already have a chenille on them. So I'm going to look for a spot and I'm going to push it in. I'm going to grab one of the bristles. I'm going to twist that chenille in like that. That's going to secure my ornament in place. Let me see. I'm going to move over to this side and I'm going to add one right here. So I'm going to lift up the ribbon and twist that chenille. And look how much light is catching you guys. I absolutely love it. It makes me giggle because I just love it so much. Okay, so this one, we have to readjust that chenille because we need some stem. So we have to make sure that that chenille is longer, but we want to make sure that we double secure. So I'm going to bring another one, maybe right here. I love, love, love a glass ornament. I'm trying to collect all glass ornaments, but they're a little bit more pricey, but you know what I've been doing? Every year I get like four or five. And so now I have a collection and I was actually telling the owner here, Shinoda, that she's like, how do you make sure that, you know, you don't break them or whatever? I said, well, all of my ornaments, all of my Christmas stuff, you guys, is a storage unit. However, all of my crystals, we're talking about crystals, all of my crystals and all of my glass ornaments like this, they are in a closet in my home. And I take care of them so much because they are pricier than a regular ornament. But as you can see, it just adds so much to a tree. I'm going to come over to this side. And I'm going to twist, double twist. I'm going to grab another one. All right, so I'm going to finish putting this ornament on the tree. As you guys can see, it's very repetitive and I'll be right back with you. Keep watching. All right, so we are back with our third step, which is going to be our stems, picks, and florals. And I'm going to use some of these beautiful magnolia. However, I don't want it to stick out too much. I want to keep the shape of my tree, you guys. So what I'm going to do basically is I'm going to separate this magnolia. Look how much bigger this gets. And it has a really long stem. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to push it back, fold it in half. And I'm going to start right here on the bottom. I'm going to cross over to this side and I'm going to bring one right here. So what I also can recommend is that when you add your magnolia, give it a little bit of a twist so that way the foliage will catch the light. Now, some of these ones I'm going to have to cut into two because I need to go to the top. So if Jameson, if you don't mind, pass me my wire cutters over on that side. I'd appreciate it. So I'm going to separate right here. And right here, basically you can see, thank you so much. You can see where you can cut. I'm going to see if I can pull it. Nope, it's too tight. So I'm going to cut right here and we're going to have these two. So I'm going to put some right here on the top. I'm going to go right here between my bows on that side. And then I'm going to go to the back and I'm going to add one straight up like that. So that's going to give us that magnolia all throughout. Remember where it goes up must come down. What happens on the right happens on the left. I'm going to insert one right here. We want to just add a little bit of this magnolia. I'm basically adding only six stems and I'm going to go in and out. And then also this one is too long. So I'm going to have to fold it in half like this and then give it a little bit of curvature. I'm going to go right here. Like I said, I don't want it all throughout the tree because what I'm trying to do is display all of those glass ornaments. However, I do want some of this texture in there. And that also is going to help me to, well, add a lot of texture to my tree. So I'm going to go over to this side. Remember where it goes up must come down. So if you put one on the left, put one on the right. But now what I'm going to add is one of my favorite stems. This particular one, you guys, I had to buy some for myself. It is super affordable. I'm going to cut one first to go to the top. And let me see. I'm going to put this one on the very top right here. Like so. Look how pretty. And then I'm going to do the other one, maybe just about here. A little, just as, this is what this is going to do. It's going to catch some of that light. And I just want you to see how absolutely beautiful this is. Look at all of that glitter. Oh my goodness, it's so beautiful. And every single stem is wire. So what you can do is just really play with it. And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go over to this side right here. I'm going to insert one right here. This is going to be our flyaway. Remember, Ramona Home does not do an arrangement, a wreath, a swag, or a Christmas tree without a flyaway. And so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go down on an S motion till I get to the bottom of it. And I'm going to continue to add some of these right here. And push it down and make sure that it swoops down. And at the very bottom, what we're going to do is we're going to go over to this side and I'm going to push some right here at the bottom. Like this. I'm going to do three. One on the left, one on the right, and one in the middle. But not without, always, always, always fluffing. And you guys will see me use this. Like I said, I got a whole bunch of it to have at home for the holiday season. So you will see me use this all season long. You guys, this is one of my favorites for Christmas. My other favorite that I'm sure you know is the gold ribbon. This is my second favorite. I should do a favorites video, huh? Because the favorites is the ones that you guys are going to see me use all season long. All right, so now I'm going to go right here. Okay, that's good. We're going to stop right here. I'm going to get me some crystals and I'll be right back with you. Keep watching. All right, so we're back and I got some crystals. You know, our fourth step usually is accent florals, but in this case, we're going to add some beautiful strings of crystal-like, oh my gosh, no, this tangled a lot. I'm going to have to cut it somewhere. Oh my God, you guys. Okay, so I'm going to cut it right here because we do need that garland effect. So here you go. It's going to be like this. So I'm going to start right here on the bottom and I do want it to drape down. Like I said, I'm going to start on the bottom and you will see it on the closeup, but you might not be able to see it right now, but I have to start at the bottom. So I have one continuous garland motion. So I'm going to start by telling you that they have this Ashinara Design Center and they are really affordable, you guys. As I was telling you, I was talking to the owner about the crystals I use in my house and they have this particular kind. They're more like clear plastic that looks like crystal, but it's not crystal. And what I like to do is like, leave all of this crystals hanging as much as I can, giving some soups and go through my ornaments and just go all the way around. I'm going to attach some of the bristles so that way I can hold them into place and I'm just going to let it hang down. So now to do the next layer, we're going to move on to a smaller, actually, you know what? I'm going to try and use one of these bigger crystals towards the top to see what we can do with it. So they do come in this plastic bag. We have to free them. As you guys can see, how beautiful are these? Oh, I love it. And the easiest way to do it is if you grab it like this and like, I want to add some right here in the middle. So I'm going to add one right here. I'm going to grab this and just let it lay right there. I'm going to soup it down and then I'm going to find a place where I want the crystal. Then I'm going to soup it down and then I'm going to find another place where I want that crystal. So it just gave me that garland motion and I'm going to go over to this side just to make sure that I secure it. You want to make sure that these are secured. So you might want to grab one of those bristles that you attach your ribbons with and just fold it in. And so now I'm going to bring in the next kind which is this smaller kind. The further we get up to the top, of course it has to be smaller because we have to be able to keep that shape of the garland. So I'm going to go right here. I'm going to put one right here. Look how pretty you guys. Oh my gosh. So I'm going to make sure that I soup down right here. I absolutely am in love with this. And once again, just grab one of those bristles and attach it to it. And I'm going to go over to this side. Also what you could do is grab a little wire and wire it of course. I'm going to go right here like that. Now here's another secret you could do is we're going to grab one of these guys right here. We're going to open it. This was a bigger garland and here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to grab this garland and I'm going to count one, two, three, four, five. And then I'm going to cut like this. Make sure that I free it from it. So that's going to leave us with five of them and you're going to grab a wire and we're going to wire like an ornament. That's another way to use these garlands. So you want to find these right here. Look at this. And it's going to attach it. And so now it's going to hang down like an ornament. We'll do it one more time. Let's see. One, two, three, four, five. We cut and we free it from its cage. And then we're going to, with a disc that we have left over from the other side, we're going to grab a wire, wire our ornament. And what we're going to do is we're going to grab one of these longer stems and then we're going to swirl around. And look at that, how pretty. All right, you guys. So I'm going to continue adding these crystals and I'll be right back to give you one last step. I think you're going to like it. All right, you guys. So we're almost done. As you guys can see, the tree's looking spectacular, but I would not finish this tree without adding some of these gorgeous ornaments that are like crystal encrusted and has a beautiful ball on the bottom. They come on this string. Now, this particular ornament, I do want to keep it on the string because it will be easier to attach. So what we need to do is find the branch like this right here. And so what we're going to do is we're going to twist, twist, twist all the way around my branch until it hangs down like that. I'm going to do it one more time. So we're going to grab our ornament. We're going to pull up. And at this point, it's getting really tight, but I have to find a spot like right here. And then we're going to twist until that ornament, it's basically dangling from it. And it just looks like a beautiful chandelier. I actually love them. This is what I call my Beyonce chandelier earring ornaments. I'll just show you one. If you like it, then you... I just think they're absolutely gorgeous. And so I'm going to add another one, maybe up here, and I'm going to hang it from this branch. And I want this to reflect all of the light and just look absolutely stunning. So I'm going to leave this one right here, making sure that I face it forward. Then also I have these other ones right here. They're made out of all of these crystals on both sides. So these would be really pretty to dangle from other branches, like perhaps, let's see, over... You guys, this tree is getting really packed. So it's going to be hard for me to find a place, but I'm going to put it right here. I'm going to twist it a few times, and then we're going to just let it hang. And like I said, that's going to catch all of the light. I have a few of each, or a few of these left, and just this one right here. I'm going to hang him, flap this tree, and give you a closeup. So keep watching. And here is the end result of this beautiful crystal Christmas tree. Oh my gosh, you guys, I cannot tell you how much I love this ornament. And the ribbon, check out this silvery, beautiful ribbon. It's a velvet. And this ribbon right here, it catches all of the light. I am obsessed with this fern pick. It just gives the tree a lot of depth and a lot of brightness. But what I want you to see, and you will really see on the bottom of it, is the beadwork with all of these beautiful crystals. Oh my gosh. I'm going to actually even go down so you can see all of the crystals draping down from this beautiful Christmas tree. It just turned out absolutely gorgeous. And I cannot wait to read your comments.
