IKEA’s $6 Ornament Has Big Heirloom Energy (Without the Price Tag

It’s hard to pinpoint the precise moment when a trend becomes a part of traditional decor, but it seems that bows have finally gained staying power. Regardless of the time of year, bows always seem to complete a look — especially around the holidays. If you missed out on the moment, IKEA is selling $6 bows that are perfect for this season.

The great thing about these bows, which are made from recycled paper, is that they come with clips on the back, so they’re easy to attach to pretty much anything. Use them to decorate your Christmas tree, or clip them onto napkins at your holiday table for place cards. Or you could even use them for gift wrapping if you want to make your wrapping reusable (like repurposing fabric!) this year.

The set of eight bows comes with two larger 8-inch bows and six 3 1/2-inch bows, so you can mix and match them however you decide to use them. 

The bows are new, so there aren’t a ton of reviews yet, but the ones already on site are positive. 

“Super cute for hanging on the tree, around the house, or anywhere else. The tongs are super useful, highly recommend!” one IKEA shopper wrote in their review. Someone else added that they love how these bows are reusable. You can keep them in a plastic container in your Christmas bin to ensure they won’t get crushed by your other decorations when you store them away at the end of the season.

If your local IKEA doesn’t have them available, Michaels has clip-on bows. These velvet ribbon bows come in a wide variety of colors and measure about six inches in length. Each set comes with six bows, and the clip back makes them ready to attach to trees, garlands, presents, and more. 

Bows make the holiday season so much sweeter — especially when they come ready to go! Grab the VINTERFINT set from IKEA while they’re still available, and deck the halls with recycled paper that’s never looked better.
