Bows on Cabinet Handles

Think of this as the kitchen version of tying a ribbon on a present – simple, festive, and totally customizable. With the right ribbon and placement, bows become a standout holiday touch instead of just filler.

How to Style It

• Use wired ribbon (1.5–2.5 inches wide) so the bows hold their shape
• Cut each piece around 18–24 inches long depending on how long you want the tails
• Tie directly onto cabinet knobs or handles with a classic bow or loose knot
• Adjust loops and tails so they sit upright and look balanced

Ribbon Styling Tips

• Stick to upper cabinets to keep things clean and eye-level
• Try every other cabinet for balance, especially in larger kitchens
• Red velvet, plaid, burlap, or satin – choose a look that matches your vibe
• Avoid lower cabinets – they tend to get kicked or smudged
