Miniature satin bows are dotted in the corners of the dressing mirror to enhance the sense of agility of the space through light reflection.

    Example of festive atmosphere conversion:

    Ceramic utensils are decorated with red and gold silk ribbon bows during the Spring Festival, which is innovative in tradition; red and green checkered cotton bows are wrapped around the stair handrails at Christmas, which are easier to store than colored lights and can be reused for many years; matte champagne-colored ribbons are used to unify the details of the ceremony area at the wedding, creating a low-key and high-end feeling.


    3. Sustainable practice: low-cost and high-value decoration philosophy (excerpt)

    Reuse plan:

    The complete ribbon bow after the holiday gift box is disassembled can be fixed to the refrigerator door with magnetic suction for daily decoration; the wedding chair back decoration can be reorganized into a photo wall decoration.

    Demonstration of repurposing old items:

    Cut and weave worn plain curtains into contrasting bows to cover the seams of pillows; recycle gift box ribbons to make mini bookmarks.
