How to Make a Wreath Bow

Supplies:

Wired Ribbon
Floral Wire

Before starting cut a piece of floral wire about 5-6″ long and form into a “V” shape.  Set aside.

To start hold the piece of ribbon in your non-dominant hand and make a loop leaving about an eight inch tail.

Continue holding the ribbon and fold the ribbon in the opposite direction forming a figure eight.

Continue looping the ribbon back and forth until you have at least four loops on each side.

Using the floral wire set aside earlier loop the wire around the center of the bow and twist the two ends to secure the ribbon.

Ohmygoodness y’all can I tell you that I have THE. WORST. NAILS. ever.  Just look away until you scroll down, I won’t be offended.

Trim the ribbon leaving another 8″ tail and wrap the tail around the center of the bow to cover the wire. Fluff the loops to your liking and you’re done making a bow out of ribbon!
