How to Make a Ribbon Wreath

* Floral foam wreath (8-12 inches)

* 2-3 rolls 1.5-inch wired ribbon

* Scissors

* Wire

* Glue gun

* Ribbon (optional, for additional embellishments)

Instructions

1. Trim the Ribbon

i. Cut the ribbon into 8-inch lengths.

ii. Cut the ends of the ribbon on a diagonal, to make them look neater.

2. Make the Bows

i. Fold one end of the ribbon upwards and over, as if you were starting a bow tie.

ii. Fold the ribbon around itself to make a small loop.

iii. Pinch the loop together and wrap the ribbon around it to form a bow.

iv. Tie a thin piece of wire around the center of the bow, leaving some excess wire on one end.

3. Insert Bows into Floral Foam

i. Start inserting the bows into the foam wreath, beginning at an inner circle.

ii. Push the wire stems of the bows into the floral form, spacing them evenly around the wreath.

iii. Continue inserting bows into successive outer circles until the wreath is completely covered.

4. Secure Bows

Once all the bows are in place, gently bend the remaining ends of the wire on the inside of the wreath to secure the bows.

5. Add Embellishments

Add additional ribbon or other decorations to the wreath, as desired.

Tips

* Use a variety of ribbon colors and styles to create a unique and personalized wreath.

* Experiment with different bow sizes and placements to achieve the desired look.

* Secure bows with glue gun for extra security.

* Add a decorative hanger to the wreath so that it can be displayed easily.

* This ribbon wreath makes a great gift for friends and family.
