How to Make a Bow With Multiple Ribbons for Wreaths

Supplies:

- 4 different colored ribbons (1.5 inches wide and 18 inches in length)

- Scissors

- Hot glue gun and glue sticks

- Floral wire (18 gauge) and wire cutters

Instructions:

1. Create the Bow Loops:

- For each ribbon, make a loop, leaving about 2 inches of ribbon at the bottom for tails.

- Secure the loop in place with a small amount of hot glue from the hot glue gun.

2. Glue Second Loop:

- Position another ribbon over the first loop and create another loop.

- Glue this loop in place just like the first one, covering any exposed glue from the first loop.

3. Repeat with All Ribbons:

- Continue adding ribbon loops in this manner until you have used all four ribbons.

- As you add each new loop, make sure to glue it securely in place.

4. Wrap with Wire:

- With the ribbon loops arranged the way you like, wrap a floral wire around the loops at the center to secure them.

- Twist the wire tightly several times to ensure it holds all the ribbons together.

5. Trim Tails:

- Trim the four ribbon tails to even out the length, making sure to cut an angle from the sides of the ribbons instead of straight to achieve a V-shaped cut.

6. Add Embellishments:

- You can add further embellishments to the bow, such as a large flower or a smaller bow for more dimension.

7. Attach to Wreath:

- Once the bow is finished, attach it to your wreath.

Your wreath bow with multiple ribbons is ready to enhance the beauty and uniqueness of your wreath.
