How to Make a Christmas Tree Topper Bow

### Materials:

* Wired ribbon in coordinating colors (two colors for a bow)

* Floral wire

* Wire cutters

* Scissors

* Hot glue gun and glue sticks (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Cut the Ribbon

Cut the ribbon into long strips. Cut varying strip sizes to create different layers of the bow. Aim for 2-3 layers.

Step 2: Create Loops

Take one strip and fold it in half to make a loop. Twist the ends of the loop together to secure. Repeat with all strips.

Step 3: Gather and Wire the Loops

Gather the looped strips together and wrap the floral wire around the center to secure the loops. Twist the wire tightly until it is secure. Trim excess floral wire, if needed.

Step 4: Create Tail Ends

Cut two smaller pieces of ribbon for the tail ends. Fold them in half and twist the ends together. Glue the ends together to secure.

Step 5: Add Tail Ends

Attach the tail ends to the base of the bow by wrapping the floral wire around them and twisting securely.

Step 6: Fluff the Bow

Gently fluff and spread out the bow loops to your desired shape.
