This year we have decided to put wreaths in our windows as our “day time” Christmas decorations. We needed about eight bows for the different wreaths we put up. If I might say so, I got pretty good with making bows. I just wanted to share how I made them.
SUPPLIES:
Ribbon – 2.5 in / 10 yards
Wire
Scissors
 |
| Fold your ribbon in 14” sections, looping it 5 times Cut, so it’s separated from the spool of ribbon The end you just cut is your back
|
 |
| Pinch in the center of the ribbon were you have two equal parts Secure with wire wrapping it in the center |
 |
| Start with the end side loop and pull out to the right, alternate sides |
 |
| keep going... |
 |
| To make the bow tails. Cut another piece of ribbon from the spool 42” long and fold in half. |
 |
| Put in the center of the bow you made and twist, secure with wire. |
Add your bow to your wreath with the left over wire tails
