How to Make a Wreath Bow

Learn how to make a wreath bow with these 5 easy steps. Making a nice bow for your wreath will add new life to an old wreath, or help make a new wreath match your home decor.

You can also make a wreath bow with holiday ribbon, and change your wreath with each changing holiday.

When choosing your ribbon for your bows, use wire edged ribbon. Because the ribbon has thin wire running the length of the edge, it makes it easy to make a beautiful wreath bow.

Things You'll Need

• Wire edged ribbon
• Floral wire

Instructions

1. 

   Cut your ribbon to the desired length. Get a 8" piece of floral wire cut, and put to the side.

   Lay your wired ribbon flat and start folding in thirds. On the left, leave enough length of ribbon, to make the desired length for a tail.

2. 

   Make two even loops and one loop smaller. Make the edge of the ribbon on the right, match up with the open end on the left. These are the tail of your bow.

3. 

   Pick up the ribbon folds and pinch in the middle.

4. 

   Tighten the wire around the middle and twist in the back of the bow.

5. 

   Pull the small loop to the center. Pull to make the loop rounded and centered.

6. 

   Pull the two tail ends to the left side. Adjust so each is flat, make the center loop cover both in the center.

7. 

   Lastly, open up the 4 edge loops. Move to make an open and puffy bow.
