How to Make a Ribbon Wreath

Wreaths are everywhere during the fall and winter holidays, but you don't see many in the warm weather or for everyday. A ribbon wreath solves this problem because you can customize it to become whatever you want. You can create one for any holiday or make personal ones for bedroom doors. A little bit of time and a lot of ribbon can make a beautiful addition to your home.

Things You'll Need

• 10-inch Styrofoam wreath
• 45 yards of ribbon
• Straight pins
• Ruler
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Cut the ribbon into 4 ½-inch long pieces. A wreath this size will average about 360 pieces, depending on the fullness that you want to achieve.

2. 

   Form a loopy circle with each piece of ribbon. Your ends should overlap. Place a straight pin through the ribbon, from the inside out, to hold ends together. Continue doing this with all of your ribbon pieces.

3. Attach your ribbons to the wreath by pushing the pins into the Styrofoam. Push them in all the way. Make sure to place your loops close together so that no Styrofoam shows through. Continue until your wreath is full.

4. Embellish your wreath, if you so choose. Add a large bow, leftover buttons, beads or anything else that you think would look good.

5. Attach another ribbon loop, using the pin and some strong glue, to the back of your wreath. Use this loop to hang it.

Tips & Warnings

• Use different colors, textures or patterns of ribbon on your wreath. Use it as a centerpiece for entertaining by laying it on a table.
