Designing Silk Flower Wreath Ribbons

Video Transcript

"Ok, now that you've made your bow for on your wreath, with the wire that you have made the bow with, take it and wrap it around the entire wreath and knot it, so that it's attached and that it's good and solid. Then, if you want to take, you have your tails, you can keep longer tails on your wreath, you can take the extra ribbon if you would like to, if you want more tails on it, just take and tie them right around the wreath itself. Ok, and then you could also take and wrap it up around if you want to carry it throughout. Couple of ways of finishing a wreath, one is the ends you fold it in half and if you cut it once, you've got a nice V point. The other way of doing it is if you just want to keep and cut it at an angle. Other things you could do is take and tie a knot in it, add some interest to it, then curve around your finger, if you'd like it to be nice and spirally, spirally looking. You can just work it yourself through your hands and it'll, you're able to create that shape that you want in your wreath, in your ribbon because of the wire on the outer edges. So, there's other ways of doing it, other than just attaching it and slopping a bow up onto the wreath. Seriously think about it. This will give you a lot of movement in your wreath and interest as you go past it. So, the next part is attaching your bow and really thinking about it as a piece of busy, important element of your wreath."
