Gather supplies

Before assembling the wreath I like to plan the placement of the elements. I started by planning where I would place the wood slices.

Start arranging wood slices on the form.

Once I had the first row of wood slices placed where I like them I added the second row.

How to Make a Bow.

I am going to admit I adore making bows. In fact, I have never met a bow I didn’t like. This easy bow making technique is perfect when making a bow with a one-sided ribbon. Making loops to make a wreath bow.

Start by making a circle with the ribbon (right side out) the size of the finished bow. Then continue to make three circles (loops) of ribbon. If you would like streamers or tails cut a piece of ribbon long enough to fold in half for your streamers.

Cut Bow streamersFor the center of the bow tie a knot in another piece of ribbon about 8″ long or longer. To form the bow gather the center of the circles of ribbon and use a zip tie to hold it together.

Pinch the center together

Add the center of the bow

Add the Streamer tailsNext, using the knotted piece of ribbon place the knot in the center front of your bow while holding the tail on the wrong side of the bow then flip the bow over. Tie the knotted ribbon around the bow loops and tail.
