How do I make a ribbon wreath?

Answer this question

Answered

I have seen some beautiful, very full, wreaths made from different widths of ribbon. Some of the ribbons are tied in bows, some are a simple knot and others appear to be looped throughout the wreath (similar to the ruffled look). I have searched for a tutorial with no luck. I can't tell what kind of base is used or how the ribbons are distributed on the base. I'm up for any and all suggestions/ideas. Thanks!

There are many variations on the same theme. Here are quite a few for you to choose from:

Also check out Hometalk tv and You Tube as many provide a good visual on how to measure, attach to various forms, etc.

Normally I use wire forms. I use chenille ties to hold in. place. My best advice is to buy more ribbon than you think you will need or make sure there is plenty in stock. I always need an extra roll more than I estimate.

I buy my wire forms at Dollar Tree, two sizes available.
I also buy my ribbon there.
I use a hot melt glue gun; after I pin the pieces how I want them.
With a total of $3 invested, if you don’t like it, change it.

  I agree it looks overwhelming in written instructions. The videos are helpful making the process less more relatable. I hope you find the perfect wreath diy to fit your needs. There is nothing that can beat a charming inviting door wreath imho..... best wishes!
