Making a bow for a wreath is actually pretty simple. The key is to use florist wire. In this post, about the triple wreaths on our front door, I made a diagram that shows the step by step directions for making a bow. http://simpledecoratingtips.com/2015/12/07/create-a-merry-christmas-welcome-3/
I love to make wreaths. The best place for the stuff to put on it is the Dollar Store. When I go I get lots of flowers, leaves, extra little items that fit in the theme. The forms are sometimes hard to find. Usually have to go to a craft store, but you can check online to find best price locally or order them. I use a hot glue gun to attach pieces to the form. I find it hard to tie bows. Watched one lady accordian fold ribbon, tie in middle and them twist and pull to create fuller bow, then loop end of ribbon around the middle and tie off in back. Then just clip the ends the way you want them.
