How To Make A Simple Loop Bow For Wreaths
- Using a long piece of wired ribbon ( minimum of 36 inches)
- Create a loop at one end and fold one side over itself.
- Using your thumb hold the inside of the loop, this is the center of your bow.
- Create another larger loop with the same piece of ribbon.
- Fold this piece in underneath the center of the loop.
- Repeat on the opposite of the bow.
- Repeat the above steps, alternating sides and making each loop bigger.
- Once desired bow size is achieved make one final loop-this final loop will be the tail of the bow.
- Trim the ribbon close to the center of the bow.
- Tuck this edge under the bow. Insert a pipe cleaner or florist wire under the center loop.
- Gather all the loops of the bow and twist wire to secure.
- Trim edges.
- Cut the final long loop, these are the tails of the bow.
- Trim tails of bow at a diagonal to create two points to each tail.
- Fluff the loops to give your bow shape and fullness.
