Approximate Length of Time to Complete: less than 5 minutes
Approximate Cost: 30 cents
Instructions:
Glue one end of ribbon to wreath; wrap ribbon around and through wreath,
spacing ribbon evenly about 1” apart. Glue the ribbon to the piece you
first glued and clip off excess ribbon (about 11”— this will be used for the bow.
This is a good method to use for wrapping ribbon on a wreath because you can
always make a smaller bow if you need more ribbon for the wreath.
Or you can cut a new piece of ribbon for the bow.)
Glue the two holly leaves onto wreath, with their "stem" ends touching.
Make a bow with streamers out of the remaining 11” piece of ribbon
and glue between holly leaves.
Remove hangers from glass balls, and glue them at the middle of the bow.
Tie a piece of thread (or fine gold cord) at the top of wreath for a hanger.
Hints/Tips:
This is Carol’s favorite way to make a bow since she can’t tie a knot worth
a darn: Take a piece of ribbon and crease it in the middle. Put a dab of
glue at the crease. Fold one piece over to the middle, creating a loop
and a streamer. Repeat with the other side of ribbon.
These are also great to hang in windows as decorations and they make nice
package tie-ons, too. Add a piece of magnet (comes in strips at craft stores
so you can cut various lengths) and make a “Fridgie”!
