Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Get Your Ribbon
The first step in making a door wreath bow is to get your ribbon. You can choose any type of ribbon you like – satin, grosgrain, burlap, or even a combination of ribbons. The width of the ribbon is up to you, but a width of about 2-3 inches works well.
Step 2: Make the First Loop
Hold the ribbon end in your left hand and make a 6-inch loop with your right hand. Use your right thumb to hold the loop in place while bringing the ribbon over to the left. Make sure the tail is to the back of the bow.
Step 3: Make the Second Loop
Make another loop with the ribbon, this time a bit smaller than the first loop. Use your right thumb to hold the loop in place while bringing the ribbon over to the left. The tail should be to the front of the bow.
Step 4: Make the Third Loop
Make another loop with the ribbon, this time the same size as the first loop. Use your right thumb to hold the loop in place while bringing the ribbon over to the left. The tail should be to the back of the bow.
Step 5: Make the Fourth Loop
Make another loop with the ribbon, this time the same size as the second loop. Use your right thumb to hold the loop in place while bringing the ribbon over to the left. The tail should be to the front of the bow.
Step 6: Make the Center Loop
Make a loop in the center of the bow by pinching the ribbon in the middle. Keep your thumb in the center of the bow to hold it in place.
Step 7: Wrap the Wire Around the Center
Take a piece of wire (about 6 inches long) and wrap it around the center of the bow, twisting it 2-3 times to secure it in place. Cut the excess wire with scissors.
Step 8: Fluff the Bow
Now it’s time to fluff the bow. Start with the loops, pulling them out and shaping them. Then fluff the tails.
Step 9: Attach It to the Wreath
To the bow to the wreath, use a piece of wire. Thread the wire through the loop you made earlier and twist the wire around the back of the wreath until it’s secure.
Conclusion
Making a door wreath bow is easy, and with a little practice, you can create beautiful bows for all your wreaths. Experiment with different colors and widths of ribbon to create unique and personalized bows. And remember, a beautiful bow can really make a wreath stand out and add a welcoming touch to your home.
