Instructions for Christmas in July Wreath

1. Cut the ribbons to length. Quickly pass the ribbon ends through a flame to seal the ends and prevent fraying.
2. Next, fold the bow wire in half and put it in the Bowdabra. Tuck the ends of the wire under the Bowdabra to keep them out of the way.
3. Center the 15″ length of blue ribbon in the Bowdabra.
4. Make a fold-over bow with the 48″ length of blue ribbon.
5. Make another fold-over bow with the red and white patterned ribbon on top of the blue bow.
6. Next, add the red grosgrain and white satin ribbon spikes to the Bowdabra.
7. Compress the ribbons with the Bowdabra wand.
8. With the ribbons still in the Bowdabra, pass the wire ends through the loop and tighten.
9. Then, tie a secure knot on the reverse side. Leave the wire end uncut.
10. Fluff the bow and use the wire tails to attach it to the wreath.
11. Celebrate Christmas in July.
