Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a quick and easy Merry Christmas wreath. It’s Christmas in July and no better time to start on those Christmas projects before the busy fall and holidays. The lazy days of summer give you the time to get a head start on your holiday decor like this gorgeous and so simple Merry Christmas wreath.
Supplies:
Bowdabra Bow Making Tool
Bowdabra wire
Ribbon
Smoothfoam Wreath
Bells
To create the bow, I started by placing the bow wire in the Bowdabra, wrapping it underneath so it is out of my way while creating my bow. Leaving a 6″ tail, I placed the ribbon in the channel.
Folding the ribbon, I created the loops, twisting the ribbon as it passes through the channel.
Use the bow wand to push the ribbon in the channel while creating the bow. I created a 5 looped bow, with the last 2 loops smaller than the others.
Pull up on the bow wire and tie off.
Fan out the bow and cut the edges of the tails.
Wrap the wreath with a green checkered ribbon. Tie the ribbon to the wreath using the bow wire. Add bow wire to several bells and tie them to the wreath.
Tie an additional ribbon to the top of the wreath as a hanger, adding an additional bell to the hanger.
Thanks for stopping by.
