How to make a super easy classic patriotic wreath

Today, we’re crafting a classic patriotic wreath to celebrate Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Join Nick from Nick’s Seasonal Décor for easy step-by-step instructions using ribbons, the Bowdabra Bow-maker, and roses. Let’s get started!

Materials required:

100-yard Bowdabra bow wire
Large Bowdabra
Blue-Red-White Plaid Ribbon Roll
18” Grapevine Wreath
A bunch of blue/red/white Rose Picks
Hot Glue

Process:

First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire.  Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra.  You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side.  This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.

Next, using the patriotic plaid ribbon cut a length and lay it in the Bowdabra for the tails.

Now, place the end of the plaid ribbon in the Bowdabra leaving about an inch overhang.  Then, begin twisting, and folding across to make loops back and forth until you have reached as many loops as you desire.

Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand.  Then, insert the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Then, remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot.  Tie a double knot for extra security. The Bowdabra wire makes it so easy. Fluff out the bow loops.

Use the excess bow wire to tie the bow to the grapevine wreath. Use some hot glue to add red, white, and blue roses all around.

In just minutes you have a beautiful and classic patriotic wreath!
