Pasture and Prairie Inspired Wreath Tutorial

Amanda from Whimsey Wreath Design Co, LLC, and the Bowdabra Design Team will show you how to create a Pasture and Prairie-inspired wreath that brings warm, rustic charm to your décor. With natural textures and beautiful ribbon, this wreath is perfect for spring and beyond. Let’s get started and unleash your creativity with Amanda’s expert techniques!

Supplies:

• Seeded bush (from Hobby Lobby)
• 3.5 yards – 2.5″ wide non-wired or thin ribbon of choice
• Floral foam or pool noodle
• Skewer or floral pick
• Hot glue
• Zip ties, chenille stems, or Bowdabra
Bow Wire
• Beaded hoop (from Dollar Tree)
• Large Bowdabra

Instructions:

First, zip tie some floral foam onto a beaded hoop from the Dollar store.

Next, cut some Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and place it in the Bowdabra. This will be a slip knot when you are ready to tie up the bow.

Now, make a twist and fold bow. Place some ribbon into the Bowdabra, leaving a tail, then bring one side across, making a loop.  Twist and turn the opposite side across, making a matching loop. Then, continue to make two more loops, making these loops a little bit smaller than the preceding loops. You will end with a matching tail.

Now 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.

Use a zip tie to attach a skewer to the back of the bow. Trim the skewer to a shorter length. You can alternatively use the excess bow wire to tie the bow to the ring and secure it with some glue.

Use some hot glue to attach some of the seeded bushes all around the hoop into the floral foam.

You have a simple but elegant Pasture and prairie wreath!
