Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Glue gun

Materials

  • 14 inch metal wreath frame
  • 15 yards of 6-inch burlap ribbon
  • Floral wire or twist ties
  • Artificial flowers
  • Hot glue gun and glue

Instructions

  • Gather the end of the ribbon and wrap some wire around it.
  • Tie the wire to the wreath at one of the cross bars.
  • Begin pushing some of the ribbon up through the first opening at the bottom, between the wires on the frame, creating a loop or bubble a few inches above the frame.
  • Repeat through the middle and top openings.
  • Next, twist the ribbon and then push a loop through the top opening either to the left or right of the first set of loops. Then continue to push the ribbon through the middle opening and then the bottom inner opening.
  • Twist the ribbon again and repeat the same action for the next row, twisting the ribbon at the top or bottom, before starting the next row.
  • You can scrunch the loops together as you go along making the wreath as tight as you want to.
  • When you run out of ribbon, use some wire to tie it to the closest wire on the frame and continue with a new roll of ribbon.
  • Once you have completed the wreath with wire add some flowers to the front with hot glue and hang in your favorite spot.
