An Elegant Ribbon Wreath…
How to Make a Beautiful Ribbon Wreath in Just a Few Simple Steps We are excited to share with you a fun and easy DIY project: a ribbon wreath. It’s the perfect way to add a touch of personal style to your home decor, and the best part is that you can really customize it to suit any season or color scheme. We recently made our elegant ribbon wreath using navy and soft white ribbons in various widths and textures, and it turned out beautifully! Here’s a step-by-step guide so you can create your own. What You’ll Need: 8 to 10 coordinating ribbons (variety of widths and textures) Faux boxwood or green magnolia wreath base Floral wire Scissors Step-by-Step Instructions: Choose Your Ribbon: Pick 8 to 10 ribbons in colors and textures that complement each other. For our wreath, we used navy and soft white ribbons in different widths, which gave the wreath a nice layered look. Make Your Primary Bow: Select the ribbon you want to highlight and make that your primary ribbon. Cut a long piece and create a large simple bow with two loops and long tails. This bow will be the focal point of your wreath. Once you’re happy with the size of your bow and the tails, secure it with a long piece of floral wire (about 20 inches). Measure and Cut Your Ribbon Tails: Use the length of the tails from your primary bow as a guide. Lay out your other ribbons and cut each one to match the length of the primary ribbon tails. Make sure to cut all the ribbon tails at an angle in the same direction for a neat, polished look. Gather the ribbons: gather the ribbons and primary ribbon, placing the primary on top. Secure all the ribbons together with the floral wire. We cut an extra long piece of wire to make sure there was enough to attach the ribbon to the wreath base. Attach the Bow and ribbons to the Wreath: Using floral wire from the ribbon bunch, attach the bow to the wreath base. Be sure to position it in the spot where you want the most attention to be drawn. Fluff and Adjust: Once all your ribbons are in place, fluff the loops of your bow and adjust the tails until you’re happy with the overall look. Be sure to overlap and criss-cross the ribbons to create texture and depth. You want the wreath to feel full and inviting. Final Touches: Step back and look at your wreath. Make any final adjustments to the ribbons to ensure they are evenly distributed and flowing naturally. And there you have it—an elegant ribbon wreath that can be modified to fit the season and perfect for any door in your home.
