'Twas the third day of Christmas when you learned how to make your own bow for your wreath.
I know this looks complicated but let me try to explain.
First, you want to make a small loop and with your thumb, hold it in place.
Then, make a big loop on either side of it, twisting in the middle (behind the first loop) if you have a one sided ribbon.
Next, make another loop on each side using the same technique.
Repeat as many times as you like to get it the size you want and to get your desired amount of loops.
Once you have it the size you want you will have a loop with a long strand of ribbon, take that ribbon and make a big loop hanging beneath it. Hold the end in place on the back of the bow.
Then, take a piece of bow wire, a pipe cleaner, a twist tie, anything that will hold it place and going through the first loop, tightly secure the bow in place.
Fluff up the loops to how you like it and cut the big loop thats on the bottom in half or to however long you want the excess strands.
And, thats it!
