How to Make a Wreath

Gather Supplies

• Wreath Blank
• Mesh Ribbon, 4 to 5 inches wide
• Contrasting ribbon, 1 inch wide
• Large Bow
• Large embellishment (or coordinating collection of smaller embellishments)
• Colored Balls in different sizes — limit to two colors, but can use several different finishes
• Small zip ties, green or black
• Scissors

Do a Rough Layout

• Plan where bow should be placed
• Determine where largest embellishment should go
• Plan where next largest embellishments should go — should be an odd number  and somewhat evenly spaced
• Plan how largest ribbon will lead the eye around the wreath — zig zag, straight, loops

Fasten elements securely 

• Begin with the largest elements and fasten securely
• When you have fastened the elements planned in the rough layout, add smaller elements
• Smaller elements are added somewhat randomly, but the overall flow of the colors should still be pleasing to the eye.
• Tweak elements so they lay securely within or tightly on the wreath, the wreath outline is somewhat smooth and the visual result is pleasing to you.
