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.
