Christmas Wreaths Tips
Last week the Boy Scouts delivered my wreaths right to my front porch.
As I have mentioned previously, I love the Boy Scouts and their wreaths…but their bows…Not So Much…
(If I were a Girl Scout, I would set up shop right next to the Boy Scouts and sell bows…of course, my motives wouldn’t be purely business…) but I digress….
So, I went to my ribbon stash…
And picked a ribbon that was bright and sparkly enough to be seen from a distance…and using the same method as I did for my fall wreath (see tutorial here),
I made this bow…
and attached it with wire to the wreath…
Before I shaped the bow…I flipped the wreath over…I don’t want the nasty wires on the back scratching my wood door…
So I cut up the Boy Scout bow and hot glued it to the back of the wreath…
Finally, with a little twisting and shaping, I was ready to hang my wreath…
Come on in…We’re baking cookies…
ahhh!!! BRILLIANT use of the old bow to protect the door. Thanks for sharing that great idea.
Thanks, Lynette…I loove being described as brilliant—I think that’s a first for me!
Great idea on keeping the wires from scratching the door. Finding a wreath is on my to-do list also!
I always wanted to know how to make bows!
We just received our boy scout wreath. I kept looking at it thinking “something is missing.” A better bow! Your post reminded me that last year, I inserted pretty ribbon throughout the wreath and it really jazzed it up a bit. Now, to the ribbon stash.
Great idea to insert a ribbon throughout!
