A Sunshine Yellow Ribbon

Hello Friends~ ~ ~

I have been collecting white flowers for some time now

and finally had enough to make a front door wreath.

First I went to the garage to get this.

The plan was to make the mess on the picnic table

and keep it outside.

Then I got all this out.

I started with the beige flowers but decided

I wanted white. . .all white.

I have a really dark front door.

White shows up great.

I hot glued moss to a 25 cent wreath I got

at a yardsale.

Then I just put glue on the ends of the stems

and stick them into the wreath.

All of these flowers were purchased at the Dollar Store.

So was the ivy and the moss.

The ribbon was $1 for 3 yards at AC Moore.

The whole wreath might have cost me $10!

I make my bows a little differently.

Sorry no pictures, its kind of hard to take pictures and

make the bow at the same time.

I cut about 12-14" of ribbon and double it up.

About 2" from the folded end twist a 12" wire

around the doubled ribbon and puff it up.

This is your center.

Let the tails fall down and trim them at an angle

when you wire the bow to the wreath.

Then I fold the rest of the 3 yards back and forth

to make the rest of the bow.

Take your center with the wire and wire this into

the center of the bow and twist the back.

Now you have a bow with a wire to wire to your wreath.

Hope you enjoyed this little tutorial.
