Yield: 1 wreath

Materials

  • 1 14-inch Pancake Wreath Frame
  • 1 roll 10-inch wide deco mesh
  • 1 roll 4-inch ribbon
  • 3 rolls 2.5-inch ribbon
  • 2 rolls 1.5-inch ribbon
  • 1 Easter sign
  • pipe cleaners
  • zip ties

Instructions

  • Prepare materials by adding zip tie mounts to back of sign, cutting two, 2.5-inch ribbons for tails (12 pieces at 14-inches long each) and cutting deco mesh (12 pieces at 20-inches long). Stack your ribbon tails in twos - one of each design.
  • Add pipe cleaners to frame by putting them through each hole, wrapping them around each corresponding notch, and twisting to secure. You'll have 6 pipe cleaners around the outer edge of the frame and 6 around the inner edge.
  • Ruffle your deco mesh up the middle, pinching the center, laying it in the arms of each pipe cleaner, and twisting to secure. Only add mesh ruffles to outer edge of frame.
  • Add ribbon tails to the mesh ruffles by pinching the stack in the center, laying the ribbon atop the ruffle (ribbon tails facing out), and twisting the pipe cleaner to secure.
  • Repeat to add ruffles and ribbon tails to inner edge of frame.
  • Make your bow using your 4-inch ribbon, 2.5-inch ribbon and two, 1.5-inch ribbons. Starting with the 4-inch ribbon, make a 7-inch tail, then two, 6-inch loops by pinching, twisting and looping. Using the 2.5-inch ribbon, do the same - make a tail and two loops (a tad smaller than the first ribbon). Stack the 2.5-inch ribbon atop the 4-inch. Repeat with the last two, 1.5-inch ribbons. The final ribbon will have an additional loop - the center loop of the bow.
    Pinch the center of your ribbon stack, and wrap a pipe cleaner around the center, twisting several times to secure all layers of ribbon. Pull the center loop over the pipe cleaner, then pull and spread all loops.
  • Add pipe cleaners to the zip tie mounts in the back of the sign. Stick the pipe cleaners through the mesh, wrapping them around the frame and twisting behind the frame to secure.
    Secure your bow to the frame by pushing the arms of the pipe cleaner through the mesh and wrap them around the frame, twisting to secure.
  • Fluff your bow and spot check your sign, tails and deco mesh.
