Yield: 1 wreath
Equipment
- 1 staple gun optional
- 2 Zip-tie mounts optional
- 1 easy bow maker optional
- 1 stem cutter
- 1 glue gun
Materials
- 1 10-inch pancake wreath frame
- 1 10-inch wide striped deco mesh
- 3 2.5-inch ribbons
- 2 1.5-inch ribbons
- 1 Lucky shamrock sign
- 1 clover greenery bunch
- pipe cleaners
Instructions
- Cut mesh into six, 26-inch strips. Cut two ribbon designs into 6 ribbon tails each at 16-inches long. Create sick ribbon stacks, each with two different ribbon designs. Snip six stems of clover greenery and attach zip tie mounts with glue or staple pipe cleaners to sign.
- Using only the outside notches of the frame, stick a pipe cleaner through each corresponding hole, then around the notch. Twist the pipe cleaner close to the hole to secure. You'll use six holes/notches along the outer ring of the frame.
- Make the 2.0 ruffle by scrunching about tree inches from the side of the mesh. Pinch the center of the scrunch and lay the pinched part in the middle of the pipe cleaners, twisting twice to secure. The smaller part of the cluster should be in the center of the wreath, while the bigger part of the cluster fans out.
- Bend each ribbon duo to make a V shape, then lay the center of the V atop the center of each cluster with the tails pointing out. Twist once to secure.
- Dab glue on the pipe cleaners, then lay one stem of clover atop the center of each ribbon V. Make sure the clover points out. Twist the pipe cleaner to secure the clover, then wrap any excess pipe cleaner around the clover stem.
- Make a half bow using a 2.5-inch ribbon and two 1.5-inch ribbons. Start with the 2.5-inch ribbon, making an 8-inch tail and 5 inch loop. pinch, twist and loop to make two more loops. With a 1.5-inch ribbon, make an 8-inch tail and three, 4.5-inch loops. Stack that on top of the 2.5-inch ribbon. Finally, with the other 1.5-inch ribbon, make an 8-inch tail, a 2-inch center loop and three more loops about 4 inches in size. Stack on top of the 1.5 inch and 2.5-inch ribbon pile.
- Pinch the ribbon pile in the center, then wrap a pipe cleaner around the stack to secure. Separate the ribbons, pull the center loop over the pipe cleaner and make sure all the tails of the bow point down, away from the wreath.
- Stick the pipe cleaners on the back of the sign through the mesh. Then flip the wreath over, wrap the pipe cleaner around the frame and twist to secure. Do the same thing with your bow.
