Materials
- 14-inch Wreath frame
- 10-inch Wide border stripe deco mesh
- Three 2.5-inch Ribbons
- Two 1.5-inch Ribbons

Instructions
- Prepare your materials by cutting the mesh into twelve, 20-inch strips. Cut two 2.5-inch ribbon designs into twelve 14-inch long tails. Attach pipe cleaners to sign with staple gun or zip tie mounts.
- Attach pipe cleaners to inner and outer edges of frame by sticking pipe cleaner through hole and wrapping it around the corresponding notch.
- Scrunch the mesh piece up the middle, pinch the center and lay in the center of the pipe cleaner arms. Twist twice to secure. Do this with the pipe cleaners around the outer part of the frame only.
- Scrunch up each ribbon duo stack in the middle and lay one stack atop each ruffle, twist the pipe cleaner to secure.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 to the pipe cleaners on the inner part of the wreath. This inner layer should rest over the outer layer.
- Make your bow by using your final 2.5-inch ribbon and your two, 1.5-inch ribbons. Starting with your 2.5-inch ribbon, make a 6-inch tail and three 6-inch loops. Make the next two layers the same way, with the loops being one finger width smaller. The third and final layer will have one extra loop as the center.
- Attach your bow and sign by sticking the arms of the pipe cleaners through the mesh and wrapping them around the frame and twisting.
