How to make a ribbon wreath – materials

I love a Christmas craft that only has a few easy materials. For this ribbon wreath all you need is:

• A wooden wreath frame
• red ribbon
• Green ribbon
• silver ribbon

Step 1

First, cut your ribbon to 11 cm long. For the wreath we made, we need 40 strips of red ribbon, 40 strips of green ribbon and 40 strips of silver ribbon.

Step 2

Take a piece of ribbon and tie it to your wooden wreath. After tying, straighten the lengths so they come out around the wreath.

Continue adding red ribbons until you have filled the wreath, which in my case was about 40 ribbons.

Step 3

Repeat this process with the green ribbon. Add the green ribbons so that the red and green colors alternate evenly.

Continue until you have filled the wreath. Your ribbon wreath should now look full!

Step 4

Now it’s time to add your silver ribbon. My silver ribbon was thicker than I wanted, so I cut each length into slightly narrower pieces.

Start adding the silver ribbon, tied exactly the same way as before.

Continue until you have tied silver ribbons at regular intervals around the wreath.

Step 5

Now it’s time to add a hanger. Take a piece of ribbon and fold it in half. Loop it around your wreath and pull the ends through the loop to secure in place.

Step 6

Next add a bow to the front of the hanger. I also added a silver card button.

Now your Christmas ribbon wreath is done. Hang it on your door, wall or anywhere you want to add a little extra Christmas cheer.
