After collecting an assortment of ribbons in red, green and white, I'd been looking forward to making a ribbon wreath for months. We had a trip to Hobbycrafts on Sunday so I managed to pick up a styrofoam ring which was the only part I needed to get started. Excuse the quality of the pictures, these were taken in the evening so they didn't come out very well!
I tied a long piece of gingham ribbon into a loop and looped it around the top of the ring so that the wreath can be hung up.
The next part was to cut 9 reels of ribbon into small lengths of about 3inches.
Each piece of ribbon is then made into a circle and a pin is fastened through the ends to hold it together. You can then pin the ribbon loops randomly over the ring. It takes a while and it does get to a point when you think it's not really going to work, but it will!
Just keep going and pinning loops over the ring, making sure that it is all covered.
(not quite there yet!!)
And here's the finished article:
