What’s a Ribbon Wreath?
A ribbon wreath is simply made by tying strips of ribbon onto a wreath frame. It’s one of the fastest and easiest ways to create a festive wreath. You can customize it any way you like, using different colors and decorations to match any holiday or season.
You’ll Need:
- Wreath frame
- Red, white, and blue acrylic paint and a paintbrush
- 1.5” wide red, white, and blue ribbon
- Scissors
- Wooden star cutouts
- Hot glue gun
- Twine or wire for the hanging loop
Step 1: Paint Your Wreath
Divide your wreath into three sections and paint them red, white, and blue. This way, any gaps between the ribbons won’t show.
Step 2: First Round of Ribbons
Cut your red ribbons into 14” long strips and tie them around the frame. Keep going until the red section is completely covered.
Step 3: Fill in the Gaps
Cut more red ribbons and fill in the spaces between the ones you’ve already tied. This makes the wreath look fuller.
Step 4: Blue and White Ribbons
Do the same with the blue and white ribbons as you did with the red. It might be a good idea to use ribbons that don’t fray, like velvet, or use some Fray Check on the edges if they start to fray.
Step 5: Add Stars
Paint your wooden star cutouts white and hot glue them onto the red and blue sections of your wreath.
Step 6: Make a Hanging Loop
Thread some twine or wire through the back of your wreath and tie a loop so you can hang it up.
And there you have it! Your very own Fourth of July wreath, ready to be proudly displayed.
