Today I am going to show you how to create a wreath that is so easy and one that Bonnie and I have been making for a few years now. This design has become a classic of ours and we thought it was time to share it with you!
Ribbon Wreath Tutorial
Supplies:
18 inch wire wreath form
48 yards of ribbon
coordinating tulle
Step one. The first thing you will do is to cut your ribbon into 24″ lengths. You will take a piece of ribbon, weave it between the two bottom spokes of the wreath form, make bunny ears, then tie like you would a bow.
Step Two. Now you will repeat step one with the ribbon weaving through the top two spokes, making the bunny ears, and tying a bow. Then start the process all over again going from top to bottom.
Step Three. Work your way around the entire wreath form. You will use eight lengths of ribbon for each section.
Step four. This is what your wreath will look like once you have the ribbon all around it. Now we need to add a little tulle and do a little froof-ing! To add the tulle you will simply tie about an 8 inch section of tulle around one of the wires and fluff it out. That is it!
These ribbon wreaths are just so easy and really make a statement! With all of the ribbon patterns and colors out there… the possibilities are endless! Have fun with it!
Take care!

Thank you for sharing.

I would have guessed that you had used a foam wreath and like that this is simply the wire wreath with ribbon. Looks beautiful!

I’m seeing so many great wreaths but this is the first one I’ve seen made with ribbon and I love it. Pinning for inspiration!
Jana@Transformations From the Heart says
Oh, shared it over on Facebook too. Can you tell that I’m loving this wreath. I think I could even make one. I purchased a wire wreath form just like the one you used last week at Hobby Lobby. Now just need to get some ribbon.

Did this really take 48 yards of ribbon?? I can’t find a store that carries that much of the same kind (or even half that much).
Courtney says
How much ribbon would you use for a smaller wreath?
Christy @mysouthernexpression says
Saw this on Pinterest. Absolutely love the color choice and design.
Jacqueline says
I really love this wreath! I want to try to make it. I am not crafty whatsoever, so excuse me if this is a silly question but did you use wired ribbon? And how thick was your ribbon? Thanks for your help and easy instructions!!! 🙂
Donna Fryman says
On your ribbon wreath, maybe its just me, but I cannot see the tulle well at all. Is it just tied here and there, at different levels. Thank you so much Love the wreath.
Trish & Bonnie @ Uncommon Designs says
Donna,
Yes! I simply tied it here and there scattered in the wreath at different levels. Enjoy!
AImee says
What width ribbon works best? I’m attempting this wreath with some 2″ wide Costco ribbon (as it conveniently comes in 48-yd spools), and it’s not working… 🙁
