I call this a "Halloween Ribbon Wreath" but that's just because I made it for Halloween. Using different ribbons would make it a fit for any holiday or decor! Which is why I love it so. And "easy" doesn't even BEGIN to describe the level of difficulty here. Can you cut ribbon? Can you tie a knot? This wreath is for you!
Supplies Needed:
- A variety of ribbon from your ribbon stash or purchased at 50% off at Hobby Lobby (I swear it's 50% off every other week). Different widths, patterns, textures are the best. The more variety the better!
- A straw wreath
STEP ONE: Wrap your straw wreath one of your selected ribbons. I chose solid black. This keeps the straw from ruining all your fun with the inevitable "peek through."
STEP TWO: Cut pieces of ribbon and tie around wreath using your basic square knot! I started with my wide ribbons first and then went back and filled in with the thinner ones.
STEP THREE: Optional but I think it made a big difference... cut the ends of all your ribbons in a V. This definitely gave it a more finished and festive look.
STEP FOUR: Fluff and froof until you get it how you want it and hang it up!
Can't you see this as a fun birthday wreath (not to upstage THIS ONE though!) or Christmas or Easter or, or, or.... you see where I'm going with this. But I will say I am loving it in the orange and black! Halloween decor makes me happy.

Love this! Too cute!
I love this! Where did you find that cute ribbon? I know if I don't get exactly what you did, I can actually screw it up!
Pretty! All your "fancy" black and white ribbons make it look sophisticated!
Why not do it for your favorite team colors when you have 'tailgating' at your house?
I can't wait to try this myself. I will wait until I have my daughter's room complete and make one to match her room's decor. I could also see myself doing a cheetah/hot pink one. FUN!
Holy moses - I LOVE THIS!!!!I am going to make one almost immediately - well as soon as I can get to the craft store and get a wreath:):) I also envision making one using all the bits and pieces of ribbon that I love (and I have a TON of that) to have a pretty scrappy looking one also.
This is cute! I bought a pack of Halloween ribbon at Mashall's and didn't know what to do with it. Now I know!
I love this! Great ribbon choices.
Love! Pinning!

I have brenn looking for a ribbon wreath. I'm going to make one for Christmas. Made one out of halloween socks for halloween but I think a ribbon one will be better thanks for the idea.
