Easter Bow Wreath

Easter Bow Wreath

Name of Project

Easter Bow Wreath

Ages This Project is Suitable For

Teens, Adults

Approximate Time Required to Complete This Project

A few hours to half a day

Materials Needed

Craft Wire (shape a circle to a 12-inches or more)

Hot glue gun

Pastel paper (printer paper)

Ribbon (any width)

Instructions

1. With the pastel paper, cut 8-inches strips on each piece of paper. Then fold each strip to a 4-inch strip.

2. You will have several 4-inches strips of different colors when you will be finished. Hot glue the end of the strips. You will be doing several bows to do the wreath.

3. With the wire, form a 12-inch (or larger) circle. Take each bow and starting at the top of the circle, hot glue each bow to the wire form. Make sure you are wearing protective gloves using hot glue. At the back of each bow, I put a strip of paper so that the hot glue is not detected at the back.

4. I used iridescent pink curly ribbon and wrapped around the wreath at different points and then made a bow at the top. You can use any type of ribbon you have to make the bow.

Tips and Tricks

  • Whenever you use a hot glue gun... I highly suggest protective gloves should be worn.
