Use the green mesh to make 10” poufs, adding them to all of the pipe cleaners along the top and bottom rows of your frame.
Let's cut some mesh strips. Take the burlap and pink striped mesh and cut 10 strips at 30” long. Then cut (8) 20" strips of these same two colors.
Make ruffles from the 30” strips. Take each strip, curl both ends over and scrunch it into the middle. Add one ruffle into each pipe cleaner all the way around the outside of the wreath, alternating colors as you go.Repeat the same process on the inside of the wreath with the 20″ mesh strips.
Prepare your sign. Glue a mounting square (or two) onto the back of your sign with super glue. Insert an extra long pipe cleaner into each mounting square.After the glue dries, use the pipe cleaners to attach the sign to the center of the wreath, near the top.
Let’s make a bow.Grab the EZ Bow Maker and the 4″ wired ribbon and make (2) 14″ tails with (2) 8-inch loops. Arrange the loops and tails into an “x” shape.Note: Each layer will “criss-cross” or offset the previous layer.Now use the first 2.5″ ribbon to make 14″ tails with (2) 7.5-inch loops. Next, grab the first 1.5″ ribbon and make the same size tails with (2) 7-inch loops. Take the second 1.5″ ribbon and make 14″ tails with (2) 6.5-inch loops.For this layer, grab the third 1.5″ ribbon and make the same size tails with (2) 6-inch loops. Next, use the fourth 1.5″ ribbon to make 14″ tails with (2) 5.5-inch loops. Now, grab the second 2.5″ ribbon and make 14″ tails with (2) 5-inch loops. For this layer, use the fifth 1.5″ ribbon and make the same length tails with (2) 4.5-inch loops.Now, take the sixth 1.5″ ribbon and make 14″ tails with (2) 4-inch loops. Finally, make a 4” center loop with the ⅞” ribbon and two 14” tails. Take a long pipe cleaner and wrap it around the center of the bow as you carefully pull it off the EZ Bow Maker. Twist the bow tightly to secure it.
Use the same pipe cleaner to attach the bow to the wreath just below the sign. Fluff the loops and dovetail the ribbon tails.
Now let's make some ribbon tails.Take (2) 2.5” ribbons and (2) 1.5” ribbons and cut 9 tails from each color.Dovetail the ends.
Make ribbon tail pairs by putting one 1.5” ribbon tail on top of one 2.5” ribbon tail.Take a pair, fold it over, pinch it, then fold it. Attach one pair to each of the pipe cleaners on the wreath.Follow the same process all around the wreath, alternating color pairs.
