Instructions
Lay your 24” swag base flat on your workspace.
Curl both ends of 21” yellow mesh, fold in half, and attach to both ends of the swag, meeting in the middle.
Repeat with 21” purple mesh, alternating placement with the yellow.
Add 10.25” blue mesh cruffles to fill in gaps.
Use 2.5” flower and butterfly ribbon to create a bow with three 7-8” loops.
Add two loops of 1” blue ribbon and two loops of 1.5” yellow polka dot and orange ribbon.
Secure with a zip tie and attach to the center of the swag.
Create loops and tails with all three ribbon styles, securing with a zip tie.
Attach under the main bow, mirroring both sides.
Trim tails at an angle or dovetail.
Use filler floral picks, securing them with hot glue.
Place one in the center of the bow, one on each side, and one extending from the bottom.
Secure the swag using zip ties, floral wire, or Command Strips.
Fluff out ribbons, adjust florals, and make sure everything is balanced.
