Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Door Hanger Base
- Start by finding the halfway point at the top of your door hanger base. Mark it with two dots.
- Attach your hanging rope by stapling it securely at the marked points. Ensure the rope is tight and secure.
Step 2: Make the Bow Using the EZ Bow Maker
- Measure out about 10 inches of ribbon and give it a twist. Then, measure out 6-inch loops to create the base layer of your bow.
- Continue adding layers of ribbon in an “X” pattern using your bow maker. The wide ribbons should go on the bottom, with narrower ribbons layered on top.
- When using patterned ribbon (like the ghost ribbon), ensure the designs are facing the right direction by giving the ribbon a twist as needed.
Step 3: Add Floral Elements
- To create a fuller look without using too much product, add a floral stem directly into your bow.
- Position the longer, wispy flowers towards the bottom of the bow to create a natural flow.
Step 4: Finalize the Bow
- Add another layer of light pink ribbon for contrast.
- Use a narrower ribbon (such as a 5/8-inch or 7/8-inch width) to hide the mechanics in the center of your bow.
- Secure the bow with a pipe cleaner by sliding it out of the bow maker and giving it a tight twist.
- Fluff out the loops and tails of the bow to your liking, making sure the floral elements are visible.
Step 5: Attach the Bow to the Door Hanger
- Position the bow at the top of your door hanger, allowing the tails to cascade down.
- Using a stapler, carefully staple the bow onto the door hanger. Staple through the bottom layer of ribbon for extra security.
- Trim the ribbon tails to your desired length, ensuring they are even and neatly finished.
Step 6: Final Adjustments
- Make any final adjustments to your bow, repositioning the floral elements and fluffing the loops as needed.
- Check that the bow and floral elements are securely attached and that the door hanger is balanced when hung.
