Take your first 2.5" Ribbon (this will be the base of your bow), dove tail it and measure out a 7" tail. Then Pinch at the 7" mark, measure out 14", pinch it and twist it and bring the loop back around. This is your first of three loops for each layer. Follow the same steps and measurements three times. Tie off with your pipe cleaner.
Take your second 2.5" Ribbon, dove tail it and measure out a 7" tail. Then Pinch at the 7" mark, measure out 13", pinch it and twist it and bring the loop back around. This is your first of three loops for this layer. Follow the same steps and measurements three times. Now place this ribbon onto your first ribbon, making sure the 2 loops are opposite and tie into the bundle.
Take your third 2.5" Ribbon, dove tail it and measure out a 6.5" tail. Then Pinch at the 6.5" mark, measure out 12", pinch it and twist it and bring the loop back around. This is your first of three loops for this layer. Follow the same steps and measurements three times. Now place this ribbon onto your ribbon stack, making sure the 2 loops are opposite and tie into the bundle.
Take your first 1.5" Ribbon, dove tail it and measure out a 6" tail. Then Pinch at the 6" mark, measure out 11", pinch it and twist it and bring the loop back around. This is your first of three loops for this layer. Follow the same steps and measurements three times. Now place this ribbon onto your ribbon stack, making sure the 2 loops are opposite and tie into the bundle.
Take your second 1.5" Ribbon, dove tail it and measure out a 6" tail. Then Pinch at the 6" mark, measure out 10", pinch it and twist it and bring the loop back around. This is your first of three loops for this layer. Follow the same steps and measurements three times. Now place this ribbon onto your ribbon stack, making sure the 2 loops are opposite and tie into the bundle.
Take your last 1.5" Ribbon, dove tail it and measure out a 6" tail. Then Pinch at the 6" mark, measure out 9", pinch it and twist it and bring the loop back around. This is your first of three loops for this layer. Follow the same steps and measurements three times. Now place this ribbon onto your ribbon stack, making sure the 2 loops are opposite and tie into the bundle.
Review your bow and make sure most of your loops are where they need to be and then secure the stack of ribbon together using your pipe cleaner or a zip tie.
Now we can hide the mechanics of the bow (whatever you used to secure it together) by cutting about a 6" strip of ribbon, removing the wires, folding it in 3rds, and wrapping it around the center of your bow. Once wrapped tie it off and trim the excess ribbon.
Give your bow one final fluffing and it is ready to be used in your wreath.
