This creative Mardi Gras wreath is created using a grapevine wreath with layers of purple, gold, and green ribbon. Of course, there are plenty of beads too!
Let's start with 16 inches for the tail using 4" wired ribbon and then make an 7-inch loop on each side. We're going big on this one y'all, and end with another 16-inch tail.
Now we'll do our 4 loops with the 2.5" wired ribbon. The loops are going to be slightly smaller, and end with another 16-inch tail.
We're going to add one more 16-inch strip with the 4" wired ribbon. Just a tail in here.
Then we'll do our 2 loops with the 2.5" wired ribbon. The loops are going to be slightly smaller, and end with another 16-inch tail.
Now we'll do our 4 loops with the 1.5" wired ribbon. The loops are going to be slightly smaller, and end with another 16-inch tail.
Next, 2 loops of 1.5" wired ribbon, one loop on each side, slightly smaller, and end with another 16-inch tail.
We're going to add one more 16-inch strip with the 2.5" wired ribbon. Just a tail in here. This tail goes the opposite direction of last 16"-strip tail we did.
Now we're going to end it with one loop.
Get my pipe cleaner around it, get it nice and tight and twist it off.
