Red is the most festive color of the season—bask in the merry hue with this simple yet stately wreath made from knotted wide grosgrain ribbon.
Materials
• Sharp scissors
• 29 yards 1 1/2"-wide red grosgrain ribbon ($4 for 4 yards; HobbyLobby.com)
• 12" Styrofoam wreath form ($5; Joann.com)
• Ribbon scrap
• Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
Directions
1. Cut ribbon into 69 segments, 15" each.
2. Tie first ribbon in a tight double knot around Styrofoam ring with knot in the center of the wreath, facing outward. Add second ribbon, tying it close to the first ribbon so the knots touch. Continue around wreath, keeping ribbons close together and tying the knots the same way every time.
3. Straighten ribbons and trim ends to make a uniform edge.
4. Make a loop with scrap ribbon and glue to back for hanging.
