• Styrofoam Wreath (10 inches across)

• 45 yards of ribbon (ex: 5 yards of 9 different ribbons) You can use more or less ribbon depending on how full you want your wreath to be and what size styrofoam wreath you buy.

• Straight Pins (about 360 pins)

• Ruler

• Scissors

1. Start out by cutting your ribbon into pieces about 4 1/2-inches long. Use about 360 pieces of ribbon for a 10-inch styrofoam wreath. If you had 9 different ribbons, maybe cut 40 pieces from each ribbon. You can use more or less ribbon depending on how full you want the wreath to look.

2. Form each piece of ribbon into a loop shape as shown in the picture. The ends should overlap about a 1/4" - 1/2". This does not have to be precise, just estimate each one. If your ribbon has a front and back side, make sure the front side is facing out. Poke a straight pin centered through the ribbon to hold the ends together. Start at the inside of the ribbon so the pointed end is on the outside of your ribbon loop.

3. Now, you can attach your ribbon loops to the styrofoam wreath by simply poking the pins into the styrofoam, pushing them in all of the way. It's easier to work with one colour of ribbon at a time so you can get them evenly spread out around the wreath. If you prefer you can completely fill in an area of the wreath as you go...

4. You will want to place the ribbon loops close enough together so you cannot see any of the styrofoam between them. Continue poking pinned ribbon pieces into your styrofoam wreath until it is full.

5. Once you have all of the ribbon loops in place, you can embellish your wreath if you like. You can use buttons, rhinestones, beads, or anything else you have on hand.This one would look better with a larger brown ribbon tied as a bow and added to the bottom of the wreath.

To hang your wreath, simply put a nail in the wall and pushed the wreath onto the nail. If you like, you can attach another loop of ribbon to the back of the wreath and use it for hanging. Make sure you secure the ribbon and pin in place using a strong glue!
