Step 1

Overlap gingham ribbon over burlap ribbon and make a multi-loop bow. Your bow should have approximately seven 5½" [14 cm] loops.
TIP: To make a multi-loop bow, you’ll work with the ribbon while it’s still on its spool. Start by measuring out a tail that’s about 9" [22.8 cm] long, then follow these steps:
- Make a loop with about 11" [28 cm] of ribbon. Pinch and twist the ribbon after the first loop and make a second loop that’s the same size on the other side of the pinched area. This will become the centre of your bow.
- As you work, keep the bow’s centre pinched between your finger and thumb. This makes it easier to hold the bow together as you add loops on each side.
- Continue making loops on either side of the centre, alternating sides, until you have a total of seven loops.
- Twist a chenille pipe cleaner around the centre to fasten it and use the excess to attach to your wreath. Shape each of the bow’s loops.
- Cut the ribbon from its spool but leave another 9" [22.8 cm] tail.
- Keep the bow’s tails long (about 8" - 9" [20.3 cm - 22.8 cm]) but trim their ends at an angle to avoid any fraying.

Step 2

Cut apart the sunflower bush and place them around the wreath.

Step 3

Cut apart the blue snowball bush and use them to fill in around your wreath.

Step 4

Fill in areas as desired with the filler/greenery mixed bush.

Step 5

Accent with dried lotus pods as desired.

Step 6

Once you are happy with the placement of each floral element, glue them all into place.
