Step 6: Create and add bow

The final step is to wire or glue a bow to the top of the wreath. Make the bow by cutting a 40-inch piece of ribbon and shaping three 5-inch loops with it, leaving a 10-inch tail on one end. Wrap wire around the bow center and twist it around the center of the remaining piece of ribbon. Trim wire and ribbon tails. Hot-glue bow to the wreath.
