Want to decorate your tree to the nines this year? Then this is the perfect craft for you. It only requires a few supplies and will look oh-so pretty wrapped around your fir or cedar.


Shape Ribbon into a Bow

To get started shape a length of thin ribbon (3/8- or 1/2-inch thick) into a bow. Attach the ribbon together where is overlaps with hot glue.

Wrap a short length of the same ribbon around the center "x" and hot glue it in place.

Continue Making the Garland

Thread a second length of ribbon (you can use the same ribbon or one that is a different color and pattern) through the loop of the first bow. Follow the instructions from the previous two slides to shape into a ribbon. Repeat until desired garland length is achieved.
