Handmade Christmas Ornaments: Tulle Ribbon Wreath

Decorate a small 4″ embroidery hoop with tulle ribbon to make a gorgeous handmade Christmas wreath ornament. I found a Handmade Christmas Ornamentscheap plastic embroidery hoop at the Dollar Store. Using the Mini Bowdabra, I created simple little scrunchy tulle ribbon bows. I tied the bows to the hoop using the Bowdabra Bow Wire. Then I added little red and green beads to the center of the scrunchy tulle bows and finished the handmade ornament with a red velvet bow.
