Definitely this is the year to ring out the old and bring in the new. Celebrate ushering out 2020 and greeting 2021 with a New Year’s wreath.
Gather these supplies:
- 30″ length Bowdabra bow wire
- 20″ length Bowdabra bow wire
- Bowdabra Bow Making & Design Tool
- 18″ length 2″ wired ribbon for tails
- 48″ length 2″ wired ribbon for bow
- 2 plastic champagne flutes
- 2021 cutout
- Double sided tape
- Wreath of your choice
Let’s make the New Year’s Wreath:
- Use the 30″ length of bow wire to wire the stems of the champagne flutes together.
- Cut the ribbon to length, dovetail the ends of the 18″ length of ribbon, and pass the ribbon ends through a flame to seal the ends.
- Fold bow wire in half and put it in the Bowdabra. Tuck the ends of the wire under the Bowdabra to keep them out of the way.
- Center the 18″ length of ribbon in the Bowdabra, forming the tails of the bow.
- Next, make a bow with the 48″ length of ribbon.
- Compress the ribbon with the Bowdabra wand.
- With the bow still in the Bowdabra, pass the wire ends through the loop and tighten. Tie a knot on the reverse side. Leave the wire ends long to attach the bow to the wreath.
- Attach the bow to the stems of the champagne flutes.
- Attached bow and flute to wreath.
- Use double sided tape to attach the 2021 cutout to the wreath.
- Ring in the new year in style.
