Product Information

When my daughter Morgan was about 6 months old, I decided that I needed a way to work from home. For some reason, my answer to that dilemma was a hair bow business. This seemed like a really good idea at the time and it lasted about a year.But after too many hot glue burns and 2 a.m. Dr. Pepper breaks, I decided it would be best to take an early retirement from the bow-making business. If you don’t have wire on hand for the middle of the bow, you can use the same tutorial above but you can use the burlap strip itself to hold the bow together. Cut your center strip slightly longer so that you can tie it in a knot behind the center of the bow. Once you have tied the knot, clip the excess ends so they don’t show from behind the bow. How to Make a Burlap Bow Without Wire Ribbon If you are like me, you have tons of burlap fabric laying around from other DIY crafts. To use burlap fabric to make large bows, cut it in long 12-inch strips. Then fold over the fabric to make 3 or 4 inch wide ribbon strips. I like to iron them so they lay flat and keep their shape. Then, use those long strips as your burlap ribbon. How to Tie a Burlap Bow for a Wreath You aren’t just limited to making bows for wreaths with this tutorial but you can also use this same technique for door hangers, Christmas tree toppers and gift wrappings. Just use the tutorial above and attach it with wire or a zip tie. You can even add a bow to these vibrant sunflowers or other burlap flowers and floral bows. How to Tie a Burlap Bow Around A Vase

Cut three to four lengths of ribbon that are about two feet long to use as your streamers. Cut the end that will be dangling down over your tree on an angle for a nice finished look. To secure my streamers, I just wrapped the top few inches of each right around the top of my tree. Since the ribbon is wired, it holds quite well and looks tidy. You can hot glue the bow to a longer piece of ribbon that attaches to the pew or chair. Be sure to twist or gather the ribbon with wire before hot gluing it to the bow before attaching it. That will make it look like you made the bow from one long continuous piece of ribbon. No one will know the difference!!! The Best Type of Ribbon for a Burlap BowPlace your bow on the top branches of your tree as the perfect finishing-touch after adding all your sparkling ball ornaments, tinsel, keepsake homemade Christmas ornaments, and any other natural elements you’d like to add to the main part of your tree, such as fresh greenery or your favorite type of pinecone. You can make several different bow shapes without wire ribbon. Many bow-making tutorials don’t tell you that you can use any ribbon as long as you spray the bow with hair spray to hold it’s shape. Hair spray works well on burlap ribbon bows but also satin and grosgrain ribbon. Make one long tinsel tie by wrapping two together. Then, wrap the arms of the tinsel tie around the center, over the zip tie and twist the arms to secure. This will be the way you or your customer will attach the topper bow to the tree.

When you have all of your loops done, pinch them all tightly together at the base and wrap them tightly in floral wire or pipe cleaners. I used two pipe cleaners and twisted each together like a twist-tie to hold everything in place. Find the center loop and move it over the zip/tinsel ties. Separate and spread the loops out so you can see each layer. Dovetail the ends by folding the ribbon in half and cutting at an angle. You want the tails of each ribbon to be the same length. How to Attach a Tree Topper Bow Continuing creating loops until you have the full, fluffy bow that you were hoping for. My bow has twelve loops for reference. I could have gone for more, but you do want to leave a little bit of extra ribbon so that you can create matching streamers to hang down from your bow topper over the top 1/3-1/2 of your tree, which really helps to balance the look.
