Gather your supplies and materials.We recommend sorting the gift bows by colour (and/or size) so you can tell what bows you have the most of as you add them to your wreath.
Step 2: Attach bows inside the wreath
Remove the entire paper/plastic back from the gift bow.
Add hot glue to the back of the bow.
Press the bow onto the inside of the wreath form.
Add glue to a second bow after removing the backing.
Place this bow really close to the first bow. You want the sides of the bows to be overlapping.Press the bow to make sure it sticks in place. You may want to use a pencil or skewer to do this, to avoid hot glue on your fingers.
Continue to fill the inside of the wreath form with bows.As you add the bows you'll want to space out the colours so they're not right beside each other.
Step 3: Add more rows of bows
Now you can begin adding bows on top of the wreath form.Again, make sure you place the bows closer than you think you need. You really have to smush the bows together to avoid the wreath form showing through.
Continue adding bows to the wreath on the top and side.We like to add them randomly around the circle, rather than going in a particular order. This allows you to get the most of your colour selection.For example, place a red on top where there isn't one directly inside.
Fill in any empty spots if your bows have slipped or are further away than you planned.
Continue adding bows until the whole wreath is filled.Be sure to look at the wreath from both the front and the sides. This will really allow you to fill in all the gaps.
Step 4: Attach a wreath hanger
Cut a piece of ribbon between 14 and 16 inches long.
Add a generous amount of hot glue to the back of the wreath, just off from the top center.
Press one end of the ribbon into the glue. Be really careful, as the glue can seep through the ribbon easily.You may want to press the ribbon down with a pencil or skewer, or simply press down on the ribbon outside of the glue area.
Add the opposite end of the ribbon into more glue.Allow the glue to dry before flipping the wreath over or carrying it by the hanger.
