    Make DIY Wired Ribbon Bows

    Published: Nov 18, 2013 · Modified: Nov 17, 2013 by Christina Dennis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 4 Comments

    Do you love Christmas as much as I do? I'm a HUGE fan. Celebrating Christ's birth is the best part for me and my family, but I also love all of the good memories that I associate Christmas with.

    I'm really, really excited for Christmas 2013 because this is the very first Christmas that I have a big house to decorate! We lived in our garage house for almost 7 years prior to our new house, and we could barely even fit a Christmas tree in it. This year, I'm going as crazy with festive decor as I can within our budget. And I'm starting NOW!

    Make DIY Wired Ribbon Bows for Christmas!

    I love big, sparkly bows at Christmas time. My mom always had red ribbon bows incorporated into her festive decor, and I always thought they were so pretty.

    I found this gold & cream wired ribbon at Homesense and it was love at first sight. I made these DIY bows using this wonderful tutorial from Sweet Athena.

    Make DIY Wired Ribbon Bows for Christmas!

    Since my ribbon was wider than the one in the tutorial (it's 2 ½"), I used the following measurements:

    • main bow pieces: 24" long
    • "tails": 18" long
    • middle tie: 6 ½" long

    These bows are wonderful because they're so simple to make, I can squish and store them  with my Christmas decor, and "re-pouf" them when I want to use them again next Christmas!

    When do you start your Christmas decorating?

      I BET you're having fun decorating your house this year! We can't get a tree just yet, but I've been slowly finding time to hang wreaths on the doors and changing out my throws and pillow covers for more Christmas-y colours! The free Pointsettia from Superstore adds a nice touch, too. =)

      […] I’ve added even more colours to our tree decor this year and I think it looks so pretty against all of the grey in our living room. It’s fun and casual, which both the girls and I love! The gold chevron ribbon is the same ribbon I used for my DIY bows on our staircase. […]
