This adorable handmade bow is a fun way to top a gift, hang on a tree, or a wreath.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • 20mm felt rounds or you can use the mix (I used separate rounds but you could buy the mix instead which also has white rounds)
  • 20mm wood rounds
  • 22 gauge wire

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Cut 3' of wire, just to make sure you have enough. Cut the wire ends at a sharp angle. This will make it easier to slide it through the felt. Slide a wood bead on and 7 felt rounds on either side.

Step

Step 2

Take one wire end and go up and over down through the wood bead hole.

Step

Step 3

Take the other side up and over through the wood bead hole. The wires should criss-cross through the wood bead.

Step

Step 4

Pull the wire tight to form the bow.

Step

Step 5

Slide 5 felt rounds onto the wire tails and a wood bead on the end.

Step

Step 6

Bring the wire up the back of the wood bead and wrap it around the top of the wood bead once or twice. Trim any excess wire.

Step

Step 7

Finished bow size is 5.5 x 6.5 inches. To have this bow hang, I strung some Linhasita cord through the center wood bead. Tie the Linhasita cord tails into a knot and use a lighter to burn and seal the knot.
