Project details:

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

↓ Step-by-step

↓ Buy the supplies

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 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 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pull the wire tight to form the bow.

Step 5

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

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 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.
