GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Untwist materials completely. Start at one end of the wire form. Fold an end piece of material over the wire and glue in the back. Begin wrapping the material around the wire form as shown. Overlap at least 1″ with each wrap and make sure material is wrapped tightly. (NOTE: when going around corners you will need to fold some of the material towards the back and glue.) When you have completely wrapped wire, cut off excess materials and glue end to the back. Add a bow. Instructions listed below.

Use the 1 yard of contrast color. Untwist material. Leaving a 3″ tail, make a 3″ loop on each side of your hand. Next, make a 2″ loop on each side, laying them on top of the first loops. While holding the middle of the bow, make a small center loop. Using the floral wire, secure the bow in the middle by putting the wire through the small loop and tightening it in the back. Bring the remaining material down as a tail.
