Christmas Ribbon Wreath

It’s Christmas crafting time…Fa, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La! Do you have your Christmas tunes playing in the background? Hehe…I know, so do I! I love this time of year and am so excited to get some Christmas crafts done for this fun time of year! Samantha from Fearlessly Creative Mamas is in the Christmas crafting spirit too and today she is sharing a festive Christmas Ribbon Wreath with fun ribbon and jingly bells that are helping us ring in our Christmas crafting season! Enjoy!

This week I am starting my Christmas projects. I know, I know, its a little early, but when you make things by hand they take time, and now is the time to start them!!

My first project was this really fun ribbon wreath. I love how it turned out, and it was really easy and didn’t take too much time.

All I needed for my project was some really fun ribbon that I got from The Ribbon Retreat. If you haven’t been to The Ribbon Retreat, you are really missing out! They have an amazing selection of ribbon for EVERY season, in EVERY color! I could just get lost in it all and spend an entire day browsing their ribbon!! I also used a styrofoam circle, some silver jingle bells, and pinking shears.

Don’t you just love this festive ribbon?!!

I cut all of my ribbon out with the pinking shears so it doesn’t fray on the ends, and it also looks cool.

I cut my ribbon out in strips. I didn’t measure any of it. I just guessed how long I wanted the ends to be and tried it out and if that looked good to me, that’s how long I cut the rest of the strips out.

Once I had my strips cut out, I wrapped them around the circle and just tied them in a double knot. You can make the strips as long as you want, to make it stick out as long as you want.

I just kept tying all of the strips on until the circle was covered and I liked how it looked.

For the bells, I fed some ribbon through the strings on the bells, then tied them to the top of my wreath. Then to keep them in place I just used these little thumb tacks and put them through the back so you can’t see them.

This is my finished wreath. I love how it turned out!!! And I love how easy it was to make. I will for sure be making more of these for some easy Christmas presents!! Have you started any Christmas projects yet??
