Prep Evergreen base
Fluff the pine tines
Cut deco mesh into twelve 28” strips
Ruffle each deco mesh stripe and tie it into base using pine tines
Place the first four pieces by centering them around the base
Fill in the empty spaces until all twelve deco mesh strips have been used
Secure the wood sign
Cut the existing string in two; knot the ends, so that they do not leave the holes bare
Cut small pieces of cardboard or felt and staple two pipe cleaners to the back of the sign
Add the sign to the evergreen base
Make and add a large bow (Lisa Bow)
Using the 2 ½” ribbon and measure an 8” tail
Make three 6” loops, pinching and twisting between them.
Cut your ribbon, leaving another 8” tail; place in the EZ bow maker
Repeat the above instruction for the second 2 ½” ribbon
Using the first and second 1½” ribbons, measure an 8” tail
Make three 5” loops, pinching and twisting between them
With the last 1½” ribbon, make an 8” tail
Make one loop 4” and then make three 5” loops, pinching and twisting between them
When placing the different ribbons in the EZ bow maker, alternate the placement of the loops (if two loops on left side, place next ribbon color with one loop to the left until complete)
Secure the center of your ribbons with a pipe cleaner, adjusting your final, smaller loop to cover the pipe cleaner.
Move your ribbon tails to face downwards and spread out your loops and dovetail them.
Attach your bow to the bottom of your wreath, looping the pipe cleaner through your evergreen base.
Fluff the bow after it is attached to the base.
Make 5 additional smaller bows
Create 4 bows using one 2 ½” ribbon and one 1½” ribbon, using the smaller one on top of the other
Make an 8” tails (can cut shorter later), and make2 loops at 5 ½”
Add bow into pine tines of every other ruffle
Fluff after placing bows on base
Dovetail the tails
Add greenery sprays
Cut the greenery sprays (if they are pushables, push them all the way up)
Attach them to your evergreen base with hot glue all the way around, alternating them up and down the base
Continue with second greenery spray; adding with hot glue around the base and in the large bow
