Christmas Wreath Ribbon sculpture???

[Satkins]

I have seen these little Christmas wreath ribbon sculptures and I cannot get over how cute they are... does anyone know where I can find a tut? Free would be great but I'll even pay for one!

This is what I used to make my wreath. I used 1/4" ribbon cut to 32". It is very easy to do.

Cute, I just watched the video and am wondering how to keep the wreath from looking oval? Does it work it's way out to be a circle? Or did you glue something behind it to stablize it into a circle?

i can't watch the video right now at work But I was just about to ask about these. I bought some, trying to figure it out. I knew it looked braided, but didn't know how to make it 3d. Look forward to seeing and trying this!

No I just glued it in a circle, and then spary with starch.

Peggy- What do you do after you pull the ribbon through the final loop? Does it just stay there? Or do you glue it or maybe tie a knot? I'm going to make some of these. They are incredibly cute and unique. You said that you use 1/4 inch ribbon, can it be made with 3/8 inch for a clippy? Thank you so much for posting this! I love it! Your wreath sculptures are the ones that I have been drooling over for weeks- I saw one of yours on another thread. I'm so excited that I now can give it a shot! Thanks again!

I was wrong when I said 1/4, I used 1/8". I have not tried doing it with 3/8". The 1/8" when done makes about 1 1/2" wreath, and I put it on a clip. Yes I put a little glue on the back to hold the ends.
Glad I could help.

I just made mine and it is cute! Used fabric tac to glue on the rhinestones and the last knot I made a knot, glued in the back and tucked in.
