Easy Burlap Bow-tutorial

Sometimes a new bow is all you need to refresh and old wreath.

Here's an easy way to make beautiful "fool-proof" bows for any wreath.
 I start with ribbon.  This is burlap ribbon from Micheals.
 Cut (2) two lengths equal to the width of the bow you desire.
Each length should be long enough to create a loop {as shown}
with cut ends meeting in the back, and laying over each other.
I make one slightly smaller than the other so they layer.
 Do a "pinch pleat" with each loop section.  
The cut ends are in the back.
 Tie with string to secure.
Layer these two tied bow loops. 
 Layout your tail length over these loops.
 Use the tail length to tie the two loops together.
 Make sure your knot is in the back 
and arrange so the tails and bow sections look pretty.
 Attach to your wreath with wire or string
