Making Christmas decorations each year are a little Christmas tradition for our family. Little decorations also make a lovely gift at Christmas time. In this tutorial I’ll demonstrate how to make mini Christmas wreaths. They are similar to mini macrame Christmas wreaths I used to make as a kid, I’ve just used grosgrain ribbon instead of macrame cord. I’ve tied grosgrain ribbon around a metal ring using a half square knots, and added large jingle bells and grosgrain bows to embellish the mini wreaths.
OR
Start with knotting the ribbon around the ring like below. Halve the length of ribbon and place under the ring, bring the left side over the ring, the right side over the left ribbon and under the ring and through.
Tie each knot firmly. Then keep knotting around the ring as above. If you know macrame knots this one is the half square knot which gives the twisted effect, BUT you must keep the knots exactly the same all the way round.
Continue until you meet up with the starting point….
Step 2:
Thread one of the ribbon ends through the bell….
This is the step you can choose which way the bell hangs, down under the wreath….
…or in the middle of the wreath….
Loop the string or bakers twine around the ring, this is the hanging part of the wreath…
Tie a double knot with the ribbon to hold the bell in place….
Trim the excess lengths of ribbon from the knot….
Add the bows front and back. I used a hot glue gun to attach the bows. Adding the bows is not only decorative, but it helps hide the knotted ends of the wreath and holds this all in place.
Your mini wreaths are now complete and ready to hang at Christmas time.
