Project designed by Juanita Lewis.

Materials:

1-3/4 yards of hunter green ribbon
1-1/4 yards of red ribbon
berry or floral pick
12 inches of red or green curling ribbon

Steps:

1. Cut the green ribbon into four, nine-inch long lengths and dovetail the edges . Dovetail the edges by folding the ribbon lengthwise and cutting the edges at an angle.

2. Cut the red ribbon into three eight-inch lengths with dovetailed edges and three, seven-inches lengths with dovetailed edges.

3. Separate the four green ribbon pieces, positioning them side-by-side with shiny side up. Pinch the pieces together at the center and tie firmly together with the curling ribbon, double-knotting on the top side.

4. Separate the three, eight-inch pieces of red ribbon, positioning them side-by-side with the shiny side up. Pinch the lengths together at the center then place the bundle on top of the green ribbon layer and tie firmly into place with curling ribbon.

5. Separate the three, seven-inch lengths of red ribbon, and position them side-by-side with the shiny side up. Pinch the lengths together at the center then place the bundle on top of the first red layer of ribbon, tying firmly into place with the curling ribbon that's already on the bow.

6. Attach a berry or floral pick to the center of bow, tying it in with the curling ribbon. Trim or scissor-curl the remaining curling ribbon.
