How to make a ribbon loop

Like figure-of-8 bows, ribbon loops are used to accent and soften your bouquet. They are quite useful in separating flowers- if you are only using one color of flower in your bouquet, you can put a ribbon loop between the roses to break up the color.

You will need:

• 7 Pieces of ribbon, about 5 inches in length
• 7 Thin wires
• Stem tape

Step 1: Cut the ribbon.

Take the ribbon, and cut it into 9 pieces, each about 5 inches in length

Step 2: Loop the ribbon

Take a piece of ribbon and squeeze the cut ends together, so that it forms a loop.

Step 3: Wrapping the wire

Wrap wire around the end of the ribbon that is squeezed together

Step 4: Taping

Tape the wire.

There you have it! Very easy, I think you'll agree.

Ribbon loops are great for softening a bouquet, as you can see from the photographs below...
