Step 1: Gather supplies. We used Jillson & Roberts 5/8″ satin ribbon in red green and gold, a glue gun, a 1.5″ cardboard circle, a stapler, and rhinestones. We used 19 strips of each color – you can use more or less depending on final size of bow. The longest strips were cut 7.5″ long, middle 6″ and shortest 5″ – again you can vary this to alter the size of your finished bow.

Step 2: Line up the ends of one strip each color. Bring the other ends around to line up also and staple together into teardrop shape. Do this for all the strips.

Step 3: Use glue gun to adhere ribbon bundles to cardboard circle. Don’t skimp on the glue!

Step 4: Glue rhinestones to center of bow to cover the ribbon seams.

Step 5: Add to gift and admire.
