It's Day 6 and we are sharing DIY Wreaths!

Are you looking for something different for your door this holiday season other than the usual round wreath? Why not try a swag this year? A swag wreath can be easily customized to fit in with your decor. And it just takes a few accessories to make it pretty!

Take ribbon, for example. I am in love with this gold and white check ribbon! It's reversible with a shiny gold finish on one side. And it reminds me of a MacKenzie-Childs pattern, too!

I don't seem to be able to make beautiful, eye popping wreaths - that's why I try  to stay away from giving tutorials on diy wreaths. But I thought this ribbon and another smaller reversible ribbon, along with a few decorative stems and pine cones would be more than enough to decorate a plain white swag wreath. Easy, peasy! 

Also, it seemed like it would be easier to decorate the swag by hanging it up on a command hook. Hmm, I was so wrong!

 To get started, I cut off assorted ribbon tails and wrapped a chenille stem around the middle to attach them to the swag.

 Next, I got out my trusty Bowdabra to make the bows. First, the gold check ribbon and .  .  .

 then the smaller reversible gold and silver ribbon, on top! The Bowdabra is such a great tool to make .  .  .

 all sorts of bow loops and bows!

 Next, I dove tailed the ribbon ends by folding the ribbon together and cutting at an angle from the corner bottom edge to the fold .  .  .

for nice finished ends!

 Then, I started gluing on a few accessories like gold glitter pine cones .  .  .

 and gold glitter ball stems .  .  . and then the command hook fell down! I had to get out my wreath hanger that fits over the door .  .  .

 to finish this pretty holiday swag wreath!
