Alternative Accessories

 2.5" Red Lame` Ribbon

 3" Wire Balls: Lime Green

 Aluminum Craft Wire 2 MM: Red or tinsel roping

Add Wire Balls and a Ribbon Tail:

Cut your desired ribbon- approximately 3-4 foot long pieces.  Lay out length wise. Tie wire balls onto ends of the ribbon.

In the center of each piece of ribbon use aluminum craft wire or the tinsel roping to gather up the tails. Twist the wire so about half of the ribbon lies on either side. Stagger the wire ball height to create interest.  Use this wire to attach the tails onto the back of the bow.

 

Final Product

We used three pieces of red ribbon with a green wire ball on each end (6 wire balls total) and two additional tails of the striped deco mesh ribbon as accent.
