Mini Fall Rope Wreath/Cute Messy Bow-DIY
Mini wreaths are my favorite way to decorate … and those bows, messy bows, folded bows , criss cross bows …who doesn’t love them ? Love to use them in pairs at least! They are powerful enough to make its mini statement in you home decor. I like to keep them no bigger then 6 inches. It is not easy to find those mini frames in the stores so every time I see them I grab them in bunches. If you are
Most available frames in 6 inch size on the market are embroidery hoops. They will work too for this project.
Supplies needed for our Mini Rope Wreath
- mini wreath around 6 inch
- rope
- recycled ribbon pieces
- hot glue gun with glue sticks
Let’s begin! I am going to use my mini frame that i already have at my house. It is pressed paper one- my favorite one in all of my crafts!
Start with a dot of hot glue to secure your rope and wrap your circle around. It doesn’t take long at all.
Make sure you wrap tight and close together so wreath frame is not showing. Secure your end with dot of hot glue at the end and tuck in under last loop
There are so many ways to decorate our mini wreath. You could use groupings of little seasonal items like acorns, cones or even pumpkins but I am going to keep mine plain and decorate it with just a bow! I LOVE BOWS!! Always did… my daughter always had one in her hair!
Most of my project happen on the fly as there is a need for them. Buffalo Check ribbon is so hot now so I decided to give it a try . Double tied folded bow is the one I always do but I need it a bit more for what I had in mind so I decided to make a bigger bow!

Time to go to PLAN B for our wreath making bow
Just because I have so many scraps of ribbon that it is so scary so I decided to use it all or at least most of it…. so lets make my favorite MESSY BOW!!
Love to put to use old jeans to make bows. See easy instructions on Jean messy. bow HERE
Cute Messy Bow!
There is really no rules how many pieces you need to use …I would say use at least 3 or 4 if scraps are on the longer side but if they are short you can use even more!
Step 1
organize your ribbon. I love to mix texture and width
Step 2
Loop your ribbon …It looks really messy but it is ok
Step 3
Fold all in half and find the middle
Step 4
Secure tight middle of our ribbon “mess” …ha ha …with thin wire
you can add a bead or 2
Step 5
Cut ends of your loop
and you are done!
Now it is time to trim ends nicely and attach it to our mini wreath! Not much wasted material and that is what I like !
