Materials

Instructions
- Cut the burlap and ribbons into approximately 2-4" wide by 12-16" long strips. The length of the ribbons will determine the size of the bow.
- Starting with a burlap piece, lay the ribbon strips down one by one in a criss-cross pattern varying the ribbons as you go.
- Taking the zip tie, wiggle it underneath the stack of ribbons until it comes out on the other side and then zip it half way.
- Flip the ribbon stack over and bring the zip tie around the the back to zip it tight. Trim the zip tie.
- Pull each ribbon strip towards the center until you have a pom pom shape for your bow.
- Take the stack in your hand like a bouquet and using the scissors, trim to the desired length evening up the strips.
- Shake out the bow to release the strings.
- Glue an embellishment in the center like a piece of vintage jewelry or bling.
