2 - Weave ribbon in and out through spaces on rnd 2, tie in a bow (this will be bottom of wreath).
3 - Clip wire from gold ribbon rose up to point where wrapping starts to thicken. Apply a thin layer of glue to paper wrapping so it won't unravel.
4 - Slip stem of ribbon rose behind bow, apply small dab of glue, and press bow down on stem. Bend rose over so it covers the knot of the bow. Hold in place for about 15sec, then set aside till dry.
5 - Glue pin back to top back of wreath. Allow glue to dry.


This is how I made this pin for my DD Suzanne, but you can vary the design any way you want by using different colored thread, ribbon, etc.

Happy Hoildays!!!!!
