Ribbon Pockets

I have a fondness for the simple, affordable wreaths that are sold at grocery stores this time of year, but I don’t love the bows that come with them — I always switch them out. Here is a way to repurpose those discarded bows – which are stiff and sturdy – perfect for this project…

With just a few simple folds and one staple, these little pockets can hold greenery — tuck them all around the house.

I took it apart and steamed the ribbons. I cut some in half lengthwise and others I left thick.

Fold ribbon in half – to create a conical point.

Fold long the lengths of ribbon back underneath.

Fold the ribbon ends down. Nuzzle the stapler into the conical point and staple all folds together.
