It is really simple and you only need a few supplies and about 5 minutes of your time. Plus putting a handmade item on a gift is so touching.

How to make a Burlap Bow

First lay your burlap on the floor or table and cross the two as shown in the photo. Then, with a piece of floral wire cut and ready, pinch the center of the ribbon to form a bow and secure with the wire.

Once the center is secured, cut a piece of the ribbon about 3″ x 2″ or desired length and plug in your hot glue gun. Fold the fabric into thirds and glue together.

Then, tightly wrap the ribbon or fabric around the center of the bow and glue together on the back. Be generous with the glue to make sure it adheres well.
