Home-Made Bows Add Sparkle to Tree

Here's a quick way to add color and sparkle to a Christmas tree with bows made from ribbon. You'll need two-inch wired metallic ribbon, a two-inch thick dowel or a broom handle and a spool of floral wire. Pick gold, red or green for a festive look.

• Cut a 15-inch piece of ribbon from the roll of ribbon and lay it flat on the work surface with any pattern or texture face down.

• Place dowel vertically on the ribbon and tie a bow around it.

• Cut a 10-inch piece of floral wire, slip the bow off the dowel and thread the wire through loop. Fold the wire in half and twist a couple of times.

• Use the ends of the wire to tie the bow to tree.
