Hi Everyone! Here we go with my 2nd Christmas craft for 2019. In this one I utilize a gorgeous lantern that I got from Bella D. Designs (info linked below). Unfortunately, Bella is currently sold out of the large lantern that I used in this video, but, as far as I know she still has some of the smaller sized lanterns available, they look like this one . I am super happy with how this worked out! My next video will most likely go up on Tuesday morning, I'm in the process of putting my blue and white decor away this weekend. I hope to bring you my mantel on Tuesday.
I am not always able to respond back to comments. On those occasions, once you see my “❤️” show up, you'll know that I have read your comment and taken it straight to my heart of hearts!! I absolutely read *all* comments. Thank you all so very much in advance! MUCH LOVE AND HUGS ALL AROUND! ❤️
Regarding any questions, I will either answer via commenting back, or I will add Q&A answers to the end of an upcoming video.

Miss Lydia took my instructions and created this "Tiered Bow Cheat Sheet"...Thank you so, so much Lydia!!!!
"TIERED BOW CHEAT SHEET
We are making a four loop tiered bow with 3 tails.
Unroll a couple of yards from the roll of ribbon.
Hold the end of the ribbon and make your first fold about the width you prefer for the first loop.
Hold the end with you thumb, this will become the center.
Fold the ribbon up to overlap that end of the ribbon and to complete the loop..
At that center, pinch the sides of the ribbon together, creating the first 2 loops of the tiered bow.
Next we create the center loop of the bow.
Holding it pinched together in the middle, twist the ribbon around your forefinger to create the center “knot” or smaller loop of your bow. Then pinch the ribbon again behind the knot to secure it at the center.
Taking the free end of the ribbon, twist it so the right side is showing and make another loop about a half inch longer than the first loop and pinch together in the center. That is your second tier.
Again twist the free end of the ribbon so the right side shows. Make another set of loops a half inch longer than the last tier. That is your third tier.
Repeat one more time for the fourth and final tier, finishing with 4 loops on each side of the center.
Take the free end of the ribbon, making it as long as you desire for the tail and pull it back up to the center, pinching it together.
You will have one long loop for the tail, and the free end of the ribbon. Cut the free end about the same length as the long loop.
Next take your pipe cleaner and thread it around the center, underneath your knot and your thumb. Center the pipe cleaner and twist the ends together as tightly as possible.
Now take time to fluff out all the loops. Fluff, Fluff, Fluff! is the most important step!
Cut the long tail loop in half and trim all three ends to finish. You can trim the ends slanted or dove-tailed."
