Now we're in the home stretch!

You'll want to disguise the pinched centre of the ribbon bow with beads before you glue it to the top of your wreath. Add glue with the toothpick - a nice liitle blob is good. Add silver holeless beads thickly over the glue. Now it looks as if the beads are covering a knot in the ribbon!

Glue the beaded bow to the top of your wreath.

I recommend adding a gloss varnish over the beads to ensure that they stay put, and won't be easily dislodged by any bumps or knocks while being handled. I used Mod Podge, but any varnish should be good.

I didn't put a hanger on mine, as I thought it was better to just use Mini wax to hold the wreath in place (no nails to deal with in the doors or walls). You could just glue a loop of floss at the back if you wanted to hang it properly.

(The charm in this photo is a Christmas angel.)
