Alright, so my tree is up and decorated and I have now created a tree topper. I may not be entirely done, but I have a good enough start and I'm happy enough with it for now. I started out by taking 3 different wire ribbons: 1 cream, 1 green, and one red. I think they were 2-3 inches wide. I layered them and then created your standard 6-loop bow. This was the hardest part because the ribbons didn't want to stay layered (you have to keep the same color on top at all times). When finished I secured it by tying a wire around the middle of the bow.
Next I flattened the top of the tree to make a spot for the bow and attached it with the wire. Then I just started poking things into the bow/tree. I used some berries, twigs, gold stars, and a few red spirally things. I still think I need to add a few things at the bottom of the bow, but haven't found the right thing yet. My materials for this project are from Menards and Walmart.
