Step 10. Cut several strips of the faux burlap and cut off the wired edge. Fray the edges a bit of the ribbon. Create two bows with the faux ribbon with the wire still in. Use the cut wire from the previous cut and add into the back of the bow. This will let you attach the bows to each end of the garland. Take the frayed pieces of the ribbon and tie randomly on the garland to add some texture.

Step 11. Create a knotted loop on the end of the ribbon/garland to hang your decoration up.
