Fall Lantern Decor And Funky Bow Tutorial 2018

In this Fall Lantern Decor And Funky Bow Tutorial 2018, I show how I decorated my large lantern for Fall. I also show how I make a funky bow to put on top of the lantern. I show how easy and inexpensive it is to decorate your home for Fall.
Instructions for Funky bow:
Use 3 different types of ribbon and cut three strips of each ribbon 28 inches.
Chevron the ends of each ribbon.
Fold 1 ribbon in half and make sure you have a 5 inch loop this will give you close to a 10 inch tail.
Pinch the ribbon together below the loop and hold it in your hand. Next take the other color of ribbon and do the same thing except this time put the ribbon in the opposite direction in your hand.
Continue until you run out of ribbon.
Place a chenille tie around the center of your bow and twist to secure.
