You are right up to date swest2, as using silver pieces as decorations is the latest kick! Is it old silver or new? Please be sure to let us see the finished product. Thanks. Pink

Thanks J, but I just now found THE perfect online craft store! I looked at Joann's and she didn't have what I really wanted. What I like about online stores like this one is they have so many choices, more than a Hobby Lobby would. Our HL isn't all that either. :( Since I last posted I ordered an Apothecary Jar (inexpensive and the right size) and found this website to help me decorate it. They also have a lot of Christmas things to decorate with, all at low prices. They're out of California and have a picture of their store. It's beautiful!

Sure, caanei, I'm just not sure how well I can explain it. Decide on tail length, and if you want more 2 or 4 tails. If you want two, leave a single length before starting the loops. At the end you'll leave another length which will become the 2nd tail. If you want 4, then start with a big loop which will later be cut to make tails, and you'll finish with another big loop which will become tails 3 and 4. There is, of course, option here for many tails and I often will use a 5th. So with the big length hanging down, now make the 1st loop which will become the bow. Pinch and wrap twice with 24 gauge wire, Make another loop, pinch into place and wrap with wire and tighten. This will be the centre of the bow. I hold the tails in my right hand with my baby and ring finger, pinch with my thumb and forefinger, and lay the paddle wire over the back of my pinching hand. The other hand works the loops. Then just keep making the loops, working around the first two loops, pinching into place and wrapping tight with wire. With 2.5" ribbon, 7-9 loops makes a pretty nice sized bow. Narrower ribbon requires more loops. I like smaller looped bows better than long but that's just my preference. At the end, leave a length for the 2nd tail (or a big loop for the 3rd & 4th tail, or a loop and a length for 5 tails). Give it a final 2 wraps of wire and tighten. Fluff starting from the middle and work out. Cut the big loops to make the tails. And that's it - hope I explained it well enough.

A huge wreath might just look cool !!!
