    Steps

    1Measure your wire netting

    Roll out the wire netting, measure a length of one metre and cut. Next, cut this piece of netting in half lengthways so that you have two pieces.

    2Shape the wire netting

    Roll your two pieces of netting lengthways. Bend one end of each piece into a circle so that it forms the shape of the number nine. Using garden zip ties, secure your number nine shape by connecting the netting together where it touches to form the number nine.

    3Create the bow shape

    Connect your two number nines together so that they form the shape of a bow. (Your number nines should be backwards.) Secure them together using a garden zip tie.

    4Decorate your bow

    Now it’s time to get creative! Decorate your bow however you’d like. Cut up artificial flowers and leaves to your desired length and stick them onto the netting using glue.

    5Add the finishing touch

    Once you’re happy with your decorations, create another bow using the jute webbing. Attach this to your two number nines with another garden zip tie. Hang your Christmas bow on your door or wall using adhesive hooks.
