We pass these two loops one into the other and press well. As a result of this, a new green loop is obtained; we form and thread a new beige loop into it, after which another beige loop appears. Thus, forming loops and threading them into the resulting ones, we weave a wreath about 20 cm long, after which we glue its ends. This Christmas wreath can be woven from three or four multi-colored ribbons using any of the existing options braid and he will become even more elegant.
