Front door greetings

Earlier this summer, I purchased this wreath for $3 from a friend. I was so excited to put it up, that I really didn't take the time to add too much to it and just stuck it on the front door like this:
Well, 'tis the season, and it needed a face lift. After stopping at Michael's and grabbing some cute ribbon, I got to work. I knew I wanted a bow and I wanted to include the burlap ribbon I used in the Thanksgiving mantel display. I also wanted to try my hand at those cute fabric flowers....except I used ribbon. (I always hunt on YouTube to find how-to videos for anything I want to do.) I didn't do it exactly as the video said, but I got the same result, so I'm keeping them. They are a nice touch to the wreath.
I was thinking of covering the wreath completely in the burlap, but changed my mind and I'm so glad I did! I only used flower wire to attach everything, no glue. This way, I can change it up after the holidays!
