I'd go to a florist and ask them to make up the 'bow' bit and also buy a roll of florist ribbon from them in the same colour.

All you need to do is walk along the side of the car with the ribbon running along the top (best 2 people doing it, get someone to hold the end of the roll at the front/middle of the car), bring the roll down the back of the car and then 'roll' the roll underneath the car so it comes back to your helper, then tie it underneath the bumper where you won't see it.

Then just do the same again going across the car.

You can attatch the 'bow' to the ribbon easily with staples or something similar.

Or you could just get a few metres of fabric, open both front doors, thread the fabric through and tie in a bow on the car roof.


Are you getting someone a car for Christmas?? How exciting!!

I am a florist ,and the first picture is easy to do , the other picture would be a little harder as getting ribbon that wide may be a problem.

Word of advice go to see your local florist ASAP, as we get very busy/grumpy the later it is to Christmas (LOL)
