Length of ribbon for
bow, any width
Piece of small ribbon for centre
Tape
Fold the
piece of short ribbon once lengthwise and lay on table.
Wind the long ribbon loosely around your
hand to form a roll.
Press the roll together in centre.
Fold at centre and cut two V shaped pieces
out as shown.
Tie the small piece of ribbon at the notch.
Pull out loops from the inside,
alternating one to the left and then to the right. Give each loop a
full twist to the centre after pulling out. Continue to pull out loops
and arrange bow as desired.
The finished bow is
round, full and holds its
shape. Bow is ready to tie on package.
For a flat bow,
use less ribbon and pull loops out sideways.
