How to Tie a Perfect Bow {Video Tutorial}

I’ve gotten more than a few requests for a tutorial on how I tie my bows; this is definitely an area where a video explains things so much more easily than simple text.

Using this tutorial, your bows will look like this:

and this:

A few tips:

• -Start with more ribbon than you think you need.  I use 36″ (1 yard) for this particular bow; I’d rather cut a little off when I’m finished than not have enough.
• -I use 1.5″ ribbon most frequently and usually buy it at Hobby Lobby when it’s 50% off.
• -Using a dab of Fray Check on the ends keeps them from fraying over time.
• -Practice makes perfect!  After you tie a few, you’ll be able to make a perfect bow every time.

Now, here’s the video.  Just leave a comment if you have any questions and I’ll try to answer them.

Thanks for stopping by!
