What You Will Need

  • Ribbon – Choose a ribbon of your choice in color and width. Satin or grosgrain ribbons work best for bow making.
  • Scissors – A good pair of scissors to cut the ribbon cleanly.
  • Wire or Twist Tie – This will be used to secure the center of the bow.

Step 1: Cutting the Ribbon

Start by cutting a length of ribbon for your bow. The length will depend on how big you want your finished bow to be. As a general rule, cut a piece of ribbon that is about three times the desired width of your bow.

Step 2: Creating Loops

To create the loops of your ribbon bow, hold one end of the ribbon and fold it back and forth to form loops. Make each loop identical in size. Continue folding the ribbon until you have the desired number of loops on each side. Typically, three to four loops on each side work well.

Step 3: Securing the Center

Once you have folded all the loops, pinch the center of the ribbon together firmly. Use a wire or twist tie to secure the center tightly. Ensure that the ends of the wire or twist tie are long enough to wrap around the entire bow.

Step 4: Shaping the Bow

With the center secured, it’s time to shape your bow. Gently separate and arrange each loop to create a full and evenly distributed bow. Adjust the loops until they are symmetrical and visually appealing. Take your time during this step, as it significantly impacts the overall look of the bow.

Step 5: Cutting and Finishing

Once you are satisfied with the shape of your bow, trim the ends of the ribbon to your desired length. You can cut them into a V-shape or diagonally for a polished look. To prevent fraying, use a lighter to quickly seal the cut ends of the ribbon. Be careful not to hold the flame too close to the ribbon to avoid scorching it.

Step 6: Attachment

Your beautiful ribbon bow is now ready to be attached to your desired item. You can use glue, double-sided tape, or a small wire to attach the bow securely. Be creative and have fun with your choice of attachment method!

There you have it! A step-by-step guide to making ribbon bows. With practice, you will master the art of bow making and create beautiful bows for any occasion. So grab your ribbon and scissors, and let your creativity shine!
