Tired of crooked bows? Uneven ends? Want a bow that's picture perfect?
Follow these simple directions and you'll soon have a beautiful bow!


 

1. Begin with ribbon around bear's neck, left side just a bit longer than the right. 2. Bring left side over right side, then up and under right side.
You'll come out over the top of the right side.


3. Take left side and form a loop with left hand as shown. 4. Bring right ribbon over the top of the loop in your left hand.


5. Push right ribbon up under loop, coming out on the left side
to form the left loop, making it the same size as the right loop.
6. To tighten knot: First, grab front of left loop and pull.
This will tighten the knot, NOT pull the end of the ribbon up.



7. Now grab the back of the right loop and pull.
This will again tighten the knot. The end should not get shorter.
8. To get the loops the size you'd like and ends even
pull the loops or ends to where you'd like, being sure to tighten
the knot each time so your bow stays in place when you are done.

Keep practicing and soon this process should feel comfortable to you and produce great bows on the first try!
