How to make a big beautiful bow?

1) Cut a piece of ribbon. Fifteen to 20 inches of ribbon will make a nice-size, simple bow. 2) Make two loops (or bunny ears) with your ribbon. Adjust the loops to be the size you want the loops of your bow to be. 3) Fold the left loop over the right loop and bring it around and back through the center hole. 4) Pull tight to create a knot. Tug on the loops and tails to finesse your bow, and remember: No one gets a perfect bow on the first try.

How to make the perfect bow?

Take a long piece of ribbon (at least 36 inches) and create a loop at one end,folding one side over itself.

Create another,larger loop with the same piece of ribbon and fold in underneath the center loop. Repeat on the opposite side of the bow.

Continue making loops,alternating sides and making each set a little longer or bigger than the previous one.

When you have as many loops as you’d like,make one final loop. This one should be big and will actually be the tails to your bow.

Tuck this edge under the bow. Insert a pipe cleaner under the center loop to gather all the loops of the bow. Twist to secure and trim edges.

Cut the final long loop,giving your bow two tails.

Fluff the loops to give your bow shape and fullness.

Trim the tails at a diagonal to create two points to each tail (optional).
