Instructions
- Gather your supplies and materials. You only need ribbon and some scissors to tie this classic bow.We made our bow with thinner ribbon, but the same concept should work with any size!
- Cut a 12 inch piece of ribbon. Make two loops in the ribbon with a space between them and the ends hanging down towards you.
- Fold the right loop over top of the left loop.
- Fold the new left loop back and down, bringing it up to the front through the circle in the center.
- Before pulling the bow tight adjust the bow loops so that they're even and the size you'd like.
- Pull on the top loops to tighten the bow.
- Adjust the bow loops one last time and then cut the tails to your desired length.
- Your classic ribbon bow is complete!
