Step 19Make the Bow
For this step you will need your 3/4" ribbon, scissors, and needle and thread.
Note:I ran out of my 3/4" ribbon and had to make a bow from the smaller silver ribbon to show you how. You can see how the 3/4" bow is supposed to look in the Intro photo.
Okay, so the trick to this is to not think about it like you're tying a bow; we're just going to make it look like a bow. Start with a long length of ribbon and make two bends in the middle, like a staple would bend. Allow the ends to go past the edges of the loops and pinch it in the middle. You should get what I have in Photo 1.
Take your needle and thread and sew the bow together at the point you are pinching (Photos 2-3). It only needs to be a little 'x" of sewing; you'll be securing it with glue and another piece of ribbon soon. You should have what looks like Photo 4. Trim the ends of the ribbon into V points (Photo 5).
