Instructions

    • 1

      Pinch two sides of the ribbon together to make a loop in the middle. The closer you pinch the sides, the smaller the loop will be.

    • 2

      Repeat this process in increments, making each loop slightly larger than the one before it. Leave enough spare ribbon to make the tail of the floral bow.

    • 3

      Stabilize the center of the bow with the bow tying wire. This will ensure that all the loops stay in place.

    • 4

      Spread out the loops so that the floral bow becomes more three dimensional.

    • 5

      Using scissors, cut the tail end of the bow at an angle.
