Make a Floral Bow, continued
Go back to beginning of tutorial
More loops
Continue to loop, scrunch, and twist the ribbon, making sure the right side is always out.
|
Loops
Most floral bows have 3-5 loops per side, with each set of loops slightly larger that the previous loops.
Tip: A small bow (as used in
Northwoods Mini-Pumpkin Project shown) requires about 36" of ribbon, with three 2" loops per side.
|
|
Cut
When all the loops are complete, cut the ribbon from the bolt.
|
|
Wire
Place a length of 24 gauge wire in the center of the bow.
Tip: If you don't have wire, substitute a pipe cleaner, a long twist tie, or even another piece of ribbon or raffia.
|
|
Secure Wire
Turn your hand over so you can see the underside of the bow. Bring wires together.
|
|
Twist wire
Twist the wires tightly to keep loops and gathers in place. You're finished!
Tip: Use floral bows on wreaths, in centerpieces, in bud vases, and other home decorating projects.
