BOW #1 & #2: you need 2 pieces of ribbon for each bow. for a TIDY bow... (for fancy wedding announcements and other "proper-like" cards.) Tie the longer ribbon around the shorter ribbon. pull tight. Adjust bow from the front. It will lay flat on the long ribbon.
for a WHIMSICAL bow... (like kids cards or other "fun-like" cards.) Tie the shorter piece around the longer piece. pull tight. BOW #3- Tiered Bow
you will need one wide ribbon, one slightly thinner ribbon and the same ribbon width (thinner) for the long tie around. layer the two ribbons as shown. tie the longest ribbon around the two tiers. (as in BOW #1). Pull semi-tight. Not too tight so the center of the bow is "square-like". trim the layers. The wider one slightly longer than the top layer. BOW #4 - Tailored Bow two pieces. one short and one long. make a ring with the longer piece. I used glue dots to hold it in place. Mini Glue Dots stick GREAT to Gros-grain ribbon! take shorter ribbon and wrap around the center. stick with another glue dot. trim. This is still the back view. The front is seamless. BOW #5- Pull Through Bow cardstock, hold punch and ribbon. punch two holes side by side. The wider the ribbon, the bigger the holes. pull each end through the front so the ends hang out the back. (back view) Hold one side tight feed the opposite side through the hole and out to the front. Do the same for the part of the ribbon you help tight.- feeding it through the other hole. trim the ends as desired. All BOWS FINISHED!!! For every occasion there is a BOW!
