Making your own bows allows you to customize them with your favorite colors and patterns.
Our technique is easy enough for beginners and works for all kinds of ribbons.
If this is your first time making an intricate bow, we recommend starting with a wire-edged ribbon.

The wiring will allow you to style the bow’s loops, easily hiding any imperfections.
Continue winding the ribbon around, forming at least eight circles.
Leave the strings hanging; they’ll be hidden by the loops later.

Pull out the next innermost loop, and twist it to the left.
Continue in this way until all loops on one side have been twisted.
Repeat for the other side of the bow.

Adjust the Loops
Arrange the loops as needed to finish the bow.
If you used a wire-rimmed ribbon, the loops should stay in place as you style them.
