Make Simple Ribbon
Bows
Ribbon bows are adorable tied on the braids of a young girl. They are nice finishing touches on stuffed animals and dolls. You can decorate the stem of a goblet for a party or tie a bow on a dress. You can tie a scarf into a bow to dress up a plain blouse. A simple bow can be used in many different ways.
Instructions
1. Cut a 6-inch piece of ribbon for a hair braid. A 20-inch piece will work for a stuffed animal.
2. Tie a knot in the center of the ribbon piece.
3. Pull the ribbon from the spool. Pinch the ribbon 2 to 3 inches from the end between your thumb and forefinger. Make a loop and pinch it. Twist the ribbon to make a second opposing loop. Pinch and hold the second loop.
4. Tie the knotted ribbon around the middle of the bow to secure it.
5. Cut the ends of the bow to a desired length. Tie the bow to a ponytail holder or items such as stuffed animals that need decoration.
