Tie a square knot with ribbon that matches the bow ribbon.
A square knot is a knot used as the center knot of boutique style hair bows. The purpose of the knot is to both decorate the bow, giving it a more professional look, and to cover the center of the bow tied with wire or sewn. Tying a square knot with a flat piece of ribbon takes practice. It is easier to cut a longer piece of ribbon to tie the knot, and trim the tails to fit afterwards.
Instructions
1. Cut one piece of ribbon four to 6 inches long.
2. Melt the ends of the cut ribbon with the lighter to prevent fraying.
3. Fold the ribbon in half, holding the fold in your left hand and the two ends in your right hand.
4. Insert the pointer finger of your left hand into the fold to make a loop.
5. Bring the top piece of ribbon under the bottom piece and push the end of the ribbon through the loop.
6. Arrange the knot by pushing it towards the center of the ribbon and gently pull the ends.
7. Make the knot smaller by pulling the ends tighter. Make a larger knot by pulling the ends gently.
