Lovely tutorial!

May I ask what was the little hand rolly item you used to attach the ribbon to the card?

@Sitauset  that is called a SNAIL and you can get it at Stampin' UP! or any craft store!

Hi Alex, thanks for your question!I hope I can answer it for you here. The reason I tighten and retighten the bow is so I get a very tight and neat know in the center. This is what makes the bow "ears" really puff up. If you do not like that particular effect then, by all means just tie it like you were tying a shoe lace. The "ears" would then be more floppy like a shoe lace ears are! Enjoy! ~Donna

I just LOVE it, and thanks for showing how you need to work it out to get it just right, I would also like to add that don't you need to use ribbon that is the exact same on both sides? I hate that when you tie a bow and the back side shows up in all the wrong places and you have both the front and the back showing so need to have that same color on both sides! I love your bow! Thanks for sharing! I'll be coming back so I can practice it a few times! Louella

Thank you for this tutorial and encouragement. I was the one always saying "I can't make a bow!!" but when I followed your instructions and kept playing with it, it came out rather nicely. Thanks again.
