Get a spool and that way you can make the bow as big as you like.
You should see a loop on either side of your hand holding the ribbon. The loops will look like a figure 8 or infinity symbol.
Make at least 4 loops on each side of your hand.
When starting out, leave your ribbon a little longer. It will be easier to practice with.
You should end up holding the ribbon with two loops towards the top and one larger loop at the bottom’s center.
If you’re making a bow to wrap a box, cross the top left loop over the right and do a half-knot. This will keep it in place on the box. [14] X Research source
Don’t let the ribbon get twisted or bunched as you knot the loops.
Make sure both your loops are the same size. If not, pull to adjust them. You can also trim the bow’s tails by cutting a little chevron out of the ends.
Use caution when cutting with scissors.
