Tutorial: How To Make Your Own Holiday Bow

Hello crafters!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year and there are never enough decorations!  So a few days ago, I started wondering "How can I make my own holiday bow?"

For my first time ever making a bow, it turned out really well.  I decided, why not share a tutorial for anyone else trying to learn how to make quick, simple & easy holiday bows?  So here it goes!

                                                  ->DIY Christmas Bow Tutorial<-

You'll need:
A gold ribbon (you can change the color ribbon to adjust what color bow that you're making)
A pipe cleaner (I used gold but you can try whatever works for you!
Scissors

1.

First, I cut the ribbon basically in half.  To start off making the bow, I just folded the ribbon almost perfectly in half, and rubbed it down to keep it folded.

2.

Next, I just folded both sides, and held them in the middle making an almost oval shape.  Then, I pressed down in the middle.

3.

After that, I placed the pipe cleaner on top of the bow and slightly wrapped it around. I twisted the gold pipe cleaner so it wouldn't come loose.

4.

                                                      Then, I fluffed the bow.

5.

After that, I placed the other piece of gold ribbon with one end of the pipe cleaner under it, and the other end on top.  I twisted one end of the gold pipe cleaner clockwise, and twisted the other counter clockwise.

6.

Finally, I cut off the extra leftover parts of the pipe cleaner and trimmed the ends of the beautiful bow!

Wishing you all a super fun time decorating!  I hope you liked this tutorial!
