How to make 2 types of Loopy Bows

  Hello everyone. Today  is the last day of April and we are going into May. In May we have Cinco De Mayo, Mother's Day, and Memorial Day. We are going to make a bow for Mother's Day today. This bow can also be for decorating or for hair use. You can use this bow and attach it to your Mother's Day present. Now lets get started!

Materials:

• ribbon
• floral wire or pipe cleaners
• scissors

 

Making a graduated loopy bow. 1.Make a loop leaving the tail the desired length.  2. Continue making loops gradually increasing the size of the loops until the bow is full and you have enough ribbon left over to make the remaining tail.  3. Secure the center of the bow with ribbon or floral wire.   4. Fan out the loops. 5. Cut the tails at an angle or in points to finish off the look of the bow.  I got this information from:http://www.save-on-crafts.com/howtomakloop.html
