tie them with a thread.

That was simple. Maybe now I can make a boutique bow and with layers.

[LCOB]

kind of how i do mine too

[claycourtney]

Thanks for these instructions. Now I can give this a try.

[StitchezUtl]

:confused1:

[TheCraftyMe]

I pinch the center tight before tieing them. Even if the loops are wacky, i adjust the ribbon until they are even.:girly:

[hairproductjunkie]

Vanitha, in the next to the last picture, how many folds/peaks did you make? I'm like StitchezUtl--I always get stuck on this part!

[jen]

Thanks so much i was going through all my files trying to find instructions for this!

[btrfly916]

I still can't get it......

[tatortot]

I think it is cool to see the different ways people make these.

[Karyn]

That is how I make mine, but they don't always turn out great with the thinner ribbon.

[StitchezUtl]

i still havent gotten it either i am going to have to buy a gator clip just so i can get the middle right

[Didee54]

Thanks for the instructions.

[Idahomommyof4]

I definitely need to learn this so I can do layered bows! Thanks for the instructions!!

[3sweetpeas]

That is so much easier than trying to fold it and holding it

[madeline22630]

Thanks for the tut...now practice, practice, PRACTICE!

[Chrissiemags]

Thanks for the close up pics, they help ALOT!! I still can't get the pinch right for some reason when I get to that part I screw it up, lose grip on the bow and the whole darn thing comes apart...UGH:banghead:

[crystallynn316]

i always have a had time getting the loops even, there is always at least one uneven loop, so a always give up on them. oneday i'll have to sit there and see how long it will take for me to get them even.

[JakeGiginLolasMommy]

I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the instructions!

[katmiller79]

TFS I m having trouble w/ this fold too!

[Lauren]

You make it look so easy!

[Susan]

i have tried and tried but after i get the folds down i cant get the tie in the middle if that makes sense. i made one today out of the wide ribbon and instead of mushing it down in the middle and putting ribbon around it i just sewed it like that and ive take a flower and put it in the middle. looks really pretty. lol

[scottswiffy]

Thats simillar to how I make the loopy bows I put around my bows when I do layered bows. I'm going to try to make a boutiqute bow out of it!!! I have a hard time making them

[firedancer201]

Ok, I have searched HIGH and LOW for a tut that I can understand and actually get. THIS is the one that did it. I just made the perfect bow!! You have no idea how happy I am!

[treefrogggin]

Great pics. Love making this bow!

[ArmyWife2a63B]

thanks this looks easy enough

[ammperry2]

Thank you so much for the information!

[BabyCakesNLollysMum]

thanks for the tute! I hope I can mines to look like that! they are sooo cute! But I always messs up..oh well I will get it one day..

[ghandte]

I cant do this fold either. I either run out of my precut ribbon or my loops are not the same. ;(

[dnekolny]

What is the best width ribbon to try this fold with?

I can't wait to try it tonight!
