How To Make A Funky Bow For Christmas Projects

Step 1

Take your first 2.5" ribbon and make 8" tails and two 6" loops.

Step 2

Grab your first 1.5" ribbon and make 8" tails with two 6" loops. Situate this ribbon so that the tails lie opposite of the tails in the first layer.

Step 3

Take your 3rd ribbon and repeat the same process, offsetting the tails in the second layer.

Step 4

For your 4th layer, take your 4th ribbon and repeat the same process. Again, offset the tails in the 3rd layer.

Step 5

For the 5th layer, use the same ribbon that you used first and repeat the same process. This time, though, make the loops 5.5".

Step 6

Grab your final ribbon and repeat the same process with 5.5" loops.

Step 7

Take a cable tie and carefully wrap it around the middle of your bow as you lift the bow out of the EZ Bow Maker.

Step 8

Tighten the cable tie (not completely) and fluff out your bow so that it looks the way you want it to.

Step 9

Take another cable tie and slide it under the other cable tie on the back of the bow. Use this cable tie to attach the bow to your project.

Step 10

Choose a nice contrasting pattern from the ribbons you made the bow with. Cut it in half with your scissors. Fold the ribbon to clean up the cut edges and tie it right down the center to cover the cable tie and complete your bow.
