How to Make a Bow for Wreaths, Weddings, Swags, Garlands, Christmas Trees and More DIY Easy Quick

Hi Everyone, In this video I show you how to tie a beautiful bow. You will need some ribbon with wire. I like to use the 2.5 inch width ribbon. You will also need scissors, a ruler and some floral wire or a pipe cleaner to make this bow. Thank you for watching. God Bless You
Please subscribe to my channel. If you make this bow or any of my other diys; I would love to see a picture of it. Tag me on Instagram ‪@KeepingitSimpleCrafts‬

I’m so happy the algorithm suggested this video to me. This is by far the simplest way to make a beautiful bow. All the twisting is simple and hard at the same time. Thank you for a great tutorial!

This is the easiest bow tutorial and my most successful one!! Thank you for making this simple. I only used 7 strips (because I ran out of ribbon), but I bet with 11 it would've been even prettier!

[@darlenejackson8499]

My favorite holiday of the year is Christmas, but I like fall, 🍁 with all the festivals, the crispness of the air, and ending with a nicely cooked ham and 🦃turkey with all the fixings!!!

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

I do like turkey and dressing 😊 All of our festivals have been canceled sadly.🍂 This week we are normally at the county fair. I am missing it.

[@darlenejackson8499]

I miss those days when me and my family would go to our County fair at the middle of April, my kids showed their steers, and I sometimes would make a craft to show in the adult division...but those days have passed, kids grow up, and they now have kids of their own, but those memories are the best ones I have!!!

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Kids grow up too fast!!! It sounds like wonderful memories ❤️❤️❤️

[@patgodwin8319]

[@tracey1782]

Great video! New subscriber from today. I have a smaller swag this year on my door but would like to add a bow. Is it easy to make a smaller bow for it?

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Thank you ❤️ You could make smaller loops if you need to 🎄

[@heidi.mccarthy5524]

Thank you for the tutorial!! If you wanted to do long tails would you do one or two sets of ribbon longer?

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Heidi .McCarthy Hi❤️ The easiest way for me to add tails is to cut the ribbon at 24 inches (if you want 12 inch tails) and add the strips of ribbon to the bottom of the bow. I use the same wire and twist the wire around the tails. Let me know if that makes sense.😊

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Another way to add long tails is to cut the ribbon longer (36 inches or so ) and only fold the ribbon down to six inches to make a loop. Don’t fold ribbon in half. Start at top of strip, fold over to make 6 inch loop. Then the other 12 inches is below your fingers. Continue the same process until you have the bow the size you want. Make sure when you are making your loops that you leave an inch or two of ribbon below your finger of ribbon so that when you wire it the loop will not pull out. Add the wire above your thumb. Spread out tails and fluff the loops and you have a beautiful bow with tails. I have several bow tutorials. I have a bow tutorial playlist. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@chanelcross705]

So beautiful! Can this type of bow be made with 4 different ribbons?

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

You could use different colors of ribbon for this bow. Thank you

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

Mary Jane Finn 🎄❤️🎄

[@roger12393]

If you want to put on longer tails would that ribbon go on first or last?

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

After you have your bow made, you can always take a strip(s) of ribbon and fold them in half. Then twist them into the pipe cleaner. Let me know if that makes sense.

[@juliemartin7450]

Christmas

[@cyndratidwell4318]

Do you fan the tails so they are around the bow?

[@KeepingitSimpleCrafts]

This one doesn’t have tails. I will add the link for one that has tails. I also added a bow tutorial yesterday that has a bow that is great for a tree topper and the other one looks cute on gifts. Click the link to watch the one with tails❤️kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6CpmYibd9p3r6s

[@patriciarodriguez3863]

U make it look soo beautiful and easy lol unfortunately I am trying it right now but cause I have both arthritis and carpal tunnel in my hands it’s hard to hold all of it in my hands while making more loops it is making it hurts so much and it did not come out right lol I tried thank u for ur video though
