HOW TO MAKE A BOW TUTORIAL - BEST WAY EVER! ~ For Wreaths, Swags, Christmas Tree, Weddings & More

[@lilianarsobczak3640]

I tried your ribbon with small pieces of ribbons. Instead of pulling the loops from the outside I started pulling them from the inside and it turn out fabulous. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!

[@eleonorka33]

Thank you! Finally someone showed the easy way to make a bow!

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Thank you! Tfw!

[@judysouzaw2293]

I’m with you- just eyeball instead of measuring. More fun and each bow is a surprise! Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Thanks Judy! Tfw😘💕

[@joshuazardin9822]

I'm so glad that I found this I love how real you are and the fact that you can hear your child in the background, it makes me feel a lot less stressed out about trying to actually accomplish something with my baby running around. It really just brings it back to home love this channel!

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Oh thank you! Love your comment! You can do it! Tfw!

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

Best tutorial with 2 ribbons- one ribbon even having the pattern on just one side! I think you got jumbled up at the end when you were pulling “front, back, front, back...” I’m pretty sure when you have two different ribbons, you need to pull ..”front, front, back, back, front, front, back, back..” I think that will automatically give you an alternating loop pattern. Thx so much for your video!!!

[@deborah9775]

I had taken a florist course to cover the basics yrs. ago. This technique is unique. With the way my arthritis has limited my ability to do traditional bows that you twist & pinch etc. this is a diff. option to try. Thx for sharing. Happy Holidays

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Wonderful, I hope this helps, Deborah! Happy Holidays! Thank you for watching

[@Marullitos13]

Thank you so much. I do think and I am not an expert, perhaps the problem with long loops happened when you did the cut, I think you went too deep, but I enjoy the video as I am working on my bow myself. Thanks for your time and as somebody else has mentioned you have a very soothing voice, blessing!

[@terrifaircloth7620]

Thank you for making it big enough for me to see the full process its beautiful and I appreciate the time and video!❄️😊

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Thank you Terri! tfw

[@theresaholden7580]

Very interesting! I’ve been a floral designer for over 30 years and I’ve never made a bow like this. You’re bow turned out great! Your work table and colors are beautiful.

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Thanks so much Theresa! What a beautiful compliment! Thank you for watching!

[@jamielandis4606]

I used to do this by cutting v shapes instead of slits. The key is getting that section separated up or under the wired part. The ends were dove tailed to finish.

[@janetgramlich9746]

I am going to be making a lot of Christmas bows for all my packages this year, thanks to you! A few years ago I bought a Bow Dabber from Pat Catan's and it is collecting dust in the closet because I just can't get co-ordinated with it. Making my own bows is something that has always intimidated me and I've wanted to learn. Thanks to your video I have conquered my fear of bow making.

[@Mylifefullofhope]

That would be so cute and nice! I haven't made a bow for my presents as of yet. Thank you for watching!

[@RVBarndominium]

I just made some bows with your instructions. I loved how you made real life comments throughout the video...it felt true and not just rehearsed..thank you! Love ur background too😍

[@jenay3517]

LOVE IT. Originally I passed the video up cause it was kinda long but after failing at making the bow a different way I came back to this. Its absolutely beautiful and so easy. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@karixx5]

Love this video- I watched a dozen trying to fold a nice bow with wired ribbon. Yours was nicely explained- and easy to do. Love your accent and voice as well. Super cute! Great job ❤️

[@glennamanos382]

Love your bow and the ribbon. The cut is called Dove tail .

[@annegreenlee1655]

I actually have the black and red buffalo check roll of ribbon. I'm going to try it with just that one ribbon as that's the only roll I have. Going to try and make it a bit smaller as we have a slim tree. Wish me luck!

[@danahernandez4709]

Im glad this popped up on my feed. I just bought some snowman ribbon from Costco and I’ve never made a bow before. I cant wait to try your technique. Thanks for sharing.

[@vangaay]

Love this video. This is one of the best out there. I have come back to it for the last few years to make my Christmas bows.

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Awww thank you!! TFW!

[@ItsSimonee]

Oh my goodness so helpful!!! i was so stressed out trying to figure out how to make a bow, but I did it, and I conquered it, and now I just made for the first time my Christmas wreath, so proud of myself I didn’t give up lol I wish I could show you lol thank you so much for your tutorial so helpful!

[@mariecarty2422]

It’s summertime 2022 but I still wanted to thank you…you explained so well and took your time. Hope my 4th of July bow comes out as nice as your Christmas bow🎊🎉🎉🎉

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Glad it was helpful! I love it Marie! I know that it is beautiful! Be blessed!

[@virgoj88]

That is such a gorgeous bow and looks a lot easier to make. I will try a smaller version of this bow

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Thank you! I need to try a smaller version myself. I was just thinking that for my lanterns. Thanks for watching!

[@ThatDiygirls]

Thank you for this! I like how your slow and explain what your doing.

[@vangaay]

This video was so helpful last year when I made bows for my Christmas tree. I had to come back this year for a refresher. 🙂

[@heidim6468]

Here’s a little help that I learned at an early age of making bows cut in the middle at an angle and then it’s easier to twist.

[@tiffanyempowers]

if you knew how much ribbon I have destroyed you would ban me from buying any more! As a lefty too, I found your video to be easy and awesome to follow! I just did this and it is amazingly beautiful! I am now a fan! Thank you for sharing this video...I will now, buy ribbon again!

[@joanpharo1140]

Merry Blessed Christmas ❤️

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Merry Christmas Joan! Have a blessed holiday season!

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

I already said this is the best tutorial I’ve seen- and this is coming from a person whose brain is 100% analytical- meaning I need all the help I can get when it comes to anything remotely creative. The only thing I’d change is instead of using floral wire to hold the middle together- like she shows around the 14:40 mark, I’d use a zip tie! You can get it way tighter. It holds better, and you just need to cut off the end.

[@Mylifefullofhope]

Thank you! Yes I heard so many people suggest the zip ties. I think it a great idea! Maybe one day I will make a new one with the zip ties. Tfw!

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

I folded 15. You can fold between 12-15 depending on how much ribbon you have and how large you want your bow. With Dollar Tree ribbon you can’t fold a lot of times. Thanks for watching Sis!
