You Can Make Beautiful Bows EASY

[@auntnatalie]

She is a fantastic speaker....teacher. Explains things well. Not a bunch of chit/chat, straight to the how-to-s. Best "Big Bow" I have come across. One of the best video "people" I have heard.

[@lindamercer1736]

This is the BEST tutorial I have found on making bows. I have never found a tutorial explain the way you fold the ribbon. Really impressed with you video and I shall certainly try making bows again, as I had given up. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@debjandes6727]

Absolutely the best tutorial! This was all about the bow and so easy to follow since you can watch the whole process right before your eyes!!!! In fact, I was able to make my single-sided bow right along with the tutorial. No fast forward, no "go to my social media to see the complete version", and the camera was only on the project. BEST bow making tutorial ever!! Thank you, Maymay.

[@wendy444]

Excellent - You took your time to show us how to handle and hold the ribbon. Also, you went on to explain how you twist the ribbon when the front doesn't match the back. Showing exactly what you were doing allowed me to FINALLY make the perfect bow. Other channels don't go slow and do close ups. I really appreciate you!!!!

[@rosemaryallison4913]

Good job. Finally can make a bow. Thank you.

[@sandrasamia4917]

I'm in my 40's and have never had anyone explain how to make bows as perfect as you did! Great job!👍🏻 thank you for doing this🎄

[@kishaedwards309]

This is one of the best tutorials I’ve watched. She was so thorough and inviting. Maymay, you are an amazing teacher. If she in person is anything like she is in this video, she is one awesome lady!

[@vivianwestbrook9409]

Thanks

[@lisahupfer9501]

What a great idea using zip ties instead of pipe cleaners. TYVM

[@taram...2879]

Three years later and I've finally found a bow tutorial that I can finally follow and finally make a pretty bow. If I could give you a million dollars, you would get it. Thank you so much for this.

[@janicegouin1055]

Thank you! Great tutorial, looking to make a lantern bow and was a little apprehensive, not now!

[@Beth-1016]

This is the easiest way to make a beautiful bow! Thank you (8 years later) for such a nice tutorial ❤ oh, one extra step I added was inserting a chenille stem into the back of the bow under the zip tie before cinching down. That way I’ll have a way to easily tie it to whatever I want.

[@dmonteiro1788]

So glad I came across your video! I have had a 30" wreath that I decorated sitting on my table waiting for a bow! I will watch this again later and FINALLY finish this project! You have taken away my "bow anxiety" and my daughter will finally have her wreath to hang on her balcony :) thank you again!

[@kimcabe6275]

I agree, that this is the best tutorial on "how to make a bow" that I've ever watched!! I made my bow along with you. I was really impressed at how good mine turned out. Thank you Maymay

[@lauramaestranzi6076]

WOW!! I finally found the BEST and EASIST way to make a bow...I've been making bows all day!!

[@cathymartel9506]

I have made bows most of my life and they turn out great, but this technique is so much easier than how I’ve done it for years. Thank you so much for sharing. You are very clear in your instructions. 🎀

[@fredjack2021]

Hi sweetie very beautiful thank you so much for sharing your beautiful ideas and God bless

[@ciarapattugalan5154]

Maymay I've literally watched a dozen bow tutorials and yours is hands down the best and easiest tutorial! Thank you 3x!!

[@merleowens3105]

This was so great,thank you so much I can't wait to start and finish my project. I want to make ribbons for my church doors. You made it look sooo easy...

[@ellef4812]

I was just about to comment the same thing! Short video too that is right to the point. I personally am not going to watch a 30 min video on how to make an easy DIY bow...then why does it need to be 30 minutes?!? 😆 I actually watched this one last year and needed to be refreshed (only made a couple bows last Christmas). So glad I remembered who did this simple video and found it quickly.

[@nancys9588]

[@kimfox8109]

Thank you so much. I'm unemployed this year and have lots of time in my hands to really decorate this Christmas and have always wanted to learn how to make bows. My momma tried to teach me but i could never get the hang of it to now, thanks to your video. Thank you so much and God bless ❤

[@annedlugi9524]

Just love this lady ! She makes it slow and explains every step 😊

[@karenjohnson442]

I have looked at so many bow making videos but this by far was not only the easiest to make but her explanation was excellent, straight to the point with the necessary details!

[@nilly-rosilly3347]

OMG! Your tutorial is awesome! I was unable to make a simple little bow, let alone a multi-loop bow! You have saved my life! My bow-making life, that is! I'm forever grateful to you! Thank you so very, very, much!!! ❤️

[@cvaz62]

This is BRILLIANT!!! I will try this for christmas

[@angiemiranda7769]

Oh wow! I cannot thank you enough for doing this tutorial! It’s all about the zip tie! I’m going out today to purchase zip ties! Oh, and that first loop! You did an amazing job teaching me how to correct my every struggle! Thank you, Thank you!!😊💜🤗

[@Daisycalderon1489]

I never comment on KZbin. I have searched and searched on tutorials on how to make bows. I’m so happy I came across yours. I have now made 3 perfect bows with out any problem. I have even shared your video with friends. You made it so easy! Thank you!! I feel like I can now make any type of wreath and add a bow no problem.

[@previouscat5762]

Seriously, this is the best bow tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your tips and tricks.

[@merrileejohnson6031]

Lovely! Thank you 😊 !

[@ilovebeingamama]

May May, let me start off by saying that I am not crafty nor creative. I do not enjoy creating things; I much prefer seeing something already made, falling in love with it and purchasing it. Having said that, I was in a pinch at my parents' house 400+ miles from my house where I would normally call upon my crafty and creative friends to whip up a bow for me. Your video was so AH-MAZING and allowed even ME to create the most magnificent burlap bow for a monogram I purchased for my parents' front door. I was so impressed with myself and I have YOU to thank! The ONLY thing I would add to your video would be to show and describe exactly how you turn and twist the loops to make the bow full and circular. I rewatched your video and played very close attention to your hands. It comes naturally to you but not to me, but I figured it out and feel my bow would definitely get your blessing. 😁 Thank you again! 😘 Lastly, I wanted to follow you on Instagram, but I don't think your link above is working. 😔 I will search for you.

[@myrnahartley8710]

thanks for taking the fear out of making bows. You were so generous to share your time and give us such great direction. I love your color choices and your bows.

Thanks for a great bow tutorial, you are the best!!

[@jonm2416]

Awsome Mama! As a woodworking and crafting man, I thought I had this down pat. But you showed me ways to simplify it that I didn't know! Thanks! 👍

[@dl2623]

I've seen many tutorials and this is hands down, THE BEST!

[@lorelaiwalcott3214]

Totally agree.

[@ChiquisJ70]

💯 agree!!

[@jackiesplanthaven]

Ditto!

[@evelynbeadling591]

Totally Agree with You👍👍

[@Nettledust]

Just made one with one sided ribbon - this is absolutely the best and easiest way ever! I have never, ever been able to make ribbons for wreaths and now, well, I can and they look super-complicated! Thank you for your excellent tutorial! ❤❤❤

[@ellenmcgrath9546]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for someone that I can finally understand how to make a pretty how. I have been struggling with this for a long time.

[@ginalynn3901]

Thank you for posting this. Bows were so hard for me and you make it look so easy. Glad I found you.

[@Holmanmommy]

Best tutorial ever! I’m OCD, have common sense and have been doing every arts and crafts known to man for years but this large bow thing was a pain in the neck with all of the twisting and bunching and bulking up, as instructed in practically every other video. This one was simple and to the point and my first try looked amazing! You’re a good orator as well, easy on the ears!

[@jresh51]

THIS is the BEST bow-making video EVER! Thank you, Maymay! Who knew it was so easy!

[@Shanbify]

I almost cried. Can’t believe I made this bow. Though I didn’t have any zip ties, I did use the last 6 inches to tie around the center super tight and that did the trick. I used burlap ribbon with wire. So pretty. Thank you for making this possible!

[@suebendel5940]

After watching MANY videos to make bows for my fence posts, yours is by far the easiest and most effective. You sound like someone I could be friends with! Very warm and engaging. Thanks for your good work!!

[@deborahfrench757]

Great video - thank you! I have been watching videos to learn this process and yours is the BEST!! Clear voice (easy to listen to) with concise clear directions. I will search but I hope you have more videos!! Thanks so much.

[@yomilalgro]

OMG MayMay you did it again! you are an amazing teacher!

TFS these videos have got me excited about crafting again.Something I haven't done in years.THANKYOU AGAIN.LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT TUTORIAL....

[@JesusPulledMeThrough]

Yes! I want to match your excitement! I'm happy for you. Getting into crafting, especially during this change of seasons is so very exciting. It's lovely to get tutorials from MayMay. But more than anything, it's great to get inspiration. And your comment says to me that you're inspired! Her clear instructions and cheery attitude make that possible. Happy crafting!
