EASY.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

YES, YOU really CAN!!!

These look difficult, but with a little practice anyone can make a flower loop bow!

 

Materials:

  • Needle and thread
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon
  • Embellishment

 

Directions:

  • make layers
  • stack and adhere layers with hot glue (or sew them together)
  • put on an embellishment

 

The base ribbon layer will have the longest ribbon strips--with each layer you will decrease the length of your ribbon by about an inch. 

 

Feel free to mix up your types of ribbons.  Make as many or few layers as you like!

 

HAVE FUN and create something!!!
