*Hand­made rib­bon bows:** To start, gath­er your mate­ri­als. You’ll need a rib­bon, scis­sors, and a flat sur­face to work on. The rib­bon’s width will deter­mine the size of your bow, so choose accord­ing­ly.

**Fin­ger weav­ing:** Begin by unrolling a rib­bon sec­tion and leav­ing a tail that will hang down. Use your thumb and index fin­ger to cre­ate a loop, ensur­ing the tail end stays in place. This loop will be the cen­ter of your bow.

**Loop­ing and twist­ing:** Con­tin­ue using your fin­gers to make loops on both sides of the cen­tral loop. As you cre­ate loops, gen­tly twist and over­lap them to form the bow’s lay­ers. You can make as many loops as you’d like, depend­ing on the full­ness you desire for your bow.

In this tuto­r­i­al, I will show you how to make an easy bow. You wrap it around your fin­gers and do pre­cise­ly what I’m doing. I’ll have this video in slow motion so you can fol­low me step by step. You wrap it around your two fin­gers and then do a criss­cross. Bring it back over and around; this will give you a two-bow effect for an easy bow you can use for any project or present. It’s straight­for­ward to do, so then you cross it over.

After you do those sim­ple steps, you might have to rewind and watch it again. Okay, I will show you again so you know how to loop it around all of your fin­gers. It does take prac­tice, and you may need to stop it and go back. As shown, you’ll tuck it under the last part and loop it around. The back will be the front part of the bow, and then it will be twist­ed back around.

Then you’ll loop it under and wrap it around, so go up and under and pull it, cre­at­ing a knot. I’m going to show you one more time. Okay, I will show you how to loop it under again so it makes a knot.

Okay, that’s after it’s tied and secured; you will take it off your fin­gers and then cut the ends. You can use a thick­er rib­bon or thin­ner rib­bon, too. On your fin­gers, you would have to take it down a lit­tle bit on your fin­ger so there is enough room, and then your bow is com­plete. It’s pret­ty straight­for­ward, and this is great for any pack­age or project you’re work­ing on or a cro­chet pat­tern.

**Secur­ing the bow:** Once you’re sat­is­fied with the size and shape of your bow, cut the rib­bon, leav­ing anoth­er tail that match­es the ini­tial tail’s length. Thread this tail through the cen­tral loop and tie a knot to secure the bow’s shape.

**Final adjust­ments:** Fluff and adjust the loops until your bow looks how you want it. You can trim the tails to your pre­ferred length and shape the loops for a pol­ished fin­ish.
