HOW TO TIE A "FAKE" BOW

HOW TO TIE A "FAKE" BOW
I am "bow illiterate" and unable to tie a bow--that is why I love this "fake" one.

To begin, you need 2 holes, about 1/4" apart--the Stampin' Up! Double Rectangle
punch works great--if you don't have it, you can just punch 2 side-by-side holes with
a hand-held punch.

You will need about a 10" piece of ribbon (this is a little long, but easier to work with
and can be trimmed when done.


With the front side up, poke both ends of the ribbon through the holes to the back


On the back, criss cross the ribbon and fold each side of the ribbon to form a
loop and poke the loop through to the front


This is the front showing the 2 "loops"


On the back, criss cross the ribbon again, and poke the ends through the
holes to the front


Adjust and trim the ends for the look you want
