Put the ribbon on the corc.
Place tiny dots of glue on the ribbon.
I like this Planatol Glue, when I work with paper or fabric. DON'T use the "normal" Aleene's tacky glue. I like it very much, but it turns yellow! On lighter ribbons it could be seen. But Aleene's Thick Designer Glue would work fine.
Fold a loop over the needle...
and press it firmly on the ground.
Continue the same way, but make sure, that you shift the ribbon around while putting one layer over the other.
Before you place the last loop - cut the ribbon and turn it inside with a tweezer.
Firmly press it down.
Pass the critical control of the chief supervisor...
Unfortunately I used a stronger ribbon, because my silk ribbons are so small, that it would have been difficult to take photos. These bows look much nicer and fluffier with silk ribbons!You find the tutorial for bow making tools here (corc) and here (wood).
Thank you for the tutorial, I am a fumble-fingers even with full size bows so this will be really helpful!

I use the same technique, only my base is an old-fashioned, rectangle-shaped eraser I stole from a grand child's pencil box. I had to take a small slice off one end, and used that part to add depth to the eraser, so my pin sticking up would be the right height and could be used to measure the ribbon for loops.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the glue. I have been using the Tacky glue with no problems, so far, but all of my bows so far have been red or green.
