Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Make a loop with the ribbon. The best size of ribbon to use is probably a half inch, but you can use bigger or smaller. Be careful not to overpower the flowers with too much ribbon however. Make loops 3 inches in size.
Step2
Hold the loop in place using your thumb and forefinger. As you continue making loops, one end of the ribbon will finish on top, while the other will be on the bottom.
Step3
Continue looping the ribbon at about the same lengths until you have four loops of ribbon on both side of the flowers. This is what makes it a four-faced bow.
Step4
Cut one more short length of ribbon to serve as the faux-tails or ends of the bow, when the actual ends are secured tightly. This is because the true ends never fall in an attractive way. Cut the ends at a 45-degree angle to prevent fraying.
Step5
Secure the bow in place using the floral wire, twisting it tightly around the center of the bow where your fingers were holding.
Step6
Fluff the bow to make sure the loops are full and not flat. Attach the bow to the pre-arranged flowers using the floral wire.
