Things You'll Need:
- Roll of 9-inch wide organza
- Paddle of thin craft wire or floral wire
- Pew clips (optional)
- Scissors

Step 1
Measure a strip of organza ribbon so it is about two and half to three and a half yards long. The exact length of the strip will depend on how big you want the wedding pew bow to be. Cut the first few strips in differing lengths to make bows. Check how the bow size and length will work with the pews. Decide on a standard length for making the wedding bows for the pews.
-
Step 2
Tie the wedding bows for the pews by finding the center of the strip of organza. Make a large loop between your forefinger and thumb. It is natural to use your dominant hand for the first loop. Grasp the middle of the other side of the organza ribbon and loop it around the first loop, just like you are tying a pair of shoes. Use your forefinger to insert the organza back through the loop you just created. Pull it through with the fingers you used to make the first loop.

Step 3
Adjust the shape and size of the wedding bow by gently pulling on each strip of organza ribbon remaining, the tails. Fiddle with both ends until the wedding bow looks right.
-
Step 4
Cut another piece of organza ribbon that is the same length as the first. Wrap the second piece of organza around the front of the wedding bow where it is tied. Tie the second piece in the back. This will create a more seamless look the wedding bow for the pew. It also adds extra length and doubles the flowing tail of the wedding bow for the pews.

Step 5
Place a transparent pew clip over the ribbon. Secure the pew clip with a small piece of craft or floral wire. Attaching the pew clip ahead of time will make decorating with the wedding bows go faster on the big day.
