Instructions

    • 1

      Decide which color bows you will be using, and purchase that color ribbon. A thinner ribbon is suggested, because ribbon that is too thick is difficult to work with. Choose one that is about 1/2 inch wide or less.

    • 2

      Cut the ribbon into 3-inch pieces. The length of your cut ribbon will determine the size of your bows, but in most cases 3 inches is a good number.

    • 3

      Lay one of your cut ribbon pieces out in front of you, horizontally.

    • 4

      Pick up each of the ends and cross them over each other. Use the example here as a guide.

    • 5

      Wrap the rubber band through the center of the bow, vertically. This is how the bow will take on its shape.

    • 6

      Make any necessary adjustments to your bow, and it is already for your pet. Attach the bow to your pet's head using a second rubber band to secure it.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can add embellishments to your pet bow by attaching beads or other items with hot glue.
