How to Make a 2-Loop Bow

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Miss Nancy and I'm an elementary school teacher and a mother of three here in Tampa, Florida. And today, we're going to learn how to make a bow. It's actually called a two loop bow. First thing we're going to need, obviously, is ribbon. We're going to use a nice, long stretch of ribbon. All the way out to your wrist and back. And then we're going to cut it. Doesn't matter if it's straight or curved, just a simple cut. Just that we have our ribbon to work with. Now we're going to tie a knot right abut in the middle. So turn it like that and pull it through so we can have a very simple knot, almost exactly in the middle. Pull it tight. Then the way we like to teach kids is "rabbit ears". One rabbit ear on each side. If you have ribbon that has pattern on one side but not the other, like this ribbon where on one side it doesn't have a pattern but on this side it does, make sure that the pattern is facing the outside. Loop one of those rabbit ears around the other, (they're bunny ears) bunny ears, pardon me, bunny ears. And pull it through the bottom like it's going through a little bunny hole. (Like his bunny friend is eating him up.) Like his bunny friend is eating him up! There's another good example. And pull it tight. Fluff it out a little bit. And that is how to make (oop, we'll just do it that side). And that is how to make a two loop bow."
