Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Nancy Hoffmann-Allison with Allison's Events in Austin, Texas and we are full service wedding coordinating and planning company and do all types of events and weddings all over Austin and, and the surrounding communities. Today with me is Michael Akila with Floral Renaissance here in Austin. He's a floral designer and he's demonstrating how to make pew bows. And the fabric that he's using is a shimmering sheer; this is available at most any floral design shop or floral warehouse; hobby shop such as Michael's or Hobby Lobby and he is putting together this bow right now. Alright, he's grabbing the fabric and he's making loops and, and he's holding each loop in his hand, he's making another loop and grabbing and holding and he twist just a little bit and making the next loop and bringing the loop around. And then this piece right here, what he's left a little loop open so he can pull the fabric through just like this. As you can see how he's pulled it through the loop; he's still holding all of these together with his hand and now he's going to tie and tighten it down and there is your bow. Now this particular bow has been made with shimmering sheer fabric. This is the package. You can buy it at any hobby store. You can make your bows out of any kind of ribbon. This is a fabric ribbon. It's not as stiff as of the other ribbon; it's going to be a more relaxed bow; comes in any color. These are satin ribbons. As you can see, you get a little more fluff to the bow when you use the satin ribbons and this a sheer that's been added for color in depth. So these ribbons can all be placed or these bows can be placed most anywhere to decorate for your wedding."
