To make a spring bow: 1. Make progressively larger circles with ribbon until desired size is reached. 2. Pin the circles at the bottom to hold the shape. 3. Tie thread to secure the bow and attach it to a package. To make a ribbon curling: 1. Tie three colors of ribbon around a package with long ends. 2. Continue tying lengths of each color ribbon and curl the ribbons gently with scissors. To make a flat loop bow: 1. Make progressively larger loops of ribbon on top of each other until the desired size is reached. 2. Hold the bow together and tie in the center to secure.

1. SPRING BOW
1. Make a fairly small circle for the inside
loop. Holding where the ribbon overlaps
continue making progressively longer
circles.

2. 2. When the desired size is reached, stick a
straight pin through all the layers at the
bottom to hold the circles in place.
3. Tie with the thread to secure the bow,
leaving enough thread to tape or tie the
bow to your package.

3. RIBBON CURLING
1. Choose three colors of thin strips of
ribbons which match with your gift wrap.
Tie one ribbon around parcel in the usual
way, crossing it underneath the parcel and
knotting it tightly on top, leaving long ends.
Tie a length of different colored ribbon to
the center point; do the same with a third
color.

4. • 2. Continue tying on lengths of ribbon,
ending up with two lengths, (that is, four
ends) of each color. Tie the central knots
tightly to keep them as small as possible.
Full a ribbon length gently along the open
blade of pair of scissors, to make this curl
into ringlets. Repeat with each length until
this are as curly as desired.

5. FLAT LOOP BOW
1. Make a loop, keeping the ribbon away
from you and bringing it up and back it to
the center.

6. 2. Continue making progressively larger
loops, one on the top of the other, until the
desired size reached.
3. Holding the bow together tie at the center
with thread or wire to secure. Tie the loop
bow to your package.

7. BASIC LOOP BOW
1. Make a loop of the desired size for your
finish bow.
2. Holding the center between thumb and
four finger, continue making loops in the
same direction, until you have about
eight loops.

8. 3. On each side of the center cut a small “v”
and then secure with wire or thread.
4. Holding at the center once again spread a
loop apart.
