Friends, I recently recorded a Handmade bow Tutorial. I wanted to make sure all of my friends had an opportunity to see this simple technique. It features inexpensive floral ribbon and some string or floral wire.

Once you get the hang of making these bows, you can make them in less than 15 minutes. They add such a special touch to a gift. And it lets the recipient know how special they are to you. I believe that the art of gift wrapping has been lost and it is time that we bring it back.

Supplies Needed

The supplies are quite simple. You will need floral ribbon. It is readily available at Hobby Lobby and your local floral supply store. On Amazon the ribbon is called Poly Satin. It is $10.99 a roll and a single roll will last a long time. You will also need a good pair of scissors, a piece of sturdy cardboard, and some floral wire, string or some pipe cleaners.
