Adventures in bow making
As promised, here are pictures of the bows I ended up making. The bow is called the florist’s bow if I’m not mistaken:
I learned that wired ribbon is not usually the ribbon that most instructions refer to, and despite its flexibility, it can be hard to manipulate exactly as you’d like them.
I made five such ribbons (both the bride and her mother have the philosophy of “less is more” when it comes to decor, so I’ll be lucky if all five bows get used) and I’m pretty proud of how they turned out. However, I’m still trying to decide if I’d like the bows more if the ribbon was less sheer.
For more bow instructions, including the Chrysanthemum Bow, Carnation Bow and Poinsettia bow how-tos, you must check out these instructions from the Container Store’s site.
HGTV also has some easy instructions to make some pretty bows too.
