Question How to tie a ribbon

Can anyone give ideas on how to tie a perfert bow or ribbon? and what type of adhesive you are using to glue your ribbons down on your cards. Specificially the smaller ribbons. Thanks.

I use the Brownie knot for all my bows...left over right and under then right over left and under. Don't pull the tail of the ribbon all the way through on the last part. This will form the first loop and then, while the knot is still loose, pull the other end back through the loose knot forming the second loop. Pull tight and adjust size of loops. To adhere the bows, I sometimes punch two small holes very close together and thread the ribbon through and then make my bows.

Make 2 Bunny ears and tie them together. That's how I do it and always get pretty bows!

I never could learn to do it with one loop!

I use tiny Glue dots for adhesive and they work great!!

I'd have to say go to:http://www.veronicaskreations.blogspot.com (of course it has nothing to do with 'that's my daughter').
