How do I tie a bow, please, so it stays horizontal on the page, instead of sticking up diagonally?
Thanks,
Leslie
Recently learned a new trick from someone here who has a blog....can't remember who though.
Wrap ribbon around card. Do the first cross over and under. NOW instead of making first loop, switch the ends from left to right. THEN continue. Makes a perfect, flat, horizontal bow every time for me!!
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
I am terribly, terribly bow-tying impaired. This tool from "TheCardLadies" has literally saved me. I've used it to tie all types of ribbon from 1/4" grossgrain, to the wide satin ribbon, to fancy fibers and cord. It is AWESOME!!!!!!!
Thanks for your suggestions. They really help! I got tickled because there were FIVE bow-tying videos on YouTube that showed how to tie a pull bow. Just how hard is that??!!
To tie a straight bow--anywhere--after you cross your ends and pull through (what I consider step 1 in tying your shoes even) pull the ends straight up and down. You should then use the bottom end to make your first loop and continue just tying a regular bow. Works tying a bow on your shoes,blouse or card!
Tying a horizontal bow?
