xxxtennillexxx Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 OK, I know this must seem really stupid but I cannot seem to be able to tie a decent bow! I can tie my shoes but those bows can be crazy and lopsided! I'm trying to make some using a fairly thin (1/2in.) ribbon tying it to a jar candle. They always look bad! I stopped trying the bows for a while and started just doing a double-knot and leaving a little bit of ribbon hanging. It actually doesn't look that bad but now I'm obsessed w/figuring out how to tye a good little bow! Also, do any of you know where I could get pre-made bows on the thin elastic cord? It would be the easiest thing to do! I've seen them on lotion bottles, ect. but have no idea where to get them...Thanks for any suggestions!

Kitn Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 You are not alone in the quest to tie a nice bow. I can't for the life of me tie a good looking bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I've resorted to oodles of curling ribbons because I'm bow-impaired too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barncat Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 tie your bow upside down and form the loops and tie a knot, instead of the wrap around method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for more of a variety of colors/patterns but I guess beggers can't be choosers! Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
