Supplies Needed for this Bow
- Wired Ribbon of your choice
- Scissors
- Measuring tape (or you can ‘eyeball’ it like I do!)
- Stickers (optional, but oh, so cute!)
Step by Step Instructions on How to Make a Knot Bow
- Measure out the approximate length of ribbon you desire. I use about 8-10″ for my loops. Keep in mind that it needs to be long enough to accommodate tying a knot in the center.
- Make your loops. I made about 5 for my knotty bow. It’s nice to keep it to an odd number, like 3 or 5. Trim your ribbon to either include ‘tails’ or not. This is up to you.
- Flatten out your loops on the surface by pressing them all down together. Then take the ends and cross one over the other to begin your knot.
- Continue looping it through to complete your knot.
- Take each loop and ‘fluff’ it out as desired.
If you prefer a sped up version of the steps, see it here in this short 3 minute video tutorial.

Question: How do you get the second tail? It doesnt show that, just finished bow.
Make a sixth fold before knotting?
Love it!
Happy Valentines Day on Friday!
Lynn❤ A new fan!
You have to play around with it and keep the two ends of your ribbon longer than the looped sections. Twist the tails.
I hope the kids don’t see that I’ve been looking at knotty stuff on the internet. 😆
That’s hilarious!
