If you a beginner bow maker, I would suggest you cut your ribbon to length before making any bows. Once you become more familiar with bow making you can eliminate this step. This formula should be used to make basic boutique bows. It's always good to cut a little extra ribbon to ensure you have enough!! We recommend you use 7/8 inch ribbon to make 2 and 3 inch basic boutique hair bows and 1 1/2 inch ribbon to make 4 and 5 inch basic boutique hair bows.
Cut both colors of 1 1/2â³ ribbon to 13â³ and fold it in half. Take one ribbon (still folded in half) and fold it vertically. Cut the ribbon at a slant. You should be cutting through both layers of the ribbon. Cut your other ribbon the same way and seal the ends with a lighter. Make an x with the two ribbons and secure with a single prong clip if you want to. Stitch in and out through the center of the bow. Wrap the thread around the bow and pull tight. Put a dot of glue on the back of the bow and cover the thread with your 3/8â³ ribbon.
