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.
Continue making loops, twisting the ribbon and alternating sides, until you have at least 8 loops, or enough to make a base for the big bow. Hold the center of the bow between your thumb and index finger, with your thumb on top of the bow.old the ribbon where you want the bow to start. You may want to leave some extra ribbon at the end of the bow for a tail. Make a loop in the ribbon that's about half the size that you want the finished bow. Pinch the loop with your fingers to hold it together.
