Tying ribbon to make a bow that actually looks “good” can be tricky
sometimes. I’ve shown my stamp clubs several different techniques, but I’m
always on the look-out for something new! I ran across this ribbon fold that is
so simple and results in a wonderful look-give it a try and send me a picture
of your project! Leave me a comment on how it worked for you!
(You can change out the front embellishment and get a totally
different look.)
Step One: Begin with a 4" piece of ribbon (any type) Here
I used a piece of organdy. Fold it in half holding the two raw ends up and
letting the folded loop fall to the bottom.
Step Two: Fold the two raw ends toward you about 1/4" in
depth and bout 2 times.
Step Three: This is the trickiest part of this faux ribbon
fold. Using two hands makes it much easier to do. Holding the folded raw ends
in one hand use the other to bring the loop end up and split in half. You will
be opening it up onto itself and then folding the top down onto the split.
*Note: Do not let go of the folded raw ends, you will loose the whole fold.
Step Four: Poke a brad, eyelet or other embellishment through
the ribbon centered in the raw edge fold section. This will hold the whole
thing together.
