Lol, I haven't seen any cocktail ribbon yet, but I did find some skull ribbon, and this site has some tips on making a single loop bow.

I've attempted to make a few double looped bows, and this guide that hubby made really helps, I just took a bow I liked and put nails where the loops were, and he put screw toggle bolts where the nails were. I just wrap ribbon around the bolts, and this is the only way I can get the loops even. I pin the center, and take the ribbon off the guide and sew it. The other trick, if you like a stiff bow, is to use a fabric stiffener like "Stiffen Stuff" and put something in the loops until dry, I use large glue sticks. I know you're a great seamstress, so you may not need these tricks.
