Thanks for posting this! I've been wondering how to make my own bows!

No problem... But the one's in the video are slightly larger... Lessen the ribbons by 1/2 in.

What a great demonstration, it seems so much easier to watch how it's done, than to read how it's done. I can't believe you could keep a straight face with your brother trying to make you laugh. You got the makings of a professional!

I'm definitely going to keep this thread in my favorites folder, so many people have asked this question.

Oh it looks like she took the video down, too bad. It really depends if you are making double or single loops, or just a simple puppy bow. This link has some good instructions for one type of bow. Hair Bow Instructions You can even practice on a stip of paper, looping it as many times as you want, and measuring the paper. As I recall a puppy bow was no more than 4 inches and a double bow was about 8. Ribbon that is 5/8 of an inch in width is a good size for an adult bow. Here's another thread on YT with different instructions and links. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...make-bows.html
