Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!
Happy Friday!!! I hope you all enjoy your weekend. We have a busy one planned so not much crafting over the weekend:( I will be playing catch up next week!
I have been asked my several blogger buddies about my double satin bows. There really is no trick to it.....I promise! I did put together a quick tutorial on how I make them and hope it is easy for you to follow.
I use about 18"-20" of satin ribbon. I like to use satin ribbon as it seems to be the easiest for me when making these double bows. (Crinkle ribbon works great to)
Start off by making a standard bow in the middle of the 18" or 20" ribbon.
Your bow looks something like this.....make sure it's tight.
I then lay my bow on a flat surface as I continue to make another bow over the top of the original one using the remaining ribbon.
Then you pull that tight as well and I just fuss with it a little. Moving it around gently so it doesn't come apart. I try and get the top bow to lay the opposite direction from the first bow. Then trim of the end piece and voila.....easy peasy!
This is what it should look like:) Would love for you to give it a try.......can't wait to see your creations with your double bows! Have fun!
Thanks for stopping and for all your sweet comments on my bows:)
