Beautiful bows -- they're the easiest way to finish a floral arrangement, top a birthday gift, decorate for a wedding, or add fullness to a Christmas tree. In fact, there are hundreds of ways to use bows, but did you know that there are really just four basic bow shapes? They are the Classic Bow, Floral Bow, Tie Bow, and Center Loop Bow. This handy guide to bow-making will show you, step-by-step, how easy it is to create all four basic bows from ribbon. And you'll also learn how to vary these shapes by using different ribbon widths, combining bows, or by adding an embellishment. After you discover how quick and simple it is to create professional-looking bows, you'll never want to purchase ready-made ones again!
