Video Tutorial – Tie a Simple Bow with Doublesided Ribbon

by 50 comments

Okay, I may be getting used to this video stuff now.  I spent the day running errands and the entire evening baking goodies for my family.  Two quiches and one pineapple upside down cake later I sat down to decide what to post for Thursday.  It was so much easier for me to make a video and upload than the drag the recesses of  my lethargic brain for a card.  So I have the next in the How to Tie a Bow series.  This one will require Double Sided Ribbon – it doesn’t work well with single sided ribbon because the wrong side will show – I’ll do another video showing how to use single sided ribbon.  At any rate this is very short (I’ve learned!!)

Thank you for all the kind comments this week!   I’m very blessed to have such a wonderful group to check in with me when they can.

    I don’t know how you do this day after day but I am grateful that you do. I would never have guessed your technique of sliding the ribbon through the bow. Perfect! Where did you find the tweezers you used? Thank you for teaching us so much.ReplyCancel

    Becca-Thanks for the video. I’m bow illiterate, that’s why I always knot! I’ll have to show my Mom, she has bow trouble too!

    Thanks for taking the time to show us!

    Becca, you are so clever! I love the idea of slipping a piece of ribbon through the bow to attach the bow to the card. Everytime I attempt to tie a bow onto the card the ribbon twists and turns and my “tunnel” goes awry! Your hands are so beautiful and graceful. You are truly the “Amazing Paper Grace”

    Becky,

    Seem not to be able to view your videos. Is there any way you could download to a DVD and I could get the DVD from you. Just a thought.

    P.S. Don’t even understand how I got to this comment – purely by accident.ReplyCancel

  • Shirley LeeOctober 30, 2008 - 10:09 am

    Great tutorial. Your bows always look so perfect. You use a different method than what I use, and I will try yours today. Love the idea of adding the length of ribbon behind the bow. Love your blog and your creativity.

    Becca,
    thanks so much for sharing your tips! I’m with Joan about it’s so much easier seeing it than just reading about it or seeing step by step pictures. You do beautiful work! I’m so glad I found you.

    Thanks for sharing your tips! I would’ve never thought to do two separate pieces, lol! It’s so much easier to understand it with your videos!

    What is the low tack stuff you used on the back of the cs that let you take the white piece on and off of the base so easily?ReplyCancel

  • BarbOctober 30, 2008 - 12:22 pm

    Good evening, Becca – a great tutorial. I admire the use of a separate piece of ribbon on which to thread the bow – I must try that idea – it’s makes such a perfectly straight bow – thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas and techniques.ReplyCancel

    My downline told me about your fabulous website yesterday. I just finished looking at your last Oct. Archive card and thought that I hoped you had a tutorial on how to tie a bow. I hit “home” and there it was!! God is good!!! I have always tied knots on my cards because my bows are so lousy. But I was able to do this!! And both tails came out of the bottom of the bow! Thanks, Becca.ReplyCancel

  • Sherry107October 30, 2008 - 5:35 pm

    Awesome as usual!! I am so inspired by your work!! And I have (successfully!) tried the knot from your first great video!!!
    Do you have any suggestions for mailing these beautiful cards?? I so want to share with my famiy!! God Bless!!!ReplyCancel

    Becca, this bow is so lovely! I have watched it many times as I am so poor at bows. I am attempting to improve. Was wondering if the ribbon you are using is wired or not. Thanks, and, have a wonderful Christmas, JoanReplyCancel

  • DealbaidaJanuary 3, 2009 - 12:25 am

    Heavens Becca, why has it taken me so long to discover this incredible tutorial? I am seriously bow-tying-challenged but this looks simple enough even for me to succeed.
