Large decorative bows always create a bold statement. Use them on wreaths, plants or as decor in your home.

• Ribbon
• Small scrap ribbon
• Scissors

Select your ribbon. Any type of ribbon works when making large bows, such as fabric, wire, organza or mesh.

From the spool, cut the ribbon to your desired length and then cut a smaller piece of ribbon to hold the bow together. Or you can use scrap ribbon of the same color. Set the small piece of ribbon aside.

Take your cut ribbon and lay it flat on a hard surface. Make an X shape with your ribbon.

With your hands, pinch the ribbon in the center to form bow.

Take the small piece of ribbon and tie it around the pinched part of the bow. Tie it tightly together in the back. Cut the tails of your ribbon to your desired length.

Smooth and fluff until you have the perfect decorative bow.
