This video is the first one I watched of Laura! I was trying to figure out how to work with ribbons and make bows. And then I realized she was a gardener pro and kept watching because I didn’t know what to do with my garden either 😂 Can’t believe it’s been 5 years already! 🎄❤️
I'm a complete untalented bow maker. And of all the videos I've been looking at to learn how to do them, this is the best! Holiday greetings from Colombia 🎄
I watched this when you first posted it but I had to look it up again today. I was going crazy trying to make a bow. Thanks for making this video. I will reference it every year....lol🎄💗
I'm now 58 yo, at 16 I worked at a indoor/outdoor shop in Mobile, Alabama. Now closed but I got a winter job, cutting ribbons and making bows, learned, brushing up now!! Thanx Laura
I am 56 years old and have never been able to make the bows. I think after watching you, I will have bows everywhere this Christmas. Thank you for all the inspiration. You are my new bff.
I've watched a lot of videos on RUclips on how to decorate a tree with ribbon and bows, but this is, by far, the best one I've seen. The problem with most of them is that you can't really see what the person is doing. This video clearly shows and you clearly explain all of the details. Thank you!
I never thought to cut my ribbon in separate lengths. If the roll was 30 feet, it went around the tree and looked like I was straggling the tree to death. LOL! Thanks for teaching the correct way to add ribbon!☺️
I enjoy your videos so much. I learn a lot from you. I am in a wheelchair so l only have 2 raised bed boxes to plant things in, but I do ok. I am going to try to do my bows and ribbon Garland on my small tree like you just taught me. Hope it all works out. Good Bless you all, Kathy
I loved this educational video. I did not know how to make bows or how to string yr tree with ribbon. U made it look so easy but I am sure the worse part of all is having to hold all those loops while u are trying to make the bows. Than I understood why U used two ribbons for bows or making the ribbons to cascade down and around yr tree, because when U turn it in other direction u still see pretty ribbon. I also understand how to cut the ends of yr ribbon and bows to make extra Pretty and also to roll the ribbons 🎀 and bows for it to lay or roll Beautifully. Thank u so much for this class and video. I truly loved it.!!!!!!!!!! God Bless U and yr Family and continued videos.
Laura, you explained working with the ribbon so well! My mother was known for her bows on packages and she was my teacher. Aren't we blessed to have talented mothers, I know I was. 🎄🎀💚🎁
Absolutely beautiful tree and your instructions were clear and demonstrated beautifully. Thanks for sharing that which is surprisingly difficult for many of us.
I'm a lefty and have two daughters....when you say the translation to right is tricky, reminds me of my girls. I really appreciate as a lefty when mum joins you on your projects. Shes also adorable and sweet. Your very like your mum!🥰
I watched this when you first did it and loved it. Now years later, I've viewed other intructional ribbon videos and I always come back to this. It is explained the clearest and is really the prettiest I've seen. Some trees are so covered with ribbon, you can't see the tree or the ornaments. Just love this, Laura. Thank you again.
Thank you so much Laura, you are so kind to share all your ideas and tricks. I just simply love this style. Definitely will try this one this year. Wish me luck.....!!!
I love ribbon my grandmother and I used to she taught me many ways to make bows packages for the tree for all kinds of things so when I watch you it takes me back and I remember I have been that's sort of my signature making bows for since I was a kid almost I now 66 pretty much retired but I still love making bows course when you make bows that means you end up decorating homes and other things as well love your work keep it up
I always love watching your videos! My mom and I are both lefties and she taught me that whenever you are trying to teach someone that uses the opposite hand, to sit in front them (crocheting is a really good example). 😊
When I got a job in a flower shop years ago making a bow was the first thing I was taught. It's a useful thing to know if you like being creative. Your tree and bows are beautiful!!
This is the first video I ever watched for garden answer. I couldn't find a topper and deccided to make it from ribbon. Three years later I watch you ever day and return to this video every year.
Your tree was beautiful with just the ribbons! The ornaments were icing on the cake. Just lovely! This is the first year that I'll be using ribbons so I'm very grateful for the inspiration and the demonstration.
Just made a big bow for the top of my tree using this video and it turned out so good!! My Mom thought I bought the bow somewhere and was extra impressed when I told her I made it!
Thank you for the tips for working with ribbons. This will surely be a help to me. Congratulations on how beautifully everything is coming together for you.
Sweetheart, you remind me of myself when I was your age. I'm 71 now and can't do that much decorating anymore. I thoroughly enjoyed this video as my initiation to your site. I'm sure I'll be watching more. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and hope you have a Happy New Year.
Thank you so much to you both for this video and sharing your knowledge. I am going to go ribbon shopping this weekend! My mom was wanting bows to put outside on the house now I can attempt to make them!! I will apply this to my 🌲 also. Very excited!
I love making my own bows but it's always beneficial to see how someone else creates them. Great job! I love how all of your trees are decorated. They're certainly show stoppers. This Christmas is going to be so special for you and your family with Benjamin's wide-eyed wonderment. Enjoy every second.
I have watched this video a zillion times && I am about to attempt to add ribbon to my Christmas tree for the first time. Thank you for all the tips Laura! Wish me luck!!! 🎄
WOW....I am so excited that you made this video. You are a great instructor. I have replayed it numerous times. I just love watching it. Day after X-mas is my tree decorating day. Bring on the bows and ribbons......!!!
The ribbon looks beautiful and it seems to grace the tree. That is, it enhances the tree. I can't wait to see all of the trees you put up completely decorated. TFS
I love how you have shown us how to make the bows in a simple way. You do make it look so easy, that I am going to have another go at making them myself. I think they add another layer to the tree and elegance. Thanks for sharing.
Finally, after almost 44 years on this earth, I understand how to make these decorative ribbon bows. Past attempts lacked too many steps, that now seem so obvious watching you do it. Seems like your way of doing this is easier than others I’ve seen. I just might give it whirl again this year! Thanks so much for showing us how to do things in such an easy manner! Happy Thanksgiving!
I understand how you feel.My friend from Philly used to visit me in VA.Bch. at least 3 times a year she would make me lots of Bows for upcoming holiday events. I couldn't make me a bow for nothing. That was in the 90's Once day I went and purchased another bow maker and didn't go to sleep until I could make these bows. After 4 hours I got it.Now I make double and triple bows. I thank the Lord everyday for this gift of crafting
Thank you so much for all of that work you did and showing how to make the bows and how you place the ribbon going down the tree and around. It is so beautiful. I really love the look of the tree with the ribbons and all those extra lights. I love going back and looking at your videos that I've seen over and over and over. And this is one that I really really appreciate to see it again and again and again. Thank you so much, you fill my heart with blessings.
Excellent video! Love your choices, you have a great eye for color, balance n proportion! Just wanted to offer a tip I learned from my mom who was a professional when it comes to decorating- she spent the majority of her life teaching others, men and women in her classes! She used bows all through the tree as well as the ribbon streamers, so after making a dozen or so bows, twisting the wire can really hurt your hands. She kept needle-nose pliers handy and grabbed the ends to twist with the pliers. It sure saves the fingers n can twist much tighter than just with fingers alone. Thanks for the excellent video! Well done!!
I love how the ribbons make the tree look so much more full and accent the ornaments. Great idea for those that don't have a lot of ornaments. Thanks for the tutorial!
I am so excited to try this Laura!! I will post a picture in this thread when I get it done. This far the tree has sat with just light on it for 2 weeks hahaha but it's pretty that way too!!
Ok wow. I’ve never been able to understand how to make bows before! Watching you do it, I think I understand and will be able to do that for my tree next year! Thank you! Also, I’m a huge fan of traditional classic Christmas colors and ornaments, and the end result of that tree is beautiful! I love it! That tree just brings all the Christmas spirit to life! Wow!
I have never liked ribbons on trees. Ever. But this, THIS is pretty. I think because it's not so 'full' and taking over the tree. And I love YOU! You explain things so well and SHOW how to do things. I just found you recently and just moved in to a colonial revival house with no clue how to do the yard. I'll be devouring every vid you make.
I remember admiring the ribbons on your trees in your videos last year, so thank you so much for showing us how to put them together! I had never seen Christmas trees with ribbons on before, but they look so amazing that I'm now really keen to try. You explain so clearly how to do it and it now feels achievable to give it a go - thank you!
I have watched this video a few times now & will definitely try doing it your way. Your directions are so concise & looks much easier the way you make them. Too many disasters in the past for me,sometimes it took me all week to get the ribbon to my satisfaction .. This time I feel it will be much more successful. TY you are awesome!! 🥰
Thank you so much Laura for sharing such fun video! I watch your videos every time they come out. You bring so much joy to my days. Watching this video has inspired me and given me a push to start my Christmas decor. I have 6 trees that I set up in our home and I love having new ideas on how to decorate them. I Love you and your family. Praying for God’s blessings over you and yours as you continue to use your talents to bring joy into people’s homes. 🙏🏻🥰🍂
I appreciated this video so much. Those beautiful voluminous ribbons we see on Christmas trees in stores have always been a mystery to me. Now I can do my own! Thanks!
What a fun project! My mom taught me how to make bows the same way, she was a lefty & I'm a righty too! She also had left handed scissors, took me forever to learn how to use them. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful tree ❤🎄
Who’s here in 2023 watching this AGAIN 😂😂😂😂
I am 😁
