I’ve seen people give this technique but don’t think I’ve ever heard it explained so well....cause this gave me more hope than ever. Gonna give it a try and I’ll check back in.
I'm pretty crafty (pun intended), but have struggled with other bow-making tutorials on You Tube...mostly because of the twisting aspect. Your bow with the "wrapping" technique and cutting the notches was so much easier and turned out great. My two bows will go on the front pews for our daughter's wedding this weekend!!!!! Thank you so much!
I am so grateful to you for making this video. I'm going to make my own bows for my wedding now. I was looking at buying them but they're pricey. I was taught this bow when I was 10 but had forgotten the cutting part so I have never been able to do it again until now. Thank you so much for your time 😁
Love this method!! I have no idea why there are so many unlikes on here. 275 people are idiots. Your grandma was a creative genius. Thank you for taking your time to do this tuturial.
You cleared up a lot of questions I had about this technique. I learned about this type of bow making but I did not know how to finesse it. As a result mine looked haphazard . Now I know how to do it correctly. Thank you for the clear instructions.
Thank you Debi! I finally made a good looking bow. I have watched so many "pinch and twist" videos and never understood. Your Grandmothers bow is the best. Great tutorial.
DEBBIEEEE!!! Thank you for sharing your very special bow making! Not only is this technique incredible and easy to understand; but the fact that your grandmother taught you is absolutely priceless! And again, thanks so much!
Oh my! How this takes me back to my childhood growing up years! So long ago can't remember if it was in grade school or if my Dad taught me this way but both were with the narrow Christmas ribbon we had in the ancient 50's. It was so hard for my 6 to 8 year old hands to hold that slick thin ribbon steady and get those notches cut without whacking it completely in two! We had hilarious fun trying though. Thank you for the sweet reminder of the good ole years! :)
Omg I make the same now but with a lot of twisting n hand hurting, you have just showed me a total different way to get the same bow . Thank you for the share.
FINALLY!! A bow tutorial that I could understand, follow along with & actually create🎉👏🏽🙌🏽🥳🥹😍 Thank you and your sweet grandmother. I’m so excited😂 y’all just don’t know😫I’m glad you mentioned pain in the hands. Lord these things can sometimes make you hurt😢but not this bow (as I dump all my rolls of ribbon onto my work table)I’m bout to make bows for days. Have fun y’all! 😊
I've been making gift baskets for over 20 years, and thanks to you, I'm now making bows instead of buying them. You're saving me a lot of money. Lol. Thanks for making it so easy to understand. Keep up the good work 👍
This video was very helpful! I had watched another video where you have to twist it and my bow looked terrible ..I love your grandma’s idea with cutting it so you can work with it..my bow turned out very pretty thank you very much to you and I am thankful that your grandma shared it with you
Ok here's my story......I'm a beginning crafter meaning I just found out my hobby and love is in crafting and now I'm excited and trying my hands at everything. I made a card box for my friends anniversary that she's throwing for her parents. I finished the Cardbox tonight for the event tomorrow and said its perfect except I need a huge satin cascading bow, went to meijer and they didn't have what I was looking for so I went to the craft aisle picked up 2 rolls of black satin ribbon and said to myself, if your a crafter than why not make what your visualizing. So I came home got on RUclips and found this video and took a crack at it. You had great instruction i fully got the concept, had coated twist wire and said let's go, I went, the bow came and I'm overjoyed, my card box looks sensational now, thank you for sharing your grandmother secret, I will be teaching it to my granddaughter too.
Thank you ive tried every video, to remember what my maw maw taught me and couldn't, plus my hands are not as strong as when i was younger, now i remember and will try it again, most videos i watched was an epic fail when i tried lol
Thanks so much so glad i found this tutorial , been struggling with my hands aching making crappie bows! These will make all the difference and look so much prettier ! Thanks the grandma for teaching you her way,and you for sharing
WOW! Out of all the bow making videos I've watched, they never seem to end up looking "quiet right" = the shape or size I'm seeking-old school. But you, and Grandma, of course, got it spot on! This is the way I was told. I say told because noone ever showed me. It was more of, "take one apart and figure it out: it's easy." Well I took it apart all right but I could never figure out how it was put together. Your explanation is so clear. I love the way you explain the usefulness of the notches. This is the prettiest bow I've seen and done w/o a device=old-school Craftmanship1!! It is just like the bows on the tops of trees and packages, when Macy's and A&S Strauss would gift wrap gifts @ holidays! Thank you sooo much! See what happens when children sit with their grandparents. Mine taught me how to mend 😄
Thanks so much for taking the time to show us how to make your grandmother's beautiful bows. What gifts they give to us when we're young, and by doing so, our grandmothers live on...God bless.
I want to say Thank you! Thank you! I haven't been able to make a decent bow in 3 years now due to chemo induced arthritis plus neuropathy that advanced pretty quick as the months went by. Your tutorial (especially sharing your Grandma's directions) has gave me the gift of making pretty bows again since I don't have to twist and hold on to all the ribbon. Merry Christmas!
For years I’ve been hand tying bows on my gifts and people love them. But, I’ve always paid others to make my wreath bows. I bought one of those Bowdabras but I don’t know, they just didn’t look right. Today I was making my mother a summer wreath for her birthday and had the old Bowdabra out and thought, let me look on RUclips to see how others use this thing. I just happened to watch your video and oh my goodness I made the most perfect bow. I was beyond excited and very proud of the result. Thanks for the wonderful instruction. I’m subscribed. ✌🏻 & ❤️
Thank you Debbie, the bow turned out so beautiful. I like the way you show the step by step directions. This makes it easier when I try to get to do my bows. Thank you so much. Debbie Petersen
Wow! This is so far the easiest looking way to make a big bow. I have been trying the pinching method from other videos and couldn’t do it at all. Frustrated. I’m wanting to make a bow for a wreath for my front door. My first try. The bow though...hmmm. Off to try this method. Thank you so much!
My first bow ever. My bows looked okay but not like yours as I didn't know about two ribbons. I have this Dollar store ribbon and now I know what to do with it. Thanks Debi
I just made your bow to top a gift basket for my future sister in law's bridal shower. It came out beautiful thanks to this video!! Thank you for sharing your grandmother's bow with us. :)
Loved your tutorial. Someone asked me to make a bow and I didn't really know how. Looked at several tutorials and you explained it so easy for me. Made the bow and it's really cute. Thank you so much!!!!
Omg I kid you not I resonated with your nice energy almost like you were speaking to me and then you brought out the ribbon from dollar I too had same 2 exact 9” ribbon from dollar tree 💐
So sweet you learned this from your Grandmother. I personally use an easy bow maker but this is a great alternative. I bet this would look great with a satin non wired ribbon ?
I'm so happy I finally found a bow tutorial that was easy to understand and that I can actually do! Thank u!
So glad to be abel to see what she's doing. And understand what she's saying,! Pertty, pretty bow!! Now I know to make a pretty bow!! 😊
Thank you by the way!!!
Must say nice to see someone do their way. Thanks for a simple and honest tutorial

I’ve always struggled making bows & I’d never seen your method before... WOW an absolute game changer, thank you for sharing ! XxX 💜💜💜 XxX
Appreciate your instructions on this bow tutorial. Thanks. I will now go and make a beautiful one - hopefully!
Awesome tutorial!!
So sweet you learned this from your Grandmother. I personally use an easy bow maker but this is a great alternative. I bet this would look great with a satin non wired ribbon ?
I have never made a video comment. Girl, you saved me and this works and makes sense! Thank you!
I LOVE UR BOWSTRYING TO LEARN FROM YOU.thank you...
