Christmas Funky Bow Tutorial 2018

- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- In this Funky Bow Tutorial 2018, I show how I take 3 different ribbons and make a beautiful custom funky bow for my Christmas decor. I show how easy and inexpensive it is to make a bow using the Funky Bow technique.
I cut 3 different ribbons 28 inches long and chevron the ends of the ribbons.
Fold ribbon into and make a loop (bow) that is 5 inches long this will give you 10 inch tails.
If you do not have double sided ribbon twist the back ribbon forward.
Alternate the direction of the loops (bows) turn one right side up and the next one down until you run out of ribbon.
You can have 3 ribbons going one way and then alternate the next 3 ribbons. However, alternating the ribbons gives a much prettier bow I think.
You can use all the same ribbon if you want.
Take a chenille tie and put it around the ribbons twisting tightly in the back.
i'm 5 yrs late but im glad i found this. It should be titled no bowdabra necessary. As a creative we get sucked into buying all these gadgets and don't need them. I am excited to try this method. Thank you for sharing.
@@janellh.6515 I notice that the presenter mentioned her hand was cramping. I know that would happen to me too with having to hold that much volume. That is why I love my Bowdabra.
Lovely teacher, MsxMahnolia, just wonderful bow and very easy to understand you. God bless you always. Happy Thanksgiving! A friend from Texas, almost 80 years old and still learning!!!
Hi, you are so sweet! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! Take care my friend. Tawnyah Xoxo
great bow but love how you showed how easy .Nice job ,,
.
😘
The best one I have seen so far. Great job. Charlotte in Arkansas
A very good demonstration of a funky bow thank you so much may God continue to bless you and your family from your friend Ella from Tennessee:-).
This really works!! I’m lousy at bows. I even got a machine to help. No luck. Tried this method and I made an absolutely gorgeous bow first time out!
Aww, I am so glad! 😘🐕
Four a solid 5 years I have not been able to make a bow to save my life and for the first time ever I made it and I’m in SHOCK !! I did it!! It’s perfect!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!! You are forever my craft sister 😊😊😊
I love how clear your instructions are. So easy to follow. Turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing my dear friend.😃
Oh, that is so sweet of you to say! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video. Take care my dear friend. :-)
Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing
Thanks for patiently and methodically going step by step through the process. I have NEVER made a bow EVER. And, the two I made for some Christmas lanterns actually turned out very nice. I'm not ashamed to display them this holiday season...lol
Hi, oh I’m so happy! I hope you have a very merry Christmas! Xoxo
Wow you make it so doable how to do gorgeous bows. Thanks for teaching us and sharing your creative talent.
It truly is the easiest way I know to make a beautiful bow! Take care. :-)
I have made bows before but it wasn't looking right so did a search here. I was trying 3 colors together already, so this video was perfect .It turned out great-thanks! I don't want to be one of those people who don't follow the recipe [haha] but made a few tweeks in case others are interested. I ended up with 3 pieces left [1 of each color] in the end, so just added those in. I needed the scale of my bow a hair bigger so did 6 inch loops.Thanks again for making it so easy and soooo cute!
Love your colors....shape is good as well BUT sooooo many ends. You could actually have a few more loops and less ends. I worked for a gift basket company for ten years. Customers would bring in their ribbon for me to make their bows. The owner charged them $6 just for me to make them with customers own ribbon. I made hundreds of bows from early November until Christmas. I love bows .....
That bow is so pretty! Thank you for showing us how to make it!
Beautiful funky bow! I am so happy you shared this. I have never been able to make bows! You are talented. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Oh, I’m so happy that you liked it! This is truly the easiest way I know to make a beautiful bow. Take care. :-)
Thank you so much for showing how to make a beautiful "funky" bow. I never would have thought of a different ribbon loop on each side. You really are a good instructor. Am doing Christmas wreaths, etc now and can hardly wait to try this
Thank you so much for all the sweet comments! Enjoy! Xoxo
You are very clear in your instructions, this is very helpful. Thanks for a great video.
Oh I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video! Take care. :-)
This bow is gorgeous!! Thank you for giving us tips that are easy and don’t make it look like it’s killing your hands to make it!! You always have such good tips! 😍🙏😃😃
Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! You are so sweet! Xoxo
I love watching I've been making both since I was 10 and I'm 68 my grandmother taught me years ago but I love this new funky bow because you can use scraps and things like that and just do all kinds of things you never know what you're going to end up with but your bow is absolutely gorgeous I love the combination of all three of the designs in the ribbon and yes I agree I used to have to use it no wired ribbon in it it's not the same it is absolutely beautiful
I made bows yesterday from your tutorial yesterday. I used my bow maker to hold everything in place. They are the most prettiest bows ever! Thank you!!!
Wow, you just blew all the others on here as I live in a hospital bed in my apartment due to a house fire in Jan. 19th of 2018 after loosing my husband exactly one week after Thanksgiving 2017, unexpectedly! and lived in a shelter for 8 mth's. after the fire where I lost all the trees and years of collecting ornaments as I decorated every room in the house even small themed trees in my bathrooms! Since then I haven't thought about even putting up a tree..till the year but on what I make a month i'd never be able to afford even a tree and the ornaments and lights, but I sit here on a laptop that a friend traded my kitchen aide mixer 1 of the few things to be in the cabinets to survive the fire and all I have done since fall is to watch videos of the beautiful things that they have made constantly and ... my Beautiful one not one comes close to your beautiful bows that I so wish, I am not sure why that I too long to have a tree and so many of the beautiful things I have watched you make i find myself wanting to also make this year! I never know how to do like I used to do hitting all the deals at Micheal's and Hobby lobby and after Christmas I'd have everything I was waiting on to go on clearance at Pier One but today i can't see any of it happening again however i wanted you to know that I crown you the classest and the best at following through on a thought ...until that though was a beautiful finished project! God bless you and all those that you hold dearest to your heart and "MERRY CHRISTMAS"!
Thank you so much for the sweet sweet comments! I am so sorry for all your loss it breaks my heart. I pray that everything works out wonderful for you. You are such a sweet sweet person. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Take care and God bless. Hugs :-)
Thank you so much finally I found someone that really could explain it so easy and well… you are so talented God bless you
@@BrendaSanchez-fr9tm Aww, thank you! You are so sweet! God bless. 😘🐕
Enjoyed seeing how to make such a simple, but beautiful bow!!!
Love your technique, Beautiful! Joyce from Huntsville Alabama
😘🎄
Love your tutorial. It truly is the easiest way I’ve seen to make a bow like yours. I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hey I always come back each year for a quick tutorial update for my funky bows for each Christmas. Love this bow
Love this, very festive and so easy to follow your instructions. You are such a natrual. Loved this......thank you for sharing!
Blessings :)
Oh, thank you so much for the sweet comments! I’m so happy that you loved it! Take care. :-)
Thank you so much for this! I was able to make an amazing Xmas bow for my lantern in about 12 minutes. I wish I could post a pic of it for you to see! Your method is the only one I’ve been successful with! So much better than messing with my wooden bow maker or pinching and twisting the old fashioned way for 20 minutes only to drop half of it. Also, your way makes it way easier to fluff the bow. Thanks again!
Love it. All your videos are very instructional and wonderful.
Thank you so much for your sweet comments! Take care. :-)
I finally understand how to make a bow. I have watched so many videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Aww, you are very welcome! Glad I could help! 😘🐕
@@TheMagnoliaHousewife I'm all set.
I'm more or less retired now but I used to that was my signature was making bows big little it didn't matter what kind it didn't matter and of course I did them all by hand no machines no anything but I love your crazy so I forget what you called it but I really do enjoy watching you and I liked your presentation thank you for sharing happy holidays
What a great technique for a FABULOUS bow!
I love this way to make bows. They turned out great....TFS
It is such an easy way to make a beautiful bow! Take care. :-)
Wooow!!! I was looking for ideas for the top of my Christmas tree and this bow is beautiful! It will go perfectly with my decor this year! thanks
@@Igordeazevedocruz you are welcome! Glad I could help! 🐕😘
I like the fact you don't have to purchase anything but the ribbon. Most of these videos require bow makers, etc. I usually only decorate for the Christmas season and dont want to make bows the rest of the year. I know I can do this.
Gorgeous funky bow! Love your color combination...
This was so genius! Much easier and looks like you used a bowdabra! 😮Thank you for sharing this funky bow method😊❤❤❤

Such a beautiful bow and you made the instructions so simple without a lot of over explanation! I just wanted to mention that at times you were out of camera range or you were hiding what you were doing with what you were holding in your left hand (did that make sense?). Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tonya, I just found your 2018 Bow making with Christmas Ribbon and found it very helpful. I seem to have a hard time making pretty bows for Christmas Wreaths and other crafts too , so this was a big surprise to have found this episode. I also watched your Christmas tasting candy episode of 2021, Maggie looks so cute in her elf sweater, and i am amazed how she loves wearing it. Most Dogs would want to pull it off! I find all of your topics fun and interesting to watch. Maggie is a cut up who always makes me laugh. Looking forward to more DIYs with Christmas and other holidays too.
Love this . I think its clever easy and so cute..
😘
Hi such a beautiful bow. One question, how wide is the ribbon you're using, it looks like 2/2.5"? And can this be made with a smaller width ribbon. Sorry two questions! I'm so glad I discovered your channel. You are detailed in your explanation of instructions. Makes it so much better. Thank you
I love this tutorial. Beautiful bow! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to use this technique with my Bow Dabra because I have arthritis in both thumbs and index fingers so holding it I could never do. Thanks again!
What beautiful Work! I am getting my ribbon out now. I can only hope mine will be even 50% as pretty as yours!
Love it
, Thank you for sharing.🎁
TY! Knew what I was after, couldn't find it until THIS video. Merry Christmas 🎅
