PLEASE do more videos. Out of the million and one videos I've found on bow making, NONE of which worked for me by the way, yours was the absolute easiest to follow. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Three years later and I've finally found a bow tutorial that I can finally follow and finally make a pretty bow. If I could give you a million dollars, you would get it. Thank you so much for this.
She is a fantastic speaker....teacher. Explains things well. Not a bunch of chit/chat, straight to the how-to-s. Best "Big Bow" I have come across. One of the best video "people" I have heard.
Absolutely the best tutorial! This was all about the bow and so easy to follow since you can watch the whole process right before your eyes!!!! In fact, I was able to make my single-sided bow right along with the tutorial. No fast forward, no "go to my social media to see the complete version", and the camera was only on the project. BEST bow making tutorial ever!! Thank you, Maymay.
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve watched. She was so thorough and inviting. Maymay, you are an amazing teacher. If she in person is anything like she is in this video, she is one awesome lady!
Excellent - You took your time to show us how to handle and hold the ribbon. Also, you went on to explain how you twist the ribbon when the front doesn't match the back. Showing exactly what you were doing allowed me to FINALLY make the perfect bow. Other channels don't go slow and do close ups. I really appreciate you!!!!
I agree, that this is the best tutorial on "how to make a bow" that I've ever watched!! I made my bow along with you. I was really impressed at how good mine turned out. Thank you Maymay
I have made bows most of my life and they turn out great, but this technique is so much easier than how I’ve done it for years. Thank you so much for sharing. You are very clear in your instructions. 🎀
This is the BEST tutorial I have found on making bows. I have never found a tutorial explain the way you fold the ribbon. Really impressed with you video and I shall certainly try making bows again, as I had given up. Thank you so much for sharing.
OMG! Your tutorial is awesome! I was unable to make a simple little bow, let alone a multi-loop bow! You have saved my life! My bow-making life, that is! I'm forever grateful to you! Thank you so very, very, much!!! ❤️
This was so great,thank you so much I can't wait to start and finish my project. I want to make ribbons for my church doors. You made it look sooo easy...
I was just about to comment the same thing! Short video too that is right to the point. I personally am not going to watch a 30 min video on how to make an easy DIY bow...then why does it need to be 30 minutes?!? 😆 I actually watched this one last year and needed to be refreshed (only made a couple bows last Christmas). So glad I remembered who did this simple video and found it quickly.
Oh wow! I cannot thank you enough for doing this tutorial! It’s all about the zip tie! I’m going out today to purchase zip ties! Oh, and that first loop! You did an amazing job teaching me how to correct my every struggle! Thank you, Thank you!!😊💜🤗
This is the easiest way to make a beautiful bow! Thank you (8 years later) for such a nice tutorial ❤ oh, one extra step I added was inserting a chenille stem into the back of the bow under the zip tie before cinching down. That way I’ll have a way to easily tie it to whatever I want.
Just made one with one sided ribbon - this is absolutely the best and easiest way ever! I have never, ever been able to make ribbons for wreaths and now, well, I can and they look super-complicated! Thank you for your excellent tutorial! ❤❤❤
thanks for taking the fear out of making bows. You were so generous to share your time and give us such great direction. I love your color choices and your bows.
Best tutorial ever! I’m OCD, have common sense and have been doing every arts and crafts known to man for years but this large bow thing was a pain in the neck with all of the twisting and bunching and bulking up, as instructed in practically every other video. This one was simple and to the point and my first try looked amazing! You’re a good orator as well, easy on the ears!
OMG MayMay you did it again! you are an amazing teacher! I feel like I can learn anything by watching you.I have ADD and I struggle to learn some things.Not with u, you explain everything slowly and clearly and I can understand it! TFS these videos have got me excited about crafting again.Something I haven't done in years.THANKYOU AGAIN.LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT TUTORIAL....
Yes! I want to match your excitement! I'm happy for you. Getting into crafting, especially during this change of seasons is so very exciting. It's lovely to get tutorials from MayMay. But more than anything, it's great to get inspiration. And your comment says to me that you're inspired! Her clear instructions and cheery attitude make that possible. Happy crafting!
Whoa! Very, very, very helpful! It took me 30 years to figure out how to make a bow and this video has just enhanced what I do-high five! Signed, Crafting in Winfall, NC
After watching MANY videos to make bows for my fence posts, yours is by far the easiest and most effective. You sound like someone I could be friends with! Very warm and engaging. Thanks for your good work!!
Wow! Look at you all bowie and fun stuff... what a wonderful bow making video... If this were in an award show for bow making this would have won the award...
Finally!!! A bow making video I can actually do!! A million thank you’s. I was just about to give up after attempting 10 other bow making tutorials and then I stumbled on yours. You are right, the zip tie is key!
MayMay you're a genius, what a great tutorial! It used to take me hours to make a few bows! Very easy to follow video and the results are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much. You are great at showing how to make bows. It is so kind of you all to share this talent. You are real fine at it. Thank you again for making fun at bow making.
Wow I know I can do this and won't have to worry about forgetting how to do it this way. Without the part where you adjust the loops to make the bow full THIS is the way I've made my bows 🎀 when I wrapped presents! TY for sharing and for all the tips!
Oh my goodness, zip ties, ingenious! This is such a blessing to learn. Many thanks for sharing this! I will certainly be taking advantage of your knowledge!

I was about to give up on making bows until I saw this! You explained more clearly and concisely than I've ever seen before. I've got it and thanks to you! God bless and Merry Christmas!
Wow, excellent tutorial. I just installed a new split rail fence in my front yard and wanted to put bows on the posts for the holidays - intimidated at first, have all the ribbon - but now watching this - easy peasy!! Thanks so very much
WOW, Beautiful presentation n well explained...One of the best I have seen so far....I love the way you explained every step...Thank you n many blessings to you n your family!!!!
I never comment on RUclips. I have searched and searched on tutorials on how to make bows. I’m so happy I came across yours. I have now made 3 perfect bows with out any problem. I have even shared your video with friends. You made it so easy! Thank you!! I feel like I can now make any type of wreath and add a bow no problem.
Thank You ! This is the best video on RUclips showing how to make a bow. I have never made a bow before and with your video you made it super easy.I would never have done it without your video !
I have watched and watched bow making ribbon tutorials for a few years now and never really got the hang of it, but you made it so that every step was clear and now I think I finally got it! I cant wait to try it tonight once I'm done with home chores and make some beautiful ribbons for the decorations inside and outside! Wish me luck and thank you!
I almost cried. Can’t believe I made this bow. Though I didn’t have any zip ties, I did use the last 6 inches to tie around the center super tight and that did the trick. I used burlap ribbon with wire. So pretty. Thank you for making this possible!
I have always had a horrible time making bows and just ruined ribbon unmercifully. THIS tutorial has changed everything. I can make bows as easy as anyone else now. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing how to make a bow. I am so thrilled to have seen this. Your instructions are very easy to follow and your voice is very easy to listen to.
THANK YOU!! I've been watching some RUclipsrs this morning as want to conquer a darn bow. Your method is easy to follow and you explained very well. I do wish I had the double sided but don't, as would be easier for me hands down, but I thank you again. Now to 🙏 while I get to it!! ☺️
Great video tutorial. Love the way you gave tips on what to buy to simplify the ribbon making as well as taking us visually and not just verbally through the steps. I had seen several RUclips videos that assumed the viewer knew many of the steps. Thanks!
Great video - thank you! I have been watching videos to learn this process and yours is the BEST!! Clear voice (easy to listen to) with concise clear directions. I will search but I hope you have more videos!! Thanks so much.
First time bow maker here. Super easy guide! I watched about 5 videos before coming across yours. Very well done! I used 2 ribbons for my bow. Turned out GREAT!
great tutorial on making bows. I have always had a hard time, however this looks like I could do it. Do you have a video on using two ribbens of different patterns?
I used her method with 2 ribbons (first time making a bow, ever). It was pretty easy. Prior to doing the bow I took both the ribbons, pinched them with my thumb and middle finger, measured it out to my elbow, made a crease of that measurement and folded it in that length 13 times around. This gave me a good size bow for my wreath and I had room for my tail. I wish I could share the picture.
I just. Watched your video Omggg U r. my new best friend!! Lollll I never ever could do bows for my wreaths.. Today.. I tried your way and omggg in did it the first time!! Thank you. I'm not scared of bows anymore!! Great job
