I have wanted to know how to make bows for many years and have had many lessons from friends but to no avail. Yours is the best tutorial I have seen. I have never seen anyone make the last bow but using a glue gun really appeals to me. I will consider myself very lucky if I can master bow #1!
Just a quick tip. Tie a " bakers" knot by wrapping the string around twice before pulling tight that way it doesn't slip loose while wrapping again for the second time. That way you don't have to worry about losing all the folds etc before even getting it tied.
I really appreciate this video. I especially appreciate you showing how to do the "pinch" everyone talks about but never shows. I am new to bow making and really struggle with that. Now I know how to do it properly. Thank you!!
This video is still going STRONG in 2023 cause it is truth! Thanks Shannon for the easy and clear way u explain bows. 😉 I would love 2 know ribbon lengths (im always trying to think how many bows can i get from one roll lol so I can buy enough supplies) but thats minor these video is excellent!
Shannon, I have only been following you for a little over a year. Recently I have been watching bow tutorials trying to make a decent wreath bow. Thank you for this -- it's the best one on RUclips. ❤️
This is my first comment as a NEW SUB! I found you from a recent video on 11/26. I saw that you had a bow making video and had to come check out your 4 styles. My Mom, rest her soul, was a champion bow maker. That’s how I learned! Primarily we freehand the #3 bow, like you said, for a tree topper, outside bows for the pole light outside, to wreathes. Mom loved the red velvet wired ribbon 🎀. She had made a beautiful bow in silver for her tree with tails streaming down “crimped” to make a cascading bow that flowed down and into the tree. Luckily, she passed on her bow making skills to me as I make custom wreathes for all seasonal wreathes. The DIY grapevine wreath is my favorite medium and because you DIY’d the wreath and bow, it can be full and as beautiful and unique as a fingerprint of your own aesthetic and style or for someone else’s requested style. It is my passion. I’ve made over 100 wreathes for friends, family, co-workers, and clients in all colors, shapes and sizes with all mediums. I did not know Dollar Tree had red wired 9’ ribbon! They seem to have so many picks, decorations, flowers, and all kinds of craft items I never knew they carried. I’ve learned now to make 2 other style bows. #1 I’ve made before and #3, but your technique is so different and precise since mine are free handed and no cutting of ribbon. Thank you for providing an easier and precise application to your style. I’m saving this tutorial for another way to perfect the craft. Looking forward to binging your videos and your new content. Today is Thanksgiving 2020 & what better way to spend our “Covid downtime” with productivity in making DIY projects and just in time for Christmas! Looking forward to seeing you in your new & old videos and your unique and creative ideas!!! ❤️🎀❤️
Wowww you have explained this and showed how to EASILYYYYYY make a bow! O goodness!!! Im So happy I found you and can’t wait to watch all the rest of your videos!!!
I know this is an older video but it's still a goodie! My tree topper is like the 3rd bow (but mine is Huge!) It's is a red Christmas plaid & I attach 4 various length matching robin's to flow down the front & sides! Love my bow!
I've never made a bow before but have always wanted to. I love doing crafts but honestly I'm not very good yet (not giving up 😊) but your tutorial makes me feel like I can master the art of making bows!! Thanks very much!!
I love, love these bows. Their absolutely beautiful. As Christmas is my favorite time of year you have giving me so many ideas for projects with the mini trees and these bows. Thank you.
Just found your bow making tutorial (thanks for doing it slowly) in time for Christmas 2022! My hands cramp very badly when doing "tight" work, they tighten into stiff, crazy positions, so the hot glue was a genius idea, Shannon! My thumb and index finger cramp first, so being able to keep my "folds" together and then add the glue was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for this essential how-to video. :)
Looking back at older Christmas inspiration. I loved this video. You make making the 3rd bow look easier than I've seen on other videos. Thanks, Shannon.
Your videos are addictive. Thanks so much 4 sharing, and God Bless You & Yours. Yes ma'am more Please, maybe something with candy canes, or gingerbread men or both? Thanks!
I truly was inspired thank you very much for the tutorial I wish I could join I'm on a fixed budget and I've joined already a couple of others and I can't afford to join anymore but I love watching you I love your bows
Thank you for this video. I’m can not make a pretty bow but the way u explained it and showed me, I might can just do it. I love you workshop with all those power tools. I love to work with wood, but don’t have many tools or a place to do it so I just sit and watch you. Lol. Everything you do to me is like a master piece. I’m thinking maybe someday I can do those. Love that vinyl machine you have also. I’ll probably never have that though.
I have been loving your 12 days of Christmas! The gnome craft with your mom is so fun. I struggle with bows, so I this video is confidence building! The last bow is my favorite, gorgeous!
Thank you I've been loving all you 12 days of Christmas DYI I Needed this yesterday i made a bow last night for my DYI wreath. I'm still working on my DYI garland around my door definitely going to use one of your bows on that
I love your tutorials. You make it seem like even i can do it! Lol i would love a tip on making the large bow with burlap. I really seem to be struggling. (The tree topper) ty huuggs Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I think I've watched all your tutorials so far! I loved them all ! I made a couple of the light garlands. Thank you so much for the great idea! You make everything look so easy!

Love the bows. Is there something else you can use to tie the middle instead of string? My nails are long and I have a hard time with string lol
Love these!
Thank you so much for this video. I struggle with bows and now I see what I was doing wrong. 😃👍
I do hope this helps a lot! The center crease is the most important part. Happy crafting!
Loved this! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you for sharing great tutorial
So cute
Beautiful!! How many loops does the 3rd one have?
Nice job Shannon!! 👍🏻🎀🎄
Thanks for sharing. 🎄❄⛄🎅🎁
Hi. What lengths of ribbon do you typically use to make your bows?
Tfs, my bows come out looking so stupid, lol. You've explained this really well.
I love your tutorials. You make it seem like even i can do it! Lol i would love a tip on making the large bow with burlap. I really seem to be struggling. (The tree topper) ty huuggs Merry Christmas to you and yours!
One sided burlap
This is so helpful I am bow challenged
TFS...Super....

Oh darn 😆❤️ Hope this helps for the next go around
Lovely tutorial. I am about to start my bow making for my DIY Christmas wreath! Merry Christmas Thank you
Nice tutorial. Is there a reason you use string to tie rather than wire?
💜💜💜Where did you get the twine?
Thanks for sharing your wonderful Christmas idea 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁🎄🎅🏻
Very good bow tuturial. I've never seen the last one, it's fabulous. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
Great video, thanks so much for sharing.
I think I've watched all your tutorials so far! I loved them all ! I made a couple of the light garlands. Thank you so much for the great idea! You make everything look so easy!
Aw! Thank you!
Where did you get the red and white string?
Loved this video. I always struggle with bows. For the first two bows, what is the length of ribbon that you are starting with?
The first bow you can make any length and you'll come out ok. The second I believe they were 13" and 15". Hope that helps!
🤗🎍🎅🤶❤❤❤ Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays!
YOU are awesome!💖
😍❤️❤️❤️
