Ever seen these gorgeous bows and wondered how to make them?

Well the good news is they’re actually pretty simple! There are only a few short steps to making them which are outlined below. 

You will need:

Ribbon
Ruler
Scissors
Adhesive
Embellishment (optional)

Step 1

To start, cut two lengths of ribbon, one at 16cm and another at 13cm.

I typically go for a 3cm difference between the pieces, but you can play around with the sizes to achieve a more compact look or even a third loop! 

Step 2

Bring the two ends of one piece of ribbon together to fold in half and press down to create a visible line down the centre of the ribbon. 

Step 3

Bring the edge of each ribbon to the crease in the centre and secure with an adhesive.

For this step I used a hot glue gun, but double-sided sticky tape or glue dots will work just as well. 

Step 4

Layer the smaller loop on top of the larger loop. 

Make sure the side without the join is facing upwards on the smaller of the pieces - although something will be added to the top part of the join may be visible and will look messy.  

Once you're happy with the placement, secure with adhesive. 

Step 5

Finally, add an embellishment to the centre, the one featured here is our round diamante and pearl embellishment. 

For a simpler look, take a small piece of the same ribbon and wrap it around the centre, securing it at the back.
