After making all the loops you need for your bow twist the bow instead of the wire holding your bow together. This makes a much tighter and fuller bow.
I would love to know how to make Christmas bows. Can anyone help?

I recently bought a bow maker at AC Moore. It has great instructions and is really easy to use with great results! It only cost 10.00 but I got a coupon out of my local newspaper for 50% off! If you don't have an AC Moore near you try Michaels Craft store or maybe any place like it might carry it. Good luck.

This is a page about making bows from magazines. The covers and pages of magazines can be recycled into colorful gift bows.
Turn paper muffin liners into cute decorations shaped like bowties. This is a page about making muffin liner gift bows.
No need to buy bows or ribbons to decorate a gift. Use any wrapping paper and a pair of scissors to make a matching curly bow for a lovely finishing touch.
Use pipe cleaners to make cute bows on their own or incorporate them into a more traditional bow by substituting the pipe cleaner for the ribbon tie in the center of the bow.
