DIY Vibrant Full Satin Ribbon Bow

DIY Vibrant Full Satin Ribbon Bow

I adore two-tone bows! Right now, I make them mostly for my daughter and a few little girls from her kindergarten class. Sometimes I sell the ones my daughter didn't care for when I was itching to try something new. 🙂 This is one of those bows. If you want to make one yourself, read the tutorial below—it's super easy!

Gather Your Supplies:

Materials and tools

- 4 cm satin ribbons in two colors (higher contrast is better; I used leftover scraps);
- tailoring pins;
- sharp scissors;
- needle;
- thread;
- glue (I usually use a hot glue gun);
- candle.

Find the center of the strip, shift by 2 cm (see photo), and create a corner fold
