Gentle bows always make the image doll-like and cute, and white is always in style. In this lesson, you will learn how to make a lush white bow from satin ribbon.

Instructions

Lush white bow from a satin ribbon

Total Time: 35 minutes

Step 1: Use a satin ribbon

Take a 4-inch (10 cm) piece of satin ribbon to create a luxurious bow petal. Gently scorch the edges with a lighter.

Step 2: Work with the reverse side

Put the tape face down and fold the first side into the corner.

Step 3: Make a fold

Fold this edge again and temporarily fasten with a pin.

Step 4: Fold on the other side

Fold the second edge of the tape in the same way.

Step 5: Make a second corner

Then make another fold on the same side and fasten with a pin.

Step 6: Prepare the needle and thread

Before doing this, position the blank petal in front of you. All folds should be at the bottom and the corners at the top. Sew the 2 bottom sides of the resulting square with a basting stitch. Insert the needle from the wrong side to the right.

Step 7: Fasten the pieces together

Sew half of the blank.

Step 8: Create a petal

Gently pull the thread to tighten the petal. Fix the thread and cut it off. You should have one petal for the future bow, as shown in the photo.

Step 9: Prepare 12 petals

Make a few petals like this. The number of petals you make will depend on how ornate you want the bow to be. If necessary, you can finish the desired number of elements as you work.
