Holiday Tip: How to Make a Magic Bow

Tis the season (to use the word tis). This week we’re learning magic. Unfortunately, there are no rabbits here… but bows are pretty awesome too. So here is everything you need to know to make a magic bow and all you need is a spool of ribbon and some holiday mojo. Good luck!!

1. Find any spooled ribbon, then take the end and firmly grasp inner ribbons with one hand. Let the entire ribbon dangle freely downward.
2. Fold back the two outside tails and crease.
3. Gently, but firmly, slide fingers down along inner ribbons until bow is completely formed and secured.
4. Grasp backside of bow between thumb and forefinger. Pinch firmly to set loops.
5. Press the bow to box, wrap bands around box and tape ends or trim excess ribbon if desired.
