How to Make the Perfect Bow

Hey y'all! I'm here to finally show you how I make my bows! I originally was not going to ever do a tutorial because it's a very weird process. Luckily I have a friend who talked some sense into me and explained even though it's a weird process, it would still be good to share so others can see how I do it.
It doesn't involve tying anything, just some pipe cleaners, a crap ton of hot glue and wired burlap ribbon.
Why wired burlap ribbon? Because the wire enables you to mold the bow how you want and the burlap is sturdy so the bow isn't flopping around all over the place while you're
trying to put it together. If you've tried to make a bow with regular ribbon, you know what I'm talking about. It's a very frustrating process. If you can make a nice looking bow with regular ribbon, you've got skill my friend.
