Hi Barbara. Start by determining how big of a bow you want. Then cut a piece of cardboard the same size. Wind your ribbon loose around the cardboard approx 4 - 6 times. Then remove the ribbon from the cardboard while pinching the center of the ribbon. Tie another piece of ribbon tightly around the middle. Then fluff the ribbon while pulling the layers apart. Wired ribbon works best because the loops stay put and make a fuller bow. You can wind the ribbon more around the cardboard for more loops. I like to put a small trinket in the center of my bows. A Christmas ornament, a candy cane, a sprig of garland and a pine cone all look pretty in the middle of bows intended for Christmas. Good luck Barbara. Happy Holidays.
