A while back I learned a fun way to tie a bow--using a fork!
Wrap your ribbon around the fork, crossed in front:
Push one end through the middle tines to the back from the bottom of the ribbon:
Push the other end through the middle tines to the back from above the ribbon:
Pull the ends together in back, keeping centered:
Turn the fork over, and it looks like this:
Tie the ends together, over the ribbon. (a single tie is enough, no need to make a knot):
Pull the ribbon off the fork, and what a pretty bow!
Isn't that too much fun? I've made different sizes of bows, too. One of my favorites used a large serving fork that's four inches wide. A friend told me she's used her potato masher, that would also be even wider.
Have fun with it!
Happy Stamping!
