Okay, I know the supplies list is kind of scary, but this tutorial really isn’t that bad. :)
Step 1: Measure and cut out all of the pieces of ribbon that are listed above.
Step 2. Take all of the ribbon except for the 3/8" anchor ribbon and cut the ends in a ‘v’ shape. Then heat seal the ends of all your ribbon.
Step 3: Take a pin and start stacking the cobalt and hot pink grosgrain with the 7/8” anchor ribbon. Alternate the colors to create a unique base for your bow.
Step 4: Fan out the ribbon to create an ‘x’ shape, then, while the ribbon is still in this shape take your needle and thread and stitch up the middle. Once that is done take the pin out and then pull the stitching tight to gather the ribbon. Wrap your thread around the ribbon a few times then tie it off.
Step 5: Now grab your NBNG size 5 template and wrap your 1 1/2" pink and blue anchor ribbon around it twice. You will need to use a clip to hold one end of the ribbon to the template. Stick a pin through the center, remove the clip, and slide the ribbon off the template. Step 6: Take and fan out the loops for your bow. Once you have your desired look, sew a few stitches up the center and repeat the sewing process as in Step 4.
