Today, I’m sharing a video tutorial showing you the 4 different ways I tie bows!

This has been my most requested video tutorial, and I’ve FINALLY created it! LOL! Thank you for your patience! Good things come to those who wait, right? Here are the four bows I’m sharing in my tutorial:
- “Bunny Ears” Bow
- Fork Bow
- Knot
- Traditional Bow
Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

Thank you so much for this very clear bow tying video. I have watched so many and this one is the best of all.
This is one of the best bow tying videos I have watched.
*. Ribbon stays attached to the spool-conserves amt used
*. Clearly see what happens to each part of the process: the ribbon, the spool of ribbon, fingers to hold, the card/project
*. Close up views
You should call this the no-fail ribbon tying video! Only thing you might consider adding is making double bow with fork tying.
Always good to bone up on making tiny bows! I use them for my diy cards! Your bow tutorial is great! Very easy and simple!
P.S. My maiden name is DiMatteo! What a coincidence!
What a wonderful video on bow making demonstrated and well presented and very easy to follow. Thank you so much. veronica
Without a doubt….. the best tutorial for bow tying! I have looked at ‘pert near every video out there searching for this gem! Not only was your video up close filming, and easy to follow, your voice was very soothing and pleasing.
Thank you very much
Thank you so much, Susan! So happy you enjoyed my tutorial – I’m honored to inspire you!
I am saving this one in my list of keepers. This video is helpful beyond anything. The bunny ears is pretty easy. Gotta work on the other 3, but they are all simple once you get the knack of it. Thank you as well for taking the time with each one so we can actually see where what side of the ribbon goes to get the effect you are going for. TYFS
I’ve seen similar demos before but never this well done. Thank you so much! I didn’t know that the fork method would keep shaded ribbon colors aligned. That is a plus! Also, I had been using a small fork because that was how I saw it done before. Foolishly, I never thought to use a serving fork which is going to be so much easier to handle.
Thanks again!
What a keeper! Thank you for tutorial, I just knew one day we would get to see it
Hello Julie
This is by far the best tutorial I have ever seen on making bows. I love all your projects.

Julie, this is one fantastic video, 4 ways to tie little bows, woo hoo!!
I’ve tried the “bunny ears” method but not the other 3 so I thank you so much for sharing these techniques with us today.
Sending hugs
