Start with a 2.5” ribbon, measure a 8” tail, twist the ribbon and then add it to the bowmaker. Then make a 7” loop, twist, add it to the bowmaker. Make another loop on the other side then trim after a 8” tail.
Use another 2.5" ribbon to repeat the same process making your loops a little smaller this time. Then use the third 2.5" to repeat the same process, making your loops smaller again.
Next, use a 1.5" ribbon, repeat your process again. Repeat again with another 1.5" ribbon. And for the next layer, another 1.5" ribbon.
Use another 1.5" ribbon to make your last full layer, then another 1.5" ribbon to make a small center loop with two tails.
Take two pipe cleaners and twist the ends together to make one long pipe cleaner. Remove your bow from the bow maker and use the long pipe cleaner to secure the center of the bow twisting it off at the back.
