Whether it involves wrapping a gift or decoration for clothing or hair, the ability to make a bow can be challenging for some. Many top their special gifts with hand-curled ribbons that add a personal touch to the gift. Store-bought bows are uniquely beautiful, but you can easily make package toppers that feel much less perfunctory and predictable than a typical bow.

If you do not know how to tie a bow knot, this tutorial is perfect for you. There are a million different ties for a million different things. But, this tie is one that we might have been doing since we were little kids. Even though the bow knot or shoelace knot is easy, making it for different purposes can pose some problems.

When making crafts, bows that are made from ribbon can be made in several ways, depending on what use you intend putting them to. For this tutorial, by Janayquilts, you will need a potato masher. You will pull the ribbon around the masher and bring the two ends in front.

Cross the ribbons, one on top of the other, and then pass both pieces through a loop at the bottom. Bring the bottom piece of ribbon over then under the middle area, then tie a knot.
