Editorial Guidelines Published on May 20, 2015 Share Tweet Pin Email The Tools RibbonNeedle and threadGlue How-To Make a series of accordion folds (we used 1-inch folds), holding the folds in place with your fingers while you're working. Finish with both ends of the ribbon facing the same direction. Thread a needle and knot it, leaving a 1-inch tail. Pass the needle and thread through the layers, centered horizontally and slightly above the edge. Bring ends of thread together and knot them, close to the ribbon. Cut off any excess thread. Glue ends of the ribbon together, covering the knot. Shift the folds so they're evenly spaced. Press the center of the bow to flatten it, rotating the folds in one direction. Was this page helpful?
