I thought it might be fun to do a blog series featuring a variety of bows. The first bow I chose to feature is the finger bow. I've always liked the look of the fork bow but didn't like being limited by the size of the fork so my solution was to use my fingers.
Ribbon: This bow is suitable for almost any ribbon because you can
adjust the size of the bow.
Length: Approx. 12” but will depend on the type of ribbon and how
large you make your bow.
1. Wrap the ribbon around your fingers like you would a scarf.
2. Take the tail that’s on top and stick it in the gap at the
base of the ”V “ made by your fingers.
3. Bring the tail up over the top and tie the two ends in a
knot.
GORGEOUS card! The shiny gold and your beautiful ribbon look wonderful. TF making a video to demonstrate how to make a finger bow. I'll be trying this technique pdq. Maybe now I'll be able to make a decent bow. :)
