Christmas Funky Bow Tutorial 2018

- In this Funky Bow Tutorial 2018, I show how I take 3 different ribbons and make a beautiful custom funky bow for my Christmas decor. I show how easy and inexpensive it is to make a bow using the Funky Bow technique.
I cut 3 different ribbons 28 inches long and chevron the ends of the ribbons.
Fold ribbon into and make a loop (bow) that is 5 inches long this will give you 10 inch tails.
If you do not have double sided ribbon twist the back ribbon forward.
Alternate the direction of the loops (bows) turn one right side up and the next one down until you run out of ribbon.
You can have 3 ribbons going one way and then alternate the next 3 ribbons. However, alternating the ribbons gives a much prettier bow I think.
You can use all the same ribbon if you want.
Take a chenille tie and put it around the ribbons twisting tightly in the back.
This really works!! I’m lousy at bows. I even got a machine to help. No luck. Tried this method and I made an absolutely gorgeous bow first time out!
Aww, I am so glad! 😘🐕
Four a solid 5 years I have not been able to make a bow to save my life and for the first time ever I made it and I’m in SHOCK !! I did it!! It’s perfect!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!! You are forever my craft sister 😊😊😊
Love your colors....shape is good as well BUT sooooo many ends. You could actually have a few more loops and less ends. I worked for a gift basket company for ten years. Customers would bring in their ribbon for me to make their bows. The owner charged them $6 just for me to make them with customers own ribbon. I made hundreds of bows from early November until Christmas. I love bows .....
The best one I have seen so far. Great job. Charlotte in Arkansas
A very good demonstration of a funky bow thank you so much may God continue to bless you and your family from your friend Ella from Tennessee:-).
Lovely teacher, MsxMahnolia, just wonderful bow and very easy to understand you. God bless you always. Happy Thanksgiving! A friend from Texas, almost 80 years old and still learning!!!
Hi, you are so sweet! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! Take care my friend. Tawnyah Xoxo
I like the fact you don't have to purchase anything but the ribbon. Most of these videos require bow makers, etc. I usually only decorate for the Christmas season and dont want to make bows the rest of the year. I know I can do this.
Thanks for patiently and methodically going step by step through the process. I have NEVER made a bow EVER. And, the two I made for some Christmas lanterns actually turned out very nice. I'm not ashamed to display them this holiday season...lol
Hi, oh I’m so happy! I hope you have a very merry Christmas! Xoxo
I have made bows before but it wasn't looking right so did a search here. I was trying 3 colors together already, so this video was perfect .It turned out great-thanks! I don't want to be one of those people who don't follow the recipe [haha] but made a few tweeks in case others are interested. I ended up with 3 pieces left [1 of each color] in the end, so just added those in. I needed the scale of my bow a hair bigger so did 6 inch loops.Thanks again for making it so easy and soooo cute!
great bow but love how you showed how easy .Nice job ,,
.
😘
This bow is gorgeous!! Thank you for giving us tips that are easy and don’t make it look like it’s killing your hands to make it!! You always have such good tips! 😍🙏😃😃
Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! You are so sweet! Xoxo
Wow you make it so doable how to do gorgeous bows. Thanks for teaching us and sharing your creative talent.
It truly is the easiest way I know to make a beautiful bow! Take care. :-)
Thank you so much for showing how to make a beautiful "funky" bow. I never would have thought of a different ribbon loop on each side. You really are a good instructor. Am doing Christmas wreaths, etc now and can hardly wait to try this
Thank you so much for all the sweet comments! Enjoy! Xoxo
That bow is so pretty! Thank you for showing us how to make it!
I love how clear your instructions are. So easy to follow. Turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing my dear friend.😃
Oh, that is so sweet of you to say! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video. Take care my dear friend. :-)
Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing
I love watching I've been making both since I was 10 and I'm 68 my grandmother taught me years ago but I love this new funky bow because you can use scraps and things like that and just do all kinds of things you never know what you're going to end up with but your bow is absolutely gorgeous I love the combination of all three of the designs in the ribbon and yes I agree I used to have to use it no wired ribbon in it it's not the same it is absolutely beautiful
I'm more or less retired now but I used to that was my signature was making bows big little it didn't matter what kind it didn't matter and of course I did them all by hand no machines no anything but I love your crazy so I forget what you called it but I really do enjoy watching you and I liked your presentation thank you for sharing happy holidays
I made bows yesterday from your tutorial yesterday. I used my bow maker to hold everything in place. They are the most prettiest bows ever! Thank you!!!
Enjoyed seeing how to make such a simple, but beautiful bow!!!
What a great technique for a FABULOUS bow!
You are very clear in your instructions, this is very helpful. Thanks for a great video.
Oh I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video! Take care. :-)
Hey I always come back each year for a quick tutorial update for my funky bows for each Christmas. Love this bow
Love your technique, Beautiful! Joyce from Huntsville Alabama
😘🎄
Omgosh ive been watching bow tutorials all day and this is the easiest! Thank you!
Beautiful funky bow! I am so happy you shared this. I have never been able to make bows! You are talented. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Oh, I’m so happy that you liked it! This is truly the easiest way I know to make a beautiful bow. Take care. :-)
Thank you for your lovely bow video. I would like to make a suggestion, though. Why not fold all the ribbon strips in half and pinch it where you want to before you start making the bow? That way you don't have to fiddle with those two steps while you are holding the bow in your other hand? Also, frequently I could not see what you were doing b/c you camera was not positioned properly which was quite frustrating. Otherwise, you bow looks absolutely beautiful!
I do all kinds of ribbon multiple ribbons hand tie. I like your choice of ribbons...
Thank you so much for this! I was able to make an amazing Xmas bow for my lantern in about 12 minutes. I wish I could post a pic of it for you to see! Your method is the only one I’ve been successful with! So much better than messing with my wooden bow maker or pinching and twisting the old fashioned way for 20 minutes only to drop half of it. Also, your way makes it way easier to fluff the bow. Thanks again!
Love your tutorial. It truly is the easiest way I’ve seen to make a bow like yours. I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, you just blew all the others on here as I live in a hospital bed in my apartment due to a house fire in Jan. 19th of 2018 after loosing my husband exactly one week after Thanksgiving 2017, unexpectedly! and lived in a shelter for 8 mth's. after the fire where I lost all the trees and years of collecting ornaments as I decorated every room in the house even small themed trees in my bathrooms! Since then I haven't thought about even putting up a tree..till the year but on what I make a month i'd never be able to afford even a tree and the ornaments and lights, but I sit here on a laptop that a friend traded my kitchen aide mixer 1 of the few things to be in the cabinets to survive the fire and all I have done since fall is to watch videos of the beautiful things that they have made constantly and ... my Beautiful one not one comes close to your beautiful bows that I so wish, I am not sure why that I too long to have a tree and so many of the beautiful things I have watched you make i find myself wanting to also make this year! I never know how to do like I used to do hitting all the deals at Micheal's and Hobby lobby and after Christmas I'd have everything I was waiting on to go on clearance at Pier One but today i can't see any of it happening again however i wanted you to know that I crown you the classest and the best at following through on a thought ...until that though was a beautiful finished project! God bless you and all those that you hold dearest to your heart and "MERRY CHRISTMAS"!
Thank you so much for the sweet sweet comments! I am so sorry for all your loss it breaks my heart. I pray that everything works out wonderful for you. You are such a sweet sweet person. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Take care and God bless. Hugs :-)
I love this way to make bows. They turned out great....TFS
It is such an easy way to make a beautiful bow! Take care. :-)
The best "FUNKY" bow making ever! Great job❤👍❤!
Do you ever make this same bow with larger loops & longer tails? If so, what length would you recommend for the initial length to cut the ribbon?
Love the tutorial! You explained it very clearly! I did a practice one & love how it turned out!
Thank you!
BEAUTIFUL!! FUNKY BOW, THANK YOU SO MUCH I THINK I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL BOW!! THANKS TO YOU!! LOVE IT!!❤💚❤💚❤

I love this tutorial. Beautiful bow! Thank you for sharing! I'm going to use this technique with my Bow Dabra because I have arthritis in both thumbs and index fingers so holding it I could never do. Thanks again!
Love it. All your videos are very instructional and wonderful.
Thank you so much for your sweet comments! Take care. :-)
I got it! I was so confused with the other tutorials I watched. You made it clear. Thank you.
What beautiful Work! I am getting my ribbon out now. I can only hope mine will be even 50% as pretty as yours!
Hi such a beautiful bow. One question, how wide is the ribbon you're using, it looks like 2/2.5"? And can this be made with a smaller width ribbon. Sorry two questions! I'm so glad I discovered your channel. You are detailed in your explanation of instructions. Makes it so much better. Thank you
Seriously, this is the best funky bow tutorial I have watched. Thank you.
I finally understand how to make a bow. I have watched so many videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Aww, you are very welcome! Glad I could help! 😘🐕
@@TheMagnoliaHousewife I'm all set.
You are so good at this. I've watched you a couple of times now making these bows, but I'm afraid to try it. Maybe if I watch it a couple more times I'll be able to do it. It sure looks beautiful when you're finished.
It really is easy I know you could make a beautiful bow in no time! Take care. :-)
This is so beautiful! Does anyone know if the striped one is from Lowe’s? The other two look like they’re from Hobby Lobby. I’m making a Grinch tree with Grinch garland, and this is perfect! Thank you so much!
Hi, I think I picked that up at Joann fabrics I’m not sure. 😘🐕

Hi Tonya, I just found your 2018 Bow making with Christmas Ribbon and found it very helpful. I seem to have a hard time making pretty bows for Christmas Wreaths and other crafts too , so this was a big surprise to have found this episode. I also watched your Christmas tasting candy episode of 2021, Maggie looks so cute in her elf sweater, and i am amazed how she loves wearing it. Most Dogs would want to pull it off! I find all of your topics fun and interesting to watch. Maggie is a cut up who always makes me laugh. Looking forward to more DIYs with Christmas and other holidays too.
Absolutely love your tutorial!! You’ve gone into my favorites.
Aww, thank you! 😘🐕

This very day I needed to make a bow and you popped up out of the blue! So easy to follow this way

Hi, love your funky bow. The ribbon you used is how wide? Also how many yards are on each spool? Thank you. Never made a bow like but am eager to try.
Thank you! The ribbon I had was 2.5 inches x 30 feet. I know your bow will be beautiful! :)

Besides teaching us, I sure hope you were a teacher. You would have been very good with students. The bow is so pretty. Great tutorial. Have a Blessed Day 😊
Aww, thank you so much for the sweet comments! Whenever we would get new nurses I would always have to teach them I guess that’s why it seems natural. Take care and have a blessed day. :-)
Love this . I think its clever easy and so cute..
😘
Finally a bow I think I can make. Thank you for the tutorial....
You’re welcome I’m glad I could help. It truly is the easiest way I know to make a beautiful bow. Take care. ☃️❄️🌲
I love your funky bow. Thank you for showing us how to make it. ❤️😊
You are very welcome I’m so happy that you enjoyed the video! Take care. :-)
What is the total yardage per ribbon that you need? I understand 3 rolls, but aren't those in different lengths.
How wide was your ribbon?
Thank you. So much easier! Wow this year will be so easy. Thank you.
Hi I usually try to get rolls that have 10 feet on them. The ribbon can be different widths it does not matter or it can all be the same width. Look in the description box below my video and you’ll see the lengths I cut each ribbon. It really just depends on how big you want your bow to be as to how long you cut the ribbon. Hope this helps.😘
TY! Knew what I was after, couldn't find it until THIS video. Merry Christmas 🎅
I’m so glad I could help! Merry Christmas! Xoxo
it would make 9 loops, right? 3 ribbons X 3 loops
Beautiful ribbon
Love this!! Thank you so much for your lesson on the bow!! I will definitely try this. Also, I’ll watch this a few more times just to be sure!! Thanks for sharing!!
It so simple and still so beáutiful.thanks for good ❤️
And this is James from Dallas Texas and I give you five thumbs up if I could
Aww, thank you! 😘🐕
so excited to try this bow, just wondering if there a version of this bow where we can see what you're doing when you say alternating? Sorry A lot of it is out of camera view!?
Hi, sorry for the delay here is a link to one of my video's:th-cam.com/video/yYoG23CUYLI/w-d-xo.html :)
Wonder if those that have hand troubles could put two or three together and have clothes pins hold them until you are finished all, then put together?
I think you probably could do that or find a chip clip that is very narrow and use that. ☃️❄️🌲
I wish so much of this hadn't of been out of frame. I'm a very visual learner. Is there a way to remake this video sometime? I love the outcome, just need to see it made, lol
Thank you so much! Yes, I’m going to do another funky bow when I decorate my tree in my dining room. Xoxo
Beautiful. Great choice of ribbon.
I absolutely love this bow!! Very “Funky “!!
