The

 

style

 

of

 

the

 

bow

 

is

 

determined

 

by

 

mixing

 

the

 

use

 

of

 

fingers

 

on

 

different

 

rows,

 

an

 

example

 

of

 

this

 

will

 

follow.

The

 

bow

 

pictured

 

in

 

Figure

is

 

a

 

basic

 

3

ribbon

 

bow

 

using

 

1

 

yard

 

 

24

 

inches

 

of

 

each

 

ribbon.

 

The

 

ribbon

 

is

½

 

inches

 

wide

 

or

 

#40

 

ribbon.

 

This

 

is

 

a

 

very

 

nice

 

large

 

package

 

bow!

 

You

 

will

 

also

 

need

 

1

 

piece

 

of

 

26

gauge

 

wire

 

cut

 

to

 

about

 

18

 

inches.

Sit

 

the

on

 

your

 

work

 

surface

 

with

holder

 

sitting

 

on

 

the

 

Right

 

Always

 

even

 

if

 

you

 

are

It

 

is

 

a

 

right

movement.

 

You

 

will

 

be

 

using

 

both

 

hands

 

equally!

 

Next,

 

place

 

the

 

fingers

 

in

 

position,

 

the

 

flat

 

end

 

goes

 

in

 

the

the

of

 

the

goes

The

 

ends

 

of

 

the

 

fingers

 

are

 

tapered

 

so

 

the

easily

 

glides
