you

 

how

 

different

 

ribbons

 

and

 

finger

 

placement

 

create

 

beautiful

 

bows.

 

Each

 

time

 

I

 

make

 

something

 

I

 

think

 

you

 

will

 

also

 

enjoy,

 

I

 

post

 

it

 

as

 

a

 

bow

 

recipe!

 

We

 

strive

 

to

 

take

 

the

 

guess

 

work

 

out

 

of

 

bow

 

making

 

and

 

show

 

the

 

wide

 

range

 

of

 

bows

 

that

 

can

 

be

 

made

 

using

 

The

 

Hand.

 

However,

 

you

 

will

 

certainly

 

want

 

to

 

experiment

 

for

 

yourself!

 

We

 

would

 

love

 

to

 

hear

 

from

 

you

 

and

 

post

 

your

 

wonderful

 

creations

 

on

is

 

the

 

base

 

finger,

 

or

 

the

 

center

 

of

 

the

 

bottom

 

of
