Large pull bows were my choice to sit atop gift baskets before I attended a bowmaking class in the early 1990s at the California Gift Show.
That’s where bowmaker extraordinare, Juanita Lewis, conducted a tutorial guiding about 30 attendees to make bows during the 45-minute event.
At the end, our bows were grand and beautiful even though everyone thought “the other person’s bow” looked better. I was thrilled and remember bringing the bow home in hand on the 3,000 mile flight.
My first How to Make a Bow video, which you can watch through this link, has been an online favorite for several years. I’ve updated that video, which you can watch above, to include two types of ribbon.
You’ll find more information about where to find ribbon on this page at GiftBasketBusiness.com and more video tutorials at GiftBasketVideo.com.
Where did you learn to make your first bow? Was it at a craft store, watching a tutorial that played on a screen? Did a Web video show you the basics?
