Fork Tying Bow tutorial

Fork Tying Bow
Fellow demonstrator Becky Sutton shared this tutorial and I thought it was
a great refresher on this technique.

Fork1
Using 7″ of
ribbon, place around a fork, left over right, in what resembles the breast
cancer symbol.

Fork2
The end that’s on
the top then gets threaded between the center tines to the back.

Fork3
That same end gets
brought up between the center tines to the front.

Fork4
Bring it down over
the other ribbon.

Fork5

And tie in a knot. 
Fork 6

Pull very taut! This is the back of the bow. Slide bow off of fork, turn over, trim edges and you have the perfect little bow!

Fork7

You can create larger bows by using a larger fork – or anything that resembles it. You can also loop your ribbon around multiple times to get a darling fluffy bow! I like to use Glue Dots to adhere my bows to projects
