Lately I have seen these gorgeous ribbons wrapped around cards and layouts and tied beautifully … and I wouldn’t have a clue as to how it make it work. What type(s) of ribbon are best? Can someone give me directions?! I love the look! I’m a bow rookie!

Thanks girls I know someone here will have the skills!

Oh, so that’s it.  I’m going to go try it.  Thanks!  I snip bows off packages from the back (leaving the pre-tied bow intact) and put them on my layouts, <shrug>, this might give me a use for all the ribbons I collect!

my mom always told me if you want to tie just a regular bow to tie it upside down, like from the opposite direction of the way the tails will point. it works. but that’s all i can tie is a regular bow. going to check out this cps demo.
