How to use a fork to make a bow
A large serving fork can be used as a type of loom for wrapping your ribbon to make a perfect little bow.
Materials:
- Large serving size fork
- Ribbon
Instructions:
- Wrap the ribbon around the fork so that one end of the ribbon is laying behind the fork, and other end of the ribbon is in front of the fork.
- Take the end of ribbon that is laying behind the fork, bring it around to the front, and pass it between the middle two tines of the fork, BELOW the ribbon in the front.
- Take the other end of the ribbon that is in the front, and pass it between the middle two tines of the fork, ABOVE the rest of the ribbon in the front.
- Turn the fork over and tie the two ends of the ribbon tightly. I found it helpful in this step to adjust the ends of the ribbon so they were hanging as I would want them to look in the finalized bow. You may even want this side to be the front of your bow.
- Remove the bow from the fork and trim the ends as needed.
