Ribbon Tying Video
Lisa asked for a ribbon tying lesson, here you go, Lisa!
Let's just say I will never be appearing On the Lot anytime soon! I also have a very patient teen director, thanks Morgan!
This little project took about 2 hours and this video was the best one of the bunch~ I hope that it makes sense to you. Crucial pointers: after doing your initial crossover, make sure you have your ribbons in the 12:00 and 6:00 position. Be sure you wrap your 6:00 piece up and around the back side of your 12:00 piece before threading through the hole to finish your knot.
Tying a bow is very similar, just make your ribbon loop with your 12:00 piece, and wrap your 6:00 piece up and around before pushing the ribbon through the hole.
Happy ribbon tying!

Great video, Val! Does it surprise you that I tie my ribbon the same way? LOL! That yummy May Arts ribbon helps tie a beautiful knot, too. I bet Morgan loved spending the day with you on Mother's Day weekend doing this!
wow! Thanks for helping all us ribbon-tying-challenged people! Who would have thought it would take 2 hours to shoot something so simple.
Great Job Val. I cannot thank you enough for showing me how to tire the ribbon. Happy Mother's Day! Bobbie
Your video will be a BIG help in learning to tie my bows better. Thanks. Linda
Thanks so much for the lesson is tying a ribbon. Def. a great help. Regards all the way from AUSTRALIA.
Great video, Val....why does tying ribbon/bows always seem so difficult? Thx for the help!
*Thank you SO MUCH*!!! This is wonderful, so clear. I think the 12 o'clock/6 o'clock hint was the best - that's where I've been going wrong. Thank you!!!!
Valerie,
Thanks so much for sharing the secret to a pretty tied ribbon. I must have watched the video 20 times! I think I have it down pat now. Cards look so nice with neatly tied ribbon! This way you don't have to tie a bow!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Val, it's an excellent video. Will you mind if I lead my customers to this the next time they sound frustrated with their ribbons? Great job!
I love that you made a video of this. Great job.
Val,
I can finally tie a decent bow on my cards, thanks to your great video!!!

Hi I hope you don't mind but I posted this on my stampin up blog and gave you credit. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for this video. Tying ribbon always frustrates me. Usually by the time I get it right I'm so aggrivated that I can't remember how I did it for the next time!
Very nice video but you could have sung a tune while you were doing it LOL.
Thanks for the video guide. I tried to tie a ribbon before on a card for mother's day. I sadly couldn't do it properly. I'm going to try again but follow this video guide.
