How Do You Make Extra Large Bows?
Extra large bows accessorize oversized packages and gift items. Make your own extra large bows to fit the top of a car or the top of a large box. Select wide satin ribbon to make an extra large bow with fluffy loops. Ribbon is sold by the spool. It takes approximately 10 yards of ribbon to make a large 10-inch wide fluffy bow. To make extra large bows, purchase a 50-yard spool of satin ribbon. Measure the space where you plant to place the bow to determine the overall desired width of the loops in the center of the bow. From the tip of one center loop to the tip of the other is the widest part of the bow. Unroll several yards of ribbon from the spool. Do not cut the ribbon. Make a loop at the beginning of the ribbon strip equal to half of the overall desired width of the bow. Hold the tip end of the ribbon flush against the ribbon at the base of the loop. Make another loop in the opposite direction that’s the same size as the first loop. Keep the sides flush. Clip the ribbons together
