One of my most asked questions...

Probably one of my most asked questions this time of year is how to tie various types of bows.
Several people are like myself and can't stand the premade, 50 bows in a bag, type of bows and they want to create something beautiful to adorn their gifts during the holidays.  

This website shows how to create just about any type bow you'd ever need.
I must throw caution out there that making nice bows (especially during the holidays when there are many packages to wrap)... isn't a cheap venture. Just the sheer volume of ribbon needed to make a nice fluffy bow is sometimes one whole roll!  

I get a lot of my wired ribbon at the Dollar Tree this time of year.  They usually have a nice selection and you won't break the bank on packaging when you've already spent money on the gift itself.  Also, while you're there, you can pick us inexpensive trinkets to attach to the bows to make your packaging more interesting.

Here's to having packages that your loved ones ALMOST don't want to open!
