The bow is an ornament fashioned from ribbons.  It is usually handmade but there are machines that will make bows fast and easy. Bows are used for hair ornaments, to add accent on gift packaging, enhance a garment, or create a home décor.  We even see pets with bows adorning their furry heads.

A bow may look complicated but it is really easy to make. There are many ways of making a bow. Some are pretty complicated and use up a lot of ribbons. For the simplest technique, all you need is to gather a length of ribbon in a loop.  The size of the loop will depend on the size of bow you need.  Pinch it in the middle and tie with twine.  Twist each loop while spreading it in different directions.  You will have a beautiful bow in no time at all.
