Introduction
Satin ribbon bows are a beautiful way to decorate your hair, clothing, or even gifts. They’re also very simple to make! This guide will show you how to make a satin bow with minimal effort and materials.
Lay the ribbon down on a flat surface.
Lay the ribbon flat on a cutting board or other flat surface. This is important because you want to make sure the bow will be symmetrical and balanced, which means that if one side of the ribbon is longer than another, then that end will hang lower when you’re done with it. If this happens, don’t worry! It’s easy to fix by adjusting your measurements so they are uniform throughout each piece of satin ribbon.
Fold over one end of the ribbon to create a loop.

The loop should be about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. It should be centered on the ribbon.
Pull the left side of the ribbon up and over the center of the loop you created.
Pull the left side of the ribbon up and over the center of the loop you created. Then flip your bow so that it is upside down, adjusting it so that it is even on both sides. Tie a piece of thread or string around your bow to hold it in place.
Flip the loop so that your bow is upside-down. Readjust it so that it’s nice and even on both sides.

Fold over another loop on top of the first one. Bring the right side of the ribbon over this second loop and flip it so that it’s right-side up again.

Adjust and fluff your bows before tying them in place with a piece of thread or string that matches your bow’s color.
Once the bow is in place, it’s time to adjust it. Make sure that the bow sits evenly on both sides of your headband (you may want to put it on again), and fluff out any ruffles or curls with your fingers. Finally, tie a piece of thread or string around both ends of the bow for added security.

This is a guide to making a simple satin ribbon bow. It’s easy to make one, and you can use it for so many things! You can use the bow to decorate a gift or present, or you can use it to decorate your hair by wrapping it around your ponytail. Satin ribbon is shiny and pretty and goes great with any color scheme.
This tutorial will show you how to fold the satin ribbon into an elegant bow shape that stays put when placed on top of something else (like a present). This style works well with most types of bows—it looks nice whether they’re big or small, fat or skinny—but if yours doesn’t turn out quite right no worries: there are plenty of other ways we’ll cover later in this guide!
Conclusion
That’s it! If you want to add some extra flair to your bow, try using different types of ribbon or trimming the edges with decorative scissors. You can also use this technique to make larger bows if you’re looking for something more extravagant.
