Double Bow Instructions





      Just like the Basic Bow, the techniques for this bow, could not be simpler. Try experimenting with complimenting or contrasting fabrics to give you an elegant yet vibrant look!


Follow the directions for the Basic Bow. Make two same size bows, in this manner. (It is usually best to make the “back bow” without a center loop).
Attach the center bow by pushing the ends of the wire through the separation in the loops of the back bow.
Add a small dot of hot glue of fabric glue in between the two bows. Twist the two wires together to form a tight center. Twist the two wires together to form a tight center. Fluff the loops and straighten the tails.
Accessories, such as flowers, greenery, or trinkets, can be added now, if desired.
Use these bows to decorate cars, doors, lampposts, wreaths, baskets, bouquets, or pews– you name it! If these bows are to be used as pew bows. Slip each wire through a pew clip and bend the wire down to secure. Pew clips help to prevent scratching the pew’s surface.

Helpful Tip: When making a double bow, consider using two contrasting bows. Whether contrasting in color or texture, they are sure to compliment and show off one another’s best traits.
