PLEASE do more videos. Out of the million and one videos I've found on bow making, NONE of which worked for me by the way, yours was the absolute easiest to follow. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Three years later and I've finally found a bow tutorial that I can finally follow and finally make a pretty bow. If I could give you a million dollars, you would get it. Thank you so much for this.
She is a fantastic speaker....teacher. Explains things well. Not a bunch of chit/chat, straight to the how-to-s. Best "Big Bow" I have come across. One of the best video "people" I have heard.
Absolutely the best tutorial! This was all about the bow and so easy to follow since you can watch the whole process right before your eyes!!!! In fact, I was able to make my single-sided bow right along with the tutorial. No fast forward, no "go to my social media to see the complete version", and the camera was only on the project. BEST bow making tutorial ever!! Thank you, Maymay.
Excellent - You took your time to show us how to handle and hold the ribbon. Also, you went on to explain how you twist the ribbon when the front doesn't match the back. Showing exactly what you were doing allowed me to FINALLY make the perfect bow. Other channels don't go slow and do close ups. I really appreciate you!!!!
May May, let me start off by saying that I am not crafty nor creative. I do not enjoy creating things; I much prefer seeing something already made, falling in love with it and purchasing it. Having said that, I was in a pinch at my parents' house 400+ miles from my house where I would normally call upon my crafty and creative friends to whip up a bow for me. Your video was so AH-MAZING and allowed even ME to create the most magnificent burlap bow for a monogram I purchased for my parents' front door. I was so impressed with myself and I have YOU to thank! The ONLY thing I would add to your video would be to show and describe exactly how you turn and twist the loops to make the bow full and circular. I rewatched your video and played very close attention to your hands. It comes naturally to you but not to me, but I figured it out and feel my bow would definitely get your blessing. 😁 Thank you again! 😘 Lastly, I wanted to follow you on Instagram, but I don't think your link above is working. 😔 I will search for you.
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve watched. She was so thorough and inviting. Maymay, you are an amazing teacher. If she in person is anything like she is in this video, she is one awesome lady!
I agree, that this is the best tutorial on "how to make a bow" that I've ever watched!! I made my bow along with you. I was really impressed at how good mine turned out. Thank you Maymay
This is the BEST tutorial I have found on making bows. I have never found a tutorial explain the way you fold the ribbon. Really impressed with you video and I shall certainly try making bows again, as I had given up. Thank you so much for sharing.
This was so great,thank you so much I can't wait to start and finish my project. I want to make ribbons for my church doors. You made it look sooo easy...
I was just about to comment the same thing! Short video too that is right to the point. I personally am not going to watch a 30 min video on how to make an easy DIY bow...then why does it need to be 30 minutes?!? 😆 I actually watched this one last year and needed to be refreshed (only made a couple bows last Christmas). So glad I remembered who did this simple video and found it quickly.
OMG! Your tutorial is awesome! I was unable to make a simple little bow, let alone a multi-loop bow! You have saved my life! My bow-making life, that is! I'm forever grateful to you! Thank you so very, very, much!!! ❤️
Good Grief! In all my 71 years of living I've tried and tried to make bows. It just never happened. Your tutorial has finally showed me how. Thank you thank you thank you
Wow! Look at you all bowie and fun stuff... what a wonderful bow making video... If this were in an award show for bow making this would have won the award...
Just made one with one sided ribbon - this is absolutely the best and easiest way ever! I have never, ever been able to make ribbons for wreaths and now, well, I can and they look super-complicated! Thank you for your excellent tutorial! ❤❤❤
Oh wow! I cannot thank you enough for doing this tutorial! It’s all about the zip tie! I’m going out today to purchase zip ties! Oh, and that first loop! You did an amazing job teaching me how to correct my every struggle! Thank you, Thank you!!😊💜🤗
Best tutorial ever! I’m OCD, have common sense and have been doing every arts and crafts known to man for years but this large bow thing was a pain in the neck with all of the twisting and bunching and bulking up, as instructed in practically every other video. This one was simple and to the point and my first try looked amazing! You’re a good orator as well, easy on the ears!
I have made bows most of my life and they turn out great, but this technique is so much easier than how I’ve done it for years. Thank you so much for sharing. You are very clear in your instructions. 🎀
I never comment on RU-vid. I have searched and searched on tutorials on how to make bows. I’m so happy I came across yours. I have now made 3 perfect bows with out any problem. I have even shared your video with friends. You made it so easy! Thank you!! I feel like I can now make any type of wreath and add a bow no problem.
After watching MANY videos to make bows for my fence posts, yours is by far the easiest and most effective. You sound like someone I could be friends with! Very warm and engaging. Thanks for your good work!!
OMG MayMay you did it again! you are an amazing teacher! I feel like I can learn anything by watching you.I have ADD and I struggle to learn some things.Not with u, you explain everything slowly and clearly and I can understand it! TFS these videos have got me excited about crafting again.Something I haven't done in years.THANKYOU AGAIN.LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT TUTORIAL....
Yes! I want to match your excitement! I'm happy for you. Getting into crafting, especially during this change of seasons is so very exciting. It's lovely to get tutorials from MayMay. But more than anything, it's great to get inspiration. And your comment says to me that you're inspired! Her clear instructions and cheery attitude make that possible. Happy crafting!
I almost cried. Can’t believe I made this bow. Though I didn’t have any zip ties, I did use the last 6 inches to tie around the center super tight and that did the trick. I used burlap ribbon with wire. So pretty. Thank you for making this possible!
4 years. 4 years I have been trying to make a darn tree topper bow. 4. I have wasted all the ribbon. Thank you. You made bow making the best and most smooth process. I want to cry.
thanks for taking the fear out of making bows. You were so generous to share your time and give us such great direction. I love your color choices and your bows.
MayMay you're a genius, what a great tutorial! It used to take me hours to make a few bows! Very easy to follow video and the results are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Finally!!! A bow making video I can actually do!! A million thank you’s. I was just about to give up after attempting 10 other bow making tutorials and then I stumbled on yours. You are right, the zip tie is key!
Whoa! Very, very, very helpful! It took me 30 years to figure out how to make a bow and this video has just enhanced what I do-high five! Signed, Crafting in Winfall, NC
A simple plastic tie wrap. For years and years I have struggled making bows and in one short video, you have simplified my bow-making life. Kudos to you girl!
I was about to give up on making bows until I saw this! You explained more clearly and concisely than I've ever seen before. I've got it and thanks to you! God bless and Merry Christmas!
Great video - thank you! I have been watching videos to learn this process and yours is the BEST!! Clear voice (easy to listen to) with concise clear directions. I will search but I hope you have more videos!! Thanks so much.
Oh my goodness, zip ties, ingenious! This is such a blessing to learn. Many thanks for sharing this! I will certainly be taking advantage of your knowledge!
Thank you!I you are a good instructor and I appreciate the time is spent on the project.some we can go several minutes saying hello and explaining all the tools etc...this is a great video
OMGOODNESS you are amazing! You break that down so that we can follow your instructions. Plus you make this so do-able!! I have never seen a bow tutorial even half this good! AMAZING! Thank you
THANK YOU!! I've been watching some RU-vidrs this morning as want to conquer a darn bow. Your method is easy to follow and you explained very well. I do wish I had the double sided but don't, as would be easier for me hands down, but I thank you again. Now to 🙏 while I get to it!! ☺️
I have watched and watched bow making ribbon tutorials for a few years now and never really got the hang of it, but you made it so that every step was clear and now I think I finally got it! I cant wait to try it tonight once I'm done with home chores and make some beautiful ribbons for the decorations inside and outside! Wish me luck and thank you!
I have always had a horrible time making bows and just ruined ribbon unmercifully. THIS tutorial has changed everything. I can make bows as easy as anyone else now. Thank you so much!
Maymay I’m so thrilled I found you... you are totally awesome my bow for my wreath came out perfect because. I take It really serious. So I’m loving my BOW THANKS, MINNIE
Wow, excellent tutorial. I just installed a new split rail fence in my front yard and wanted to put bows on the posts for the holidays - intimidated at first, have all the ribbon - but now watching this - easy peasy!! Thanks so very much
Wow I know I can do this and won't have to worry about forgetting how to do it this way. Without the part where you adjust the loops to make the bow full THIS is the way I've made my bows 🎀 when I wrapped presents! TY for sharing and for all the tips!
WOW, Beautiful presentation n well explained...One of the best I have seen so far....I love the way you explained every step...Thank you n many blessings to you n your family!!!!

This is the most easily understood method I have found! You are an amazing teacher and made this process SO easy for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ♥️ Merry Christmas! 🎄 May God Bless you & your family! 🙏🏻
WOW!!!! This was fantastic!!! What a GREAT idea with zip ties!! I love how you explain things as you make the bows. I also like how you don't chit chat about your dog, neighbor or whatever, you get to the point and show us your great work and how we can do the same....THANK YOU AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Thank You ! This is the best video on RU-vid showing how to make a bow. I have never made a bow before and with your video you made it super easy.I would never have done it without your video !
Omgosh! You are AWESOME! BEST VIDEO EVER!! I am a hands on learning person and you made this so easy for me. Believe me I have seen many video and yours was great. Thank you!
Thank you so much. You are great at showing how to make bows. It is so kind of you all to share this talent. You are real fine at it. Thank you again for making fun at bow making.
I just. Watched your video Omggg U r. my new best friend!! Lollll I never ever could do bows for my wreaths.. Today.. I tried your way and omggg in did it the first time!! Thank you. I'm not scared of bows anymore!! Great job
Oh hon this really helped me. Thank you so much. You really explained it simple and showed us how to do it also. Love you voice. Country like mine. I'm from Oklahoma. And your videos are never boring. ❤️
Miss MayMay, you get 100 likes from me. You were very clear and thorough. You are truly a super teacher. I feel like I can be a bow making queen. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. Now I can't wait to start making my CHRISTmas bows now.
I have always wanted to make bows. My Mama was an expert and my sister picked it up easily but not me! I have watched so many diy tutorials that I about gave up until I saw yours! You make it so easy and you are so encouraging! I made one tonight and cried because it was beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talents!
Great video tutorial. Love the way you gave tips on what to buy to simplify the ribbon making as well as taking us visually and not just verbally through the steps. I had seen several RU-vid videos that assumed the viewer knew many of the steps. Thanks!
One of very few bow tutorials I've seen that was easy to follow. You didn't talk down like some teachers do (as if we have no experience) and made it look like everyone can do it. Just started following you and will be sure to continue. I'm intimidated by bows and usually end up with ugly ones or purchased ones. Love the zip tie idea. My hands are not very strong and I have been using wire which is hard to use. Thanks again.
great tutorial on making bows. I have always had a hard time, however this looks like I could do it. Do you have a video on using two ribbens of different patterns?
I used her method with 2 ribbons (first time making a bow, ever). It was pretty easy. Prior to doing the bow I took both the ribbons, pinched them with my thumb and middle finger, measured it out to my elbow, made a crease of that measurement and folded it in that length 13 times around. This gave me a good size bow for my wreath and I had room for my tail. I wish I could share the picture.
