Tutorial

The tutorial is broken down into two parts. First is the Halloween bow. The first two bows were made by the Terri Bow technique using the Probow. Terri Marshal of Mil & Dil Designs is a dear friend of mine and she created the Terri Bow technique. It makes a beautiful funky-style bow and it’s great for using assorted ribbons. Here’s that video link:

Halloween Bow Using the Terri Bow Technique and a Probow

The EZ Bowmaker was just to show that you can make the same kind of bow whether you use the Probow or EZ Bowmaker. Or, you can just free-hand a bow. You can do the same thing with a Bowdabra. The Bowdabra and EZ Bowmaker just hold the ribbon in place for you while you make your loops and tails.
