HOW TO MAKE A GIANT BOW {TUTORIAL}

This has definitely been the season of the big bows in my home.  BIG bows!  I made 3 versions that I used when decorating for Christmas, and 2 of those are pulling double shifts for Valentine's Day, so I'd say they were worth the effort!  Today I'll share my tutorial with you of the process I used to make my giant bows.  I'll start by saying my bows were all inspired by a bow that John Mark made for his shop and posted about last year.  He did a great video tutorial that you can watch on IG that I followed almost exactly for the paper green plaid bow that I made first.

Flip Straw || Striped 30......
