PINWHEEL BOW. A whirl of color here in lacy “Decorette.” Tie a pre-fab “Magic Bow” making only 6 or 7 turns for loop. Pull out all loops to one side (not left and right) and arrange (c).

c

Back row, left to right:

PETITE WREATH. Make Petite Bows the “Magic Bow” way with 1 yard of “Sasheen”. Use “tie” ribbon of contrasting color and knot to show. Tape bows to box.

POINSETTIA BOW. A crush-proof traveler. With 1 yard of “Sasheen”, make pre-fab “Magic Bow”. For petals, make cuts from outer edges toward loop end (d). Pull out bottom petals from left to right, twisting so shiny sides are up. Arrange top petals same way—no twisting needed. Nice touch: Tape ribbon pennants or leaves under bows.

d

TWO-IN-ONE BOW. Make pre-fab “Magic Bow” using off-center cut (e). Pull out long loops first and arrange in outer circle. Pull out shorter loops for a bow-within-a-bow the easy way!
