(Christmas Tree lights up) The process for making bows with ribbon for a Christmas tree can be broken down into several simple steps. First, cut two pieces of ribbon, each 15 to 20 inches long. Then, loop one piece of ribbon around your fingers and twist it into a loop. Next, loop the second piece of ribbon around the first loop, making a second loop on top of the first. Finally, tie the two loops together to create the bow. To finish, trim the ends of the ribbon so they are even and fluff the bow to give it a fuller look.
