[how to do about Parties & Entertaining] How to Make an Offray Florist Bow
lily Green
An offray florist bow can be used to decorate gifts and church pews, as well as adorn candlabras and church doors. These bows are quite easy to make and require very little skill- just a little practice!
Repeat this process to form at least three loops on each side.
Now make a 5" loop, which is about half the size of a finished bow and pinch tightly. If the ribbon is one-sided, you can twist the length to right side. Next, make a second loop and pinch over the first two pinches.
Next, make a center knot by forming a small loop over your thumb. Pinch and wire all of the loops together and trim the excess ribbon.
At about 8" from one end of ribbon, firmly pinch the ribbon between your thumb and index finger. Make sure that the right side of the ribbon is facing up.
Attach 14" of ribbon length to back of the bow for tails using your wire. You can now attach the ribbon to a pew clip or any fixture using your floral wire.
Secure the bow by wrapping the floral wire around all of the loops and pull it to the back. You can adjust the loops of the bow before twisting the wire tightly in the back.
