Zutter Bow-it-All * Bows with Printed Ribbon Video Tutorial

So, by now I think you all know how I feel about the Bow-it-All Tool from Zutter which we are now offering at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

But, just in case………

I LOVE IT!!!!!

Today I’m going to show you how to tie some gorgeous fluffy, loopy bows using ribbon that has printing on one side.

Here are two cards I created with the bows I made in the video.

The top card uses Black Satin Swiss Dots Ribbon.

I am entering the card above it the following challenges:

Zutter Bow-it-All

Bows with Printed Ribbons Tutorial

Here are some hair clips I made with some bows created while making the video.

Yup, it took me a few (dozen) tries to get a finished video I was pleased with so I have lots of pretty bows to use in future projects!!

Simply create your bow and either glue or sew it onto your choice of hair clips. We offer a wide variety of sizes of both French Clips and Snap Clips.

The bows below use 7/8″ Bright Pink Swiss Dots Grosgrain.

The cute little clippies below were made with

3/8″ Tutti Frutti Chevron Striped Grosgrain.

If you’ve been thinking about purchasing this awesome Bow-it-All Tool, now is the perfect time.

RRR October Blog Hop

Welcome to the RRR October Blog Hop.

If you arrived here from the Really Reasonable Ribbon’s Ramblings Blog, you are on the right track. If not, why not head back to the RRR Blog and start from the beginning so you don’t miss any of the terrific projects.

This month the Really Reasonable Ribbon Monthly Ribbon Club Assortment is a fun ‘non-traditonal’ Christmas mix. I just love all the pretty bright colors. Isn’t it fabulous??!

I started with a card……

Here is a close-up of my little bow. I made the bow on my Bow it All Tool. If you missed my first tutorial on the Bow it All, you can find it HERE.

I’ll be back with another video explaining how I handle ribbon with a print on one side soon.

And here is a close-up of my poinsettia. I just got this new die from Spellbinders and I love it!

My headband is made with one 3/8″ ribbon and one 5/8″ ribbon width. How did I handle that? I just folded a third of the 5/8″ ribbon under and used it that way. 🙂 Your starting lineup for this would be two confetti dots ribbons on the left side and on the right side of the x you will have the azalea ribbon on the top and confetti dots on the bottom. You can find a tutorial for the basic Woven Ribbon Headband HERE.

Here is a couple of sets of clippies I made.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Your next stop is Heidi’s terrific Blog.

I would love for you to leave a comment before you go.
