A decorative bow can turn any ordinary gift into a work of art. Extravagant looking bows are very deceptive in that many bows are easy to create yourself. Impress your friends and families by showing your decorative bows skills. Bows can often be used for more than just gifts. Bows can be used for decorations such as napkin rings or even fancy chandeliers! Just follow these instructions to make fancy rosette bows to adorn all of your packages.

Instructions:
1. Take your color choice and size of ribbon and wrap it around your hand 10 times. To make your bows fuller then just wrap the ribbon around your hand a few more times. To make a smaller rosette bow, just wrap around a few fingers instead of your hand.
