Repeat with your 2nd 2 ½” ribbon, this time starting in the opposite direction with your tail facing to the top right. Making the loops slightly shorter.

Next, repeat the same process using the 3rd 2 ½” wired ribbon. This time you’ll be going over the first set of loops that you did in step 2. Each loop will progressively be smaller than the last.

Repeat again using the next style of 2.5” wired ribbon. Remember, 6” tails with a slightly smaller loop than the last set. This time you’re following the loops from step 3.

You’ll finish off the bow with your 1st 2 ½” ribbon, this time only creating one loop.

Repeat step #1 with your 3rd 2 ½” ribbon.

Repeat with your 4th 2 ½” ribbon, this time starting in the opposite direction.

So you’re building out left, right, left, then right for a total of 2 loops on each side.
