Ready to grab your glue gun and get crafting? 🎀

 Supplies You’ll Need:

 

1. Create the Loops

First, cut 14", 10", and 7" strips and fold each one in half to form a loop. Add a small dot of hot glue where the ends meet to secure the loop. You’ll end up with three looped pieces, graduating in size.

2. Stack and Scrunch

Stack the loops on top of each other—largest on the bottom, smallest on top. Scrunch the center of all three loops together to create that full, classic bow shape.

Secure tightly in the center with a zip tie.

3. Add the Tail

Take your 25" strip, fold it in half, and glue the ends together just like you did with the loops.

Then fold it in half again (at the glue seam), scrunch the center, and zip tie it to the back of your stacked loops. These will be the flowing tails of the Lucy Bow.

4. Wrap the Center

To give your bow a finished, polished look, take your 4" strip of ribbon and wrap it around the center—covering the zip ties. Secure the ends with a dab of hot glue at the back.

And Just Like That…You’ve Made the Lucy Bow!

This satin stunner is all about that layered elegance and clean finish. Whether you’re adding it to a headband, a package, or a project, the Lucy Bow brings soft charm and a professional touch every time.
