DIY: ribbon bow ring

November 7, 2011 lalafauxbois

Here’s a super easy D.I.Y. for a bow ring. I made this with ribbon and embroidery thread but any fabric scraps would be cute!

Supplies needed:

• 4″ piece of ribbon (mine is 1″ wide grosgrain)
• embroidery floss
• needle
• adjustable ring (ring should be adjustable because the embroidery thread makes the ring fit smaller)
• glue (optional)

First fold the ends of your ribbon to the center, overlapping a little. Stitch through all the layers. Next, I wrapped the ribbon a few times with the embroidery floss, pinching it in a bow shape.

I put a dot of glue (E6000 or hot glue work) on the ring base and attached the bow. This is optional but helps keep it in place while you wrap it. Thread a needle with a long piece of the floss and wrap it around the ring and the bow a bunch of times, until it feels secure and you like the look of the center.

Tie the ends a few times in the back and you’re done!
