A few readers were inquiring about how to tie a proper bow in my Gocco Invites Part II post.

Mrs. Bird of Paradise actually did a similar post a while back, so be sure to check that out!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I learned my lesson a little too late. You can hopefully tell from the picture above, the first two columns of bows look much better than the last two columns. While the bows in the first two column were symmetrical, the bows in the last two columns still looked like bows, but they were slanted. My problem was that I only made one loop, like I would when tying my shoelaces, but there’s a better way!

The Container Store has this helpful website that teaches you how (click over for the full tutorial).

Basically you need to make two loops and then do the bunny ears method.

Here’s a video I found on youtube.

Feel free to suggest some better options. Good luck!
