Martha's Favorite Bow

I love my Martha Stewart, and I defer to her on most things crafty. This is how to tie the perfect bow for all your upcoming gift-giving.

STEP 1. Pass Ribbon over and under box, and back up sides. Thread both ends under top ribbon.

STEP 2. Tie a left-over-right knot, then shape two even loops.

STEP 3. Cross right loop over left. Thread right loop behind left, under, and up through hole.

STEP 4. Pull loops into a smooth knot. Adjust loops, trim tails to be slightly longer than loops.

And just like that....perfection in a ribbon!
