Try doing a Google of using a fork to tie a bow. The fork method is foolproof.

The fork method is wonderful for smaller bows,,,for larger bows, I recommend the vids Amy put up,,,,,,,

also, be sure to use WIDE ribbon for the larger bows,,,,,I love 1.5 inch wide ribbon,,,,,even 2 inches wide is good,,,,the wider ribbon just FLUFFS so much better

Here's a great instruction video by Kristina Werner on how to tie bows. It helped me a lot.

I have a bow template where you cut out the pieces and fold to make a really nice paper bow for a scrapbook page. You can only make the one size with this template. I bought it at JoANN's several years ago.

I think there is a "stampin up" way to make a bow on a card - first cut some slits in the paper then feed the ribbon through. Anyone know how this method works?

What kind of bow are you talking about?
Do you know how to tie your shoes? That kind of bow?

Here's a "cheater bow" that works for embellishing:

I second the Bow Easy. The small size (the one you would need) only costs $5. You can google it and find tutorials, etc. I don't tie a bow without mine! It offers several bow size options and styles.

Ditto on Becca's Bows! She does great videos!
I also have a video on my blog on an alternate way to add a bow or knotted bow anywhere on your layout! It's really easy!
