ID: Double Loop Fork Bow Created: December 4, 2014 Modified: At one of our recent quilling get together, one of the ladies taught us how to do fork bows... When using a fork, the ribbon should be very narrow. So I decided to use my quilling comb and that way I could use various widths of ribbon, just by adjusting how many prongs I weave over... plus I don't have to keep a fork on my desk ROFL. If you want to maker larger loops, then go over 3 or 4 prongs at a time. If you want to make 3 loop bow, then added 2 extra rows of weaving... Have fun. |
Step 1: starting the ribbon on the left side and weaving over every second prong for a total of 8 prongs. |
Step 2: Weave back towards the starting point.
|
Step 3: continue weaving to the 8th prong |
Step 4: Continue the weave back towards the starting point.
|
Step 5: the last weave and should end on the opposite side of starting point.
|
Step 6: we were shown using a small 4" piece of ribbon to tie around our bow, but I decided to use wire thread from Prima (can use floral wire or something similar.). Slip the wire at the top between the 4th & 5th prong and the other end at the bottom between the same 2 prongs. This is the mid point
|
Step 7: wrap and twist the wire as tightly as you can so it holds the loops securely. |
Step 8: remove from quilling tool.
|
Step 9: Use a bamboo skewer or something similarly as thin to create a coil, then remove from skewer. |
Step 10: repeat curling the other end and remove from skewer.
|
|
Step 11: bring the curls towards the bottom of bow. Decoratively cut off ribbon ends. Glue to project. |
