Place point A on point B with a slight angle down. |

The Center Accordion Fold
We need to make minimum three accordion folds. Look at the overall length of center, divide them into three imaginary parts.
What you need to achieve here is, both top and bottom edges of bow must be down fold. Then you are good. You are even better if you can make the edges of the back ribbon tug inside the up fold.

Fasterning the Center
Once you got hold of your fold, place the bended tying wire over the bow center.
Grasp the two ends of the wire with your right hand, grasp them as close as posible to the bow. Make a twist and hold on to it. Then, turn the bow with your left hand to twist the wire. This is easier than twisting the wire alone. Just five turns, five is good.
Snap off the long wire to leave behind about 5mm (1/4 inches) length tail, and just bend it down with your hand.
