Things you need...
... to make Two-Loops Loopy Ribbon Bow.
- ribbon, how much?
- Tying wire 26 gauges, 100mm (4 inches) length, make a bent at center with your thumb,
- Scissors, and
- Wire snap.
Get ready for the loops
Trim your ribbon ends and remember to seal ribbon ends!
Then, mark A-C accordingly. Once you get the whole picture, you can just do without the markings.

The Up-Down Tails
With the wrong side (alphabets side) facing you...
|
Place point A on point B, turn point A almost 90 degree against point B. |
 |
|
Bring point C on point A. Again, turn point C to make both tails are parallel but in the opposite directions. |
 |
The Tails Down
With the wrong side (alphabets side) facing you...
|
Place point A on point B, turn point A almost 90 degree against point B. |
|
|
Bring point C on point A. Adjust point C such that both tails form a thin and tall "V" shape. |

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.
