The Perfect Shabby Rag Bow Tutorial

In this video, I share 2 techniques for making shabby rag bows. We will start with the tails first, before making the looped bow portion. For the cream bow, I used ivory colored cotton muslin, and drop cloth fabric. Both were 100% cotton, and cut into 19“ long by 8“ wide sections. The sections were then snipped and ripped to form rags for the tails of the bow. I also used 5, 19“ long pieces of lace to create the tails. You will need to set aside 2 of the rag tail pieces to tie off each part of the bow, and also cut 2 more 19“ pieces of lace to add to the looped portion of the bow. For the looped portion of the bow, I used approximately 2-1/4 yards of wired ribbon. I also used hot glue, a glue gun, and a button to accent the center of the bow. I used the same procedure for the checked bow, but cut my fabric sections one inch longer. I would love to hear how you plan on using your shabby bows in your decor!
