I don't think you can tie personalized ribbons. At least all the ones I've seen you can't.

I don't have one infront of me, but I think you will get the idea.....
Take one end & fold it, other end and fold it.
You should have the words on each end/side.

Pinch in the center to form loops and tie with choice of ribbon. I used satin roses in center & used the wire to tie closed into the bow

I actually tied mine into little bows. I'll TRY to remember to take a pic later and post for you.

I actually did the same as Jenny2penny. I held the ribbon so that the names are facing me on the left and the date is on the right.


Here's what I did:

folding the ribbon in half (well kinda)
pinched down the middle to make 2 loops
and tied the loops as tying a shoe.

It took a while to get the bow perfect, but once it's tied you can adjust it by pulling and tightening where needed.

It's probably difficult to understand what I did so I will DEFINITELY try to remember that pic!

Good luck! It is definitely time consuming!

Maybe go to Michael's or Joanne's and see if someone there can help- or Patch Floral.

Take one end of the ribbon and and put it over the other so you form a loop on top and the printed ends are facing you
use a glue gun to put a little dot of glue to hold it together in the center

Then take the top of the loop and bring it down behind the center where it is pinched

add a little more glue to stick that to the center pinch

if you'd like you can glue a little flower right in the center of the finished bow
