Pass the left strand over the right, then under and up behind Pull to secure, keeping the 'X' shape you have created, and put the now TOP strand out of the way over the brides shoulder With the BOTTOM strand, create a loop angled to the left, dont worry too much about the size of the loop Now FLIP IT over the the right (this is the key to success!) Keep hold of this with your left hand, and now DROP the TOP strand down in front, you should start to see your bow take shape Feed this strand through the space that your fingers have created (holding the first loop) between the loop and the 'X' Pull through just enough to match the first loop size Now PULL TIGHT, it has to be super secure as you don't want it coming undone during the walk down the aisle
