Instructions on how to measure for single designs on bow
loops:
Please decide in advance, which type of bow you would like to customize. Fold your
bow, creasing the center as you would and hold it temporarily with a clip. With a pin
or clip, mark the CENTER position on the loop (or loops if more than one) where you
would like your image to show on the bow – that’s the center point of image. If you
don’t have the ribbon cut off the roll yet, go ahead and mark the end of the ribbon
tails and unfold your bow. I would suggest adding about an inch to each end to have
a bit of a “buffer” zone when cutting.
Measure your total length of ribbon for the bow from end to end. Mark the center of
ribbon, and then measure from the edge to the center point of image, where the
customization will be applied. Make sure to specify if the image is to be placed to
the right or left of the center.
Here’s an example (and I will be adding photos to illustrate the steps):
I’m folding a 3 inch boutique bow from 7/8” ribbon – four loops, no tails. I’m tying
mine from an 18 inch piece of gros-grain (so no measuring there, I know the total
length – or measurement 1). I fold and crease my bow, pinning the center
temporarily. I fluff my “finished” bow and mark the center of where the image will
be with a pin. Then I disassemble the entire bow. I’ll leave a pin in the very
center, and measure from the end (either left or right) to the center point of
image - where the image will be applied (that’s measurement 2) , and double
check by measuring from the center of the bow to the image (measurement 3).
Those are the specifications needed to send in – sounds a bit complicated but is
very easy.
So, in the above example you would order 18 inches of ribbon – plus 1 inch per
side to make sure you have a bit of a safety zone = 20 inches, and you will then
multiply by however many bows you’d like to make.
This is the cheapest way to measure your need for personalized ribbon if you’d
like to place images on the loops and it will guarantee that you will not be
wasting any ribbon, it also assures that the placement is just right if you want
more than one image applied.
