We use a lot of wrapped bows in our class cards and folks often ask how we get them some nice and tight. Well, there is a trick, but it only works if the bow is around a piece that is layered. It is quite easy, actually. First, get a sturdy object like a hard plastic glass (that is my favorite tool). I am using one in the picture below. Simply cut a piece of ribbon, wrap it around the glass and tie a bow. The sturdy object allows you to tie a nice, tight bow and adjust as necessary.
Now all you need to do is slide the ribbon piece down the glass and then cut the ribbon loop. This is what you will "wrap" around a layer (like in the cat Valentine's card in the previous post). It is easy and pretty fool-proof! Give it a try!
