Step 1

Cut a piece of ribbon, then loop it around the fork and it should form a V as shown in this video, and bring the ribbon tail underneath over to the middle slot.

Step 2

Put the tail under and over to the top pushing it through the middle slot, then cross it together with the other ribbon tail, and tie them at the center in a neat and tight knot.

Step 3

Carefully remove the ribbon from the fork, then trim off the excess ends, and you’re done! You can now make more ribbons.
