Watch how easy it to make basic to extreme hair bows (including the twisted boutique) with perky smooth loops using a shipping label, cereal box and Gator-Bite!
Note: Results will vary depending on your creasing method. Gator-Bite points and smooths the center making bow's loops perky and smooth due to balanced center line creasing. Without balanced center line creasing,. even perfectly formed bows will appear unbalanced, flat or rumpled.

Step-by-Step Recap of Technique:
Step 1. Use alligator clip to attach twister to the back of the wrapping template.
Step 2. Clip ribbon onto the template with the cut end of the ribbon approx. 1.5'' below the twister slot and the length of the ribbon going up towards the top of the wrapping template.
Step 3. Wrap the ribbon around the templates twice. Then tack the center of the ribbon with a tie-tack. NOT shown in video - you will cut the excess length of the ribbon off at the top edge of the template.
Step 4. Holding the twister and the wrapping template, gently pull the templates in opposite directions until they slide apart.
Step 5. Flip twister over. Slide the ribbon layers down just past the holes. Slightly lift the lock tabs and slide the ribbon in place
Step 6. Flip twister to the front with the tail pointed UP. Hold the template with fingers crossing the ribbon on back and pull the MIDDLE ribbon layer towards the TOP of the twister.
Step 7. Once the MIDDLE ribbon layer is near the top of the twister, use your thumb to hold the MIDDLE layer in place on the twister while you complete step 8.
Step 8. Evenly layer and hold the BOTTOM and TOP ribbon layers together and pull them down in the perk tab slot.
Step 9. Repeat with other loops, but in the OPPOSITE order - MIDDLE layer tucked into perk tab slot while holding the TOP and BOTTOM ribbon layers near the TOP of the twister.
Step 10. Once MIDDLE ribbon layer is in perk tab slot, smooth out the ribbon on template.
Step 11. Holding the ribbon in place n both sides, gently remove the tie-tack.
Step 12. Clip Gator-Bite onto the center of the ribbon and template. Flip over with backside of the bow up and gently pull the twister out from the formed bow and Gator-Bite.
Step 13. Tie off the bow. You have formed and tied off the twisted boutique bow!
