Choose a ribbon or material with enough structure to hold its shape
Cut the ribbon to the desired length
Fold both ends toward the center to form two loops
Cross one loop over the other
Pull one loop through the opening to create the knot
Tighten the center gently while keeping the loops even
Adjust both loops so they are symmetrical
Fluff and shape the loops for a fuller look
Trim the ends at an angle or into a V shape if desired
Secure the center with thread, wire, or glue if needed
