Abstract: A form for making decorative ribbon bows. The form includes a circular body having a central aperture surrounded by a series of peripheral openings. The peripheral openings are preferably tapered so that they are narrower adjacent the central aperture and wider adjacent the perimeter of the body. A loop of bow material is inserted into each peripheral opening to form the bow. Each peripheral opening may accommodate one or more loops of bow material. The form may separately or simultaneously accommodate different bow materials having different sizes and colors. When the bow is completed, the form remains a permanent part of the bow. The bow may be disassembled so that the form and bow material may be reused.
