Those are cool -- I really like how the bows are done so they look like real ribbons!

Those look great...I swear you are the energizer bunny...does Santa ask ya for batteries during the holidays - lol! Did you create the bows using birch plywood?

For anyone interested.
The bows are easy to make. The pattern is originally part of a pattern frome Steve Good.
These were cut from some scrap 3/8 3 ply from the trash. It worked but I recommend a better quality ply like BB
Lots of possibilities.
I'm looking forward to seeing different variations of these bows.

ENJOY

Thanks a lot Rob for the pattern and the how to, but one more question, how big is it? I printed it out and it's about 13.5 cm (5.31") is that too big for 3/8" wood?

You can size them to whatever size you need. I've made them down to about 3/4" about 19MM for earrings. At that size I don't double cut the loops.
You don't have to use plywood but it gives you good ribbon like stripes.
