Cut each ribbon curl to the desired length using a pair of sharp scissors

Step 5: Arrange ribbon curls

Cut a long piece of sewing thread and place it on a flat surface. Place multiple curls of ribbon on top of each other on top of the sewing thread. Tie the sewing thread around the ribbon curls multiple times, securely.

Tie two small ribbon clusters, of varying lengths (one cluster with shorter curls and one cluster with longer curls) together to create one larger bow

These korker bows can be used on so many different crafts. Aside from creating adorable hair bows for little girls, I loved making a similar korker bow out of burlap and thicker ribbon for my DIY Pencil Door Hanger.
