For many years, Anagrassia customers have asked how we tie our satin and silk sashes on the flower girl and First Holy Communion dresses. We finally found time to create a short video tutorial on how we make the bows.
Here are some screenshots of the YouTube video posted above here.
Step One:
Make sure the sash is smooth and straight across the waist. (Fold it in half if you want a thin sash around the waist.)
Step Two:
If the sash is not attached the the dress, sure the ends are even in the back.
Step Three:
Cross the left side over the right and roll it around the right side
Step Four:
Tighten the knot by pulling on both ends
Step Five:
Make two loops ("ears") with both sash ends
Step Six:
Wrap one loop ("ear") over and around the other loop ("ear")
Step Seven:
Pull through the loop to create to small ears and pull to secure a tight knot
(You will adjust the size of the loops/ears later)
Step Eight:
Wrap the sash ends around the knot; under and around the back of the knot
Step Nine:
At this point, you can adjust the "ears" or loops to the size you wish
Step Ten:
If the sash ends are too long, you can wrap them around the knot again (and again)
(Thank you Gigi, Nik, & Vanka for helping Mary Grace put this video together!)
