How to Make Silk Ribbon Knotted Froufrou

Cut four pieces of silk ribbon, one 13 inches long, one 11 inches long, one 9 inches long and one 7 inches long. Fold all the ribbons in half and pin them together by running the safety pin through all four center folds. Unfold the ribbons.

Grasp all the ribbon together and tie a 1/12-inch wide bow, holding all four pieces of ribbon together as if they were one ribbon. You will have a bow with four loops on each side and four ribbon tails hanging down on each side. Pull the ribbon loops gently apart to fluff the bow. Remove the safety pin.

Trim 1/2 inch off the shortest ribbon tail on the right side. Trim 1/2 inch off the second shortest ribbon tail on the left side. Trim 1/2 inch off the next shortest ribbon tail on the right side and 1/2 inch off the longest tail on the left side. This will make all the ribbon tails different lengths.

Tie an overhand knot in each ribbon tail, leaving a 1/2-inch tail of ribbon hanging out of the knot on the end. Make an overhand knot by making a loop in the ribbon and pulling the end of the ribbon through. Trim the tails to 1/4 inch long. Trim them at a 45-degree angle to prevent raveling.

Attach the knotted froufrou to the garment with a safety pin on the inside of the garment. Remove the froufrou when the garment is laundered.
