You have a square scarf?
I sometimes do a bow or let it hang.

I fold it in half into a triangle, roll it up so the point of the triangle is inside, and then tie it around a bag. You can make that a poofy bow or

Does that help?

Yes, it does help, thanks! I was trying to do something like that but couldn't get it quite right, thanks for the pics!

I have a square scarf. I do as some of you other ladies do - fold in a triangle, then loosely fold until it's about the size of a ponytail scarf (like a Navy uniform neckerchief). Then I tied it in a loose, sloppy Windsor knot on the brass ring that holds my Zoe strap to the bag. Looks cute, and it took me about 20 seconds to do. :smile:

I've been looking around at some pictures on here and I notice some of you have Coach scarfs tied in bows on your bags and they always look so neat like a pro tied them, and I was curious how you all get your bow to look like that? Every time I tie a bow on mine with one of the scarfs on my bags, it never really looks like a bow, it's all limp and just winds up looking like a mess. Any of you have any tips on how to make my scarf bows look better, so it actually looks neat, pretty and like a actual bow? You can see what mine ends up looking like in the picture, to me mine don't even look like a bow.

Tie it upside down -- put your bag on a table and lean over it to tie the bow. Also, I do the Martha Stewart Classic bow: http://www.marthastewart.com/article/bow-how-tos

Hope this helps!! I love tying bows on my bags :biggrin:
(ps: from looking at your picture, the 'tails' should be a bit longer to give the body of the bow more structure; the body (the 'bows') should be a bit smaller and tighter).

That helps a lot! I have also had a really hard time tying bows on my bags.

It takes me forever to get it to look right...tie it, untie it, take it off, tie it, untie it...etc.

I finally get it to look like it should and then decide that I'm not really a bow type of girl, so I always just attach the scarf in a windsor knot so that the tails are just flowing off of the bag.

But to answer your question, I think it's just a matter of doing it over and over again until you get it down pat. My mom can probably tie a perfect bow with her eyes closed in record time, but I'm never satisfied with mine.

I'm a pro at tying scarves on bags, love doing it too! I end up usually tying scarves around my bags once and then I never have to retie unless I want to use that scarf for something else... I just tie it like you would tie a shoe lace but just slowly... there is no trick to tying a scarf....
Here's how mine always look...

Ponytail scarfs are the easiest for the bows. hey give you the two "legs" to tie the bow.

The square and oblong are harder. You get a bow; they're just not as neat per se.

I think you may be working off a square. That's why the legs are shorter.

Hi there. Try making the actual ribbon shorter and the tails longer. After that, fluff up the ribbon for that effect. Good luck. :smile:
