I realize there are lots of ways to make a fondant bow but I've had lots of people comment on my bows so thought I'd show y'all how I do it.
Always nice to see a visual.

Enjoy!
Thank you!!! Those are so lovely!
That was a wonderful demonstration!
Nice of you to share !
How did you add the polka dots to your bow ?( in your photos ) Are they just glued to the finished bow or pressed into the fondant some how ?
LOL Murf. I almost did the demo over because of that but didn't feel like going through it again. lol Didn't roll my fondant thin enough to catch in the machine. Mom2anc, I usually write with Americolor foodwriter pens on the gift tags. Fiddlesticks, the polka dots are just glued on; easier to do if the bow has dried for several days and looks better if you do really thin polka dots and don't use too much glue (water with tylose) (which I've done plenty) or it makes a mess. 
farnaz, try doing the middle part much the same as you do each loop, only the dimensions will be 3 inches by 3 inches. After you've pleated the two opposite sides, wrap it around a 5/8" dowel (or dowel of your choice), press together in the back, and let it dry. That's the best I can explain!
Thanks Lisa! (said while pulling the fondant out...) 
Hi Lisa,
I love your video, but help, I have a question...I made a multi looped bow with 1/2 fondant and 1/2 gumpaste. I let the pieces dry for 24 hours, put it together, painted it with ediable gold spray paint and it looked great. I put it in a tupperware container and the next morning it was melted and collapsed. What did I do wrong? The paint dried almost instantly. and the bow parts were almost completely dry. I live in Louisiana so it is humid here also. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Polly
Does sound like the humidity got to it! The only problem I have had is when I've used gold spray and it made my fondant wilt and break before it dried again. Had that happen recently. So I'd say 1) if humidity is a big problem, use gumpaste, and 2) give it longer to dry; especially if you are going to get it wet again with spray.
Thanks,
Yes it did happen recently, Wednesday to be exact. It was dry after I sprayed it within 2 minutes I was able to touch it and the gold was dry. As said I too think it was the humidity caused by enclosing it in tuperware. I will try again with gumpaste as soon as the hurricane threat is gone. Again Thanks,
Polly
I had to get my very-southern husband to come translate for me
Loved the video, thanks for sharing!
