It is a one-piece article, used as a tool, which creates ribbon loops of uniform length and enables the loops of the bow to be held by the tool, rather than in the hand of the maker. The tool provides a slot for the purpose of tying the loops together in the center of the bow. There are no movable parts in the tool. The process to utilize the tool is specific to this tool.

A bow maker set with interchangeable components is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a bow making device kit includes a base assembly having a body component defining a needle mounting receptacle, a catch mounting receptacle, and fork mounting grooves. The bow making device kit could also include a needle assembly removably attachable to the needle mounting receptacle. The bow making device kit could also include a plurality of forks removably attachable to the fork mounting grooves. Each fork could have a base with a plurality of prongs extending therefrom. The plurality of forks circumscribe the needle assembly when the needle assembly and the plurality of forks are attached to the base assembly. The bow making device kit could also include a catch assembly removably attachable to the catch mounting receptacle. The catch assembly could have a plurality of fingers with movable inserts biased inwardly to contact each other.

A flexible ribbon is folded over itself to form a pair of end ribbon portions at opposite sides of a middle ribbon portion. Each ribbon portion has ribbon apertures. A stiff support is mounted on the middle ribbon portion and has support apertures that overlie the ribbon apertures in the middle ribbon portion. A drawstring is routed freely through the support apertures and the ribbon apertures, and pulled to move the middle ribbon portion from a flat state in which the ribbon portions lie in a common plane, to a curled state in which the middle ribbon portion is folded over and contacts the end ribbon portions to form a loop bounding an open presentation area. An adornment is mounted on the support in the open presentation area, and is visible through the open presentation area in the curled state.
