Two cozy evenings where you'll learn to tie show-stopping holiday bows by hand and with a bowmaker, with tutorial replays and bonus lessons to keep all season long.
Save My Spot, $20A Real Bow-Making Class, Taught By Hand
Bows for the Holidays is a two-evening virtual workshop built for anyone who has ever stood in front of a spool of ribbon and had no idea where to start. Over two live sessions inside a private Facebook group, I'm walking you through the exact techniques I use in my own shop, the ones that turn a plain wreath, gift, or garland into something people stop and ask about.
We're covering six different bow tutorials in total, three each night, some tied entirely by hand and some built with a bowmaker, so you leave the class with more than one way to get a beautiful result. You'll see ribbon selection, proportion, loop count, and finishing all broken down step by step, live, with room to ask questions as we go.
Everything happens right in the group. You don't need to be anywhere at a certain time to belong. Both live sessions are recorded and posted as replays, along with a set of bonus tutorials included in your seat, so you can rewatch, pause, and practice on your own schedule.
Ribbon has always been the signature of my work. It's the detail that makes a piece feel finished instead of just decorated, and it's the fastest skill you can learn that changes how every gift, wreath, and porch looks for the rest of the season.
Whether you're decorating your own home or you make and sell handmade pieces yourself, you'll walk away with real, repeatable technique, not just a one-time craft-along.
"Ribbon is where I fell in love with this craft. A well-tied bow is the fastest way to make anything look finished, and I want you to feel that same confidence."Alix, Simply LaMayed

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need supplies to follow along live?
No, these evenings work as demo-and-learn sessions. If you'd like to follow along ribbon-in-hand, you'll need to supply your own ribbon, and a simple supply list will be shared in the group ahead of time.
Where do I get the ribbon used in class?
Ribbon isn't included with your seat, so you'll want to have your own on hand. If you'd like pre-matched ribbon bundles in the colors we're using, I sell those during my Whatnot live shows.
What if I can't watch live?
Both evenings are recorded and posted as replays in the private Facebook group, along with the bonus tutorials, so you won't miss a thing.
Do I need a bowmaker to take this class?
No. Every tutorial is shown by hand as well as with a bowmaker, so you're never stuck without one. If you'd like to add a bowmaker to your toolkit, you can pick one up at simplylamayed.com.
Who is this workshop best for?
Anyone who wants their gifts, wreaths, and holiday decor to look finished rather than homemade, from total beginners to makers who already sell handmade pieces and want more polish and speed.
What's the refund policy?
All sales are final. Since both evenings are recorded and posted as replays in the group, you'll never miss the material even if you can't make it live.
