Step by Step Christmas Bow Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw a Circle for the Center
Start by drawing a neat circle in the center of your page. This will be the knot that holds the bow together.
Step 2 – Add the Left Loop
On the left side of the circle, draw a big oval or petal shape. It should curve outward, like a puffy balloon.
Step 3 – Add the Right Loop
Now draw the same oval shape on the right side. Make sure it mirrors the first loop so the bow looks symmetrical.
Step 4 – Draw the First Ribbon Tail
Draw a curved ribbon tail coming down from the left side under the circle. Make it slightly wavy and add a pointy end.
Step 5 – Add the Second Ribbon Tail
Repeat the same shape on the right side. Make both ribbon tails hang down like they’re tied to a gift box.
Step 6 – Add a Face and Color It In!
Let’s make it extra cute! Draw two eyes and a happy little smile inside the center circle. Then color the bow bright red, green, gold, or any festive color you like!
