How to tie your ribbon

Let's say your name is Georgia May. Run the ribbon under your ponytail and hold each side above your head so it is in a U shape with the first initial - the 'G' - starting on your left. Cross the two pieces of ribbon over so the first initial - the 'G' -is now in your right hand, still being held up above your head.

Swoop the piece of ribbon in your right hand, your first initial - the 'G' - over and under the second initial - the 'M'.

Pull both pieces of ribbon in their new positions until it feels tight. Your first initial - 'G' - should now be on the left and you should have a basic knot.

Loop your first initial - the 'G' - and hold it in place.

Use your other hand to wrap the second initial - the 'M' - around the loop, starting from behind and bring it around to the front of the loop. 

There should now be a hole between the looped shoelace - the 'G' - and the wrapped shoelace - the 'M'. Pull the second initial - the 'M' - through the hole to form another loop. 

Hold both loops and tie them tight. And voila! You have the perfect bow!
