Video: Tying a Knot in Ribbon
Hi all! I tried my hand at a little video editing tonight? Whadda think? Do you like video tutorials? Leave a comment!
BTW, the song in the video is Orba Squara's Perfect Timing (This Morning).
P.S. As Marie lovingly pointed out, I am a bit "blue" in this video. :) The benefits of using Apple's blue background for my iMac's screen.

Love it! Although I personally don't need help with knots -- this was way cool -- loved the music too :-)

I LOVED it! Sometimes I can tie the perfect knot and sometimes I can't. Now I know it's the secret of the left hand ribbon!
Thanks for the demo!
ps. Is it my monitor or are you really a lovely shade of blue?
Love the video tutorial! The music was great.
really like it. I'm a visual learner and seeing it really helps. Thanks.
I loved the video. sometimes my knots comes out ok and sometimes they don't. videos on things like this would great. many thanks for sharing.
Oh, girl you are my FAVORITE!!! Love the video tutorial, and I'm so thrilled to try a perfect Kristina knot! ;)
Awesome! I am brand new to your site (subscribed this week) and am so happy to see this kind of content! Keep it up, girlie!!
Way too cool! The music was perfect for your tutorial! fun!!!
ok, I LOVE your video!! I tried and tried to tie the cute knots from your previous instructions, but I just wasn't getting it! thanx :)
Yay Kristina! Great editing and a tutorial that really does warrant a video. Think I have to buy myself a new cd today...
Kristina, I loved it! Cool music, too!!!
Kristina -- LOVE the video tutorial! (It's fun to actually 'see and hear' you! I don't have a huge problem with knot tying, but yours do always look better than mine, so it was very cool to see how you achieve that! Makes me want to work on mine some more! Thanks so much for this -- what fun!
That was great! Thanks!
Thank you for the visual! I am a visual learner as well so I was so excited to see this when I came by this morning! You are awesome! Thanks!
Great video smurfette, lol. I'm going to have to go and practice now. Thanks!
Hi Kristina,
I thought the video was great. I make pretty good knots and bows but I did learn a little tip about pulling the left side a little more than the right in order to get a smooth overlay. Thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU! You rock, girl! :)
So cool! Loved the video, and the editing! You're too cute! :)
WOW!!!! Thanks SOOOOOOO much (I asked about this yesterday) for this tutorial. You rock!!!! :D
Hi, I love the video... now that I can tie a knot...can you show me how to tie the perfect bow???? TFS!
Thanks for the video tutorial. It is so neat to actually "hear" what people you read about sound like.
LOVE IT!!!! I'm a visual learner, so hopefully this will help improve my knot tying - which sometimes works, and sometimes "knot"!!
Great video!! It's fun to be able to see you in real life... video. And I've been pronouncing the S in grosgrain, so it sounds like I've been pronouncing it wrong! Oops. Plus, great job at editing and the music on the video too, again this might inspire me to try something you've done.
I loved this!! Thanks so much for sharing and we forgive the "blue". Janet in NC

Thanks so much! I have been knot impared my whole life, and even take ribbon off after it's tied and flip it around because the "good" side was always on the back. Thanks again!

Dude! Now you're totally listening to the SYTYCD compilations. I'm musically stalking you. Nice video btw. I still won't be able to tie a good knot though. hehe
I never thought that a video on tying a knot in a ribbon could ever be that freakin' COOL!!! Now I know why my knots always look like such crap! Thanks!!

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! Looking at various blogs I used to wonder how people tie such lovely bows and knots. Now I know how to tie a knot, Hopefully, someday you'll also upload a tutorial on how to tie a bow :).
Great video. Can't wait to try this, since I can't tie a knot for the life of me.
Smurf-erific! Great tutorial, I'll definitely be using this one! Thanks for sharing!
Loved your tutorial. Your film editing was super!
Kristina - thank you so much for this video. I finally got around to watching it and it totally helped me tie nearly perfect bows for my Portland Regionals swap cards this weekend! I found myself singing a little Beyonce as I tied "To the left, to the left." ;) That helped me to remember which end to pull further. Thanks!!
what a relief, me with knots usually takes a good 15 min. sometimes im taking to long that i get so fraustrated and i just want that knot tied, so i make it super tight so no one will notice that i cant tie it pretty... your so kind to share this video. thanks thanks so much! i love your site. aloha! from Hawaii....Melanie
Thank you for the tying of the knot video! I did a search on Alisons blog because just reading it is not enough for me...luckily I found your blog & tutorial...now I know how to do it and what I was doing wrong! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, :))) now if only I will remember when I wake up in the morning LOL! haha. :) thanx again.
What a GREAT video! This is a fabulous tool I can refer my customers to. Thanks for creating and sharing it.
Wow, you made that look so easy! Thanks.
I am kind of new to the paper crafting world.
I was wondering if there is a tool out there that cuts large circles? I need about 250 8.5 inch circles and I don't want to cut them out with scissors.
Thank you.
