General tips for cheer bows:
The width of the ribbon can vary from 2½” up to 4″.
Overall width of the finished cheer bow should be between 6″ to 8″.
Add 2″ of length to the ribbon for each inch of overall finished width. For example, a cheer bow with a finished overall width of 7″ would need a 32″ length of ribbon.
If you prefer longer tails on your cheer bow, add the appropriate length to the ribbon.
Wired ribbon helps the cheer bow loops maintain their shape without drooping. Unwired ribbons can be starched.
