Match ends and fold of grosgrain to make diagonal cuts, cut at a 60-degree angle. Heat the ends to ensure that the grosgrain does not unravel.

Add a hair tie to the back of the bow, and place a zip-tie in the center and pull tight. Hot glue the center to ensure that it does not move and unravel the bow.
