A method and apparatus for making ribbon bows of conventional looped configuration, the apparatus comprising a feeder assembly for delivering a length of ribbon; a winding mechanism for receiving the length of ribbon and for winding said lengths into an extended helix; an assembly for gathering the extended helix at substantially the horizontal center line thereof whereby to initially define the loops of the bow, there being means for securing the loops at their point of gathering whereby to create the finished bow. The aforementioned apparatus is operated automatically in timed sequence whereby to carry out the method of forming a ribbon bow, the method including the steps of feeding a length of ribbon to the winding mechanism, winding the length into an extended helix, lying in a generally horizontal plane, gathering the extended helix at substantially the horizontal center line thereof whereby to initially define the loops of the bow and then securing the loops together at their center point whereby to create the finished bow, the finished bow being delivered from the machine in a fully completed and ready to use condition.
