Ribbon Bow with Long Tails SVG

About this design

This bow is all about elegance. A neat square knot sits in the middle, two rounded loops spread out to the sides, and two long tails sweep out and down in graceful curves, ending in notched points. Fine lines trace the folds of the ribbon, and a small detail on one loop shows gold in the layered version.

The bow is five pieces with one cut-out. The fine fold lines split the ribbon into sections, which gives the bow its soft, three-dimensional look. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide. The fold lines are thin, so keep the pieces lined up on the transfer tape. For felt, choose 5 inches or more.

Design notes

The tails sweep out wider than the loops, which gives the bow a graceful, flowing shape. The notched tail ends are a classic ribbon detail that makes it look finished.

Good to know

The fold lines are gaps, so the surface behind the bow shows through them. On a gold or white surface, the folds look like highlights on a satin ribbon.

Making it the finishing touch

Place this bow at the top of a wreath, a gift box or a monogram in your software. It adds an elegant finishing touch and ties the design together.

Choosing a size

At 2.5 to 3 inches, it suits card accents. At 4 to 6 inches, it fits gift toppers. At 10 inches and up, it works on doors, mirrors and walls.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border to join the pieces into one shape.
• Mirror it in the editor to flip the tails.
