What kind of bow is this? And how do I make it?

How do I make this? And what do you call it?

*Sorry, I bet there is already a thread on this, but since I dont know the name, I cant search for it. TIA

I have never seen one like that before either, so I can't help with a name.
I would make two figure 8's out of your ribbon and glue them on top of each other. Don't think there is a need to sew, crease etc...

cut it longer and just leave a tail

I had trouble with the tail too. I found it a bit hard to keep my loops symetrical and get a nice lil tail. I'm just a beginer though, and started these with just my DD in mind.

Kim cut a 7 inch piece of ribbon (cut one end straight and the other angled )
Starting with the straight cut end, make a small mark at 3 inches and 6 inches.
Fold the straight cut side to the 3 inch mark, hold it in place with an alligator clip, then fold the 6 inch mark to the 3 inch mark and hold in place, either glue it or sew. That way you have your first loop. Just make 2.

Hope that helps some.
