Twisted Ribbon Flower Hair Bow Clip Tutorial

I enjoy making many different kinds of items and hair bows are one of my favorite.  Below is a tutorial video of Nicole's Twisted Ribbon Flower Hair Bow Clip, I made earlier this year.  With her permission I made the "how to" on using two different colors when making the flower. 
 
She did a great job with the design.
