History of International Bow Day

International Bow Day was established to celebrate the glory of the bow, and the amazing power it has to make anything it’s placed on infinitely superior to what it was before.

How to celebrate International Bow Day?

Start tying bows in, on, and around things! International Bow Day encourages you to explore the wonderful world of the bow, and start learning how to tie as many as you can!
