Still can't tie a bow

These are the instructions- I am having trouble with step 1Tying a Classic Bow

1. Cross left end of ribbon over right and tie together.

2. Form a loop with right end of ribbon.

3. Bring left end of ribbon from behind to front of right loop and pull through, being careful not to twist ribbon.

4. Gently pull the loops tight, then pull apart slightly to adjust lengths of loops and tails.

5. When completed, puff out top center knot for a finishing touch

This is what the pics looks like for step 1. Whwn I do it I have one strand sticking out the top and one sticking out the bottom- in the pic they are bot coming out the top. How do you do this?

um, no pic, but if you hold the two loose ends down they will automatically get tucked under the knot & your bow will be even

Hey Sunny!

What are you trying to tie? I was having the same problem until eventually I just gave up. I tried another type bow and this is how it came out:
