The bow, selected in shape, color and size, will add originality and originality to the gift wrapping. In addition, the emphasis on the bright shell will enhance the experience of the modest gift. The types of bows vary in the number of loops and the complexity of the design, but the exact choice depends on the shape and size of the box and your artistic taste.
Necessary
- Colored ribbons made of synthetic material of different colors and widths;
- Scissors;
- Stapler;
- Glue.
Instructions
Step 1
The color of the ribbon for the bow should contrast with the color of the box, but not create harsh combinations (yellow-purple, green-purple, red-green, etc.). Also, avoid shiny, fluorescent, iridescent and shiny packaging materials. No matter how beautiful the bow is, the packaging will be too bright and distract attention from it. Use plain paper or with few colors.
Step 2
The terry bow has several loops. When decorating a gift box, one bow is enough for them. For him, take a narrow tape and roll it into a spiral. The diameter of the inner ring corresponds to the size of the bow loops, so immediately correlate it with the dimensions of the box.
Step 3
Smooth out the loops. Mark two points at a distance of 1 cm from the outer and inner edges of the tape. Divide the end of the tape mentally into three parts. Use scissors to cut two triangles from the closest third to the closest point. A kind of teeth will turn out at the edges.
Step 4
Bend the spiral along the folds. Secure the location of the cuts with a stapler.
Step 5
Pull out the bow loops one at a time, fluffing up the bow. Glue it to the box, cut off the ends, give it the correct shape.
Step 6
A strict bow consists of only two loops, so to decorate a gift, tie several bows, they can be different in color and size.
Divide the piece of tape into two equal parts, marking the center line. Connect the ends of the tape at the center point and secure with a stapler. These are the loops of the future bow. Make them slightly larger than the bow you are planning.
Step 7
Wrap the other tightly around the middle in one or two turns. The ends should be on the back of the bow. Secure the wrapping with a stapler. It is desirable that the paper clip is not visible on the front of the bow. If this cannot be avoided, stick glitter or some small toy on top.
Step 8
Glue the bow to the box. Cut off the excess ends.
