We all love birthdays, New Years and other holidays with gifts. Someone likes to receive gifts, and someone - to give. The latter are very often busy not only choosing the right gift, but also decorating it. Moreover, such people pay attention not only to a bright and beautiful wrapper, but also to additions to it. One of these additions is a ribbon bow. Some people prefer to go to a flower shop or store to have a colorful gift wrapped for them, and pay moderate money for it. The most creative people decorate the gift with bows themselves.

To make a ribbon bow, stock up on satin, nylon, satin and polyester. The fact is that such materials do not crumple and keep their shape well. There are a lot of types of bows, and each of them differs in appearance and method of execution. Ribbon bows can be used to decorate clothes, bags, home decor items.

The Dior bow is made from several turns of ribbon. All subsequent turns should be less than the previous ones. They stack one on top of the other. The size of the last turn will be aboutone centimeter in diameter. The bow is fastened with the same ribbon from which it is made, but of a smaller width. With a small piece of ribbon, you need to connect all parts of the bow, even the smallest coil, together.

In order to make a ribbon bow that will look like a lush flower, you need a medium width ribbon. She is taken by the edge (we retreat fifteen centimeters in advance) and, leaving a curl, one end of the tape is crossed with the other. The operation is repeated several times. After all the curls are laid, hold the center of the flower with your index finger so that it does not fall apart. We tie the middle with a small ribbon from the same material from which the bow itself is made.

The most popular and widespread is the classical style ribbon bow. There are two ways to make it. The difference between them is how the central part of the bow is fixed. Fixation is performed with the same tape as the bow. A narrow ribbon of twenty centimeters long is folded into four layers with an accordion. It turns out three folds. It is necessary to hold the tape so that there are two folds at the top and one at the bottom. The folds are crossed and the coil remaining on top is passed through the hole that was formed from below. With the help of such manipulations, a knot is created. For another way to tie classic bows, you need two ribbons. The ribbon bow is fixed with a second small ribbon. The first is the basis of the bow. First, at the main segment of the ribbon, the edges are crossed, resulting in a circle. Two centimeters must be left free. The middle of the tape is crossed with its ends and fixed with a thread. The second ribbon wraps around the first. In this case, the seam must be hidden. A knot is made on the back of the bow.

There are many materials for making bows. To do this, take ribbons from nylon, satin, satin and others. A paper ribbon bow will look very original when presenting a gift. It will add coziness and immediacy to the holiday atmosphere.
