Two-color and gift item

Using ribbons of two different colors you can create an elegant and stylish decoration. This technology is suitable even for beginners. This product can be used to decorate a stylish elegant dress and a beautifully styled hairstyle. It is necessary to prepare a wide and thin piece of tape, each 15 cm long.

Step-by-step instructions for creating DIY ribbon bows:

1. First you need to measure the tape of the required size.
2. Place one on top of the other and roll it into a ring.
3. It is necessary to connect the product blank with glue, and then iron it.
4. Tie a narrow ribbon in the center of the bow to cover where the ends meet. You should get a knot.
5. The ends need to be cut and glued.
6. If you decorate the gift box with a handmade bow, it will look much better. Depending on the situation, it can be made lush and voluminous or modest but elegant.

This option is very simple and easy to make if you follow the instructions:

You need to take a tape up to 2 meters long

It should be wound around the open palm of your left hand, and then carefully removed. The end must remain free

On one side of the workpiece you need to cut off both corners, approximately 5 millimeters. To ensure that the tape does not unravel when cut, it must be carefully burned. The same procedure must be done on the second side. Next, the workpiece must be aligned so that the cut parts are connected in the center. The ribbons should be tied with the free end. After this, each petal is straightened to give shape and volume.

In order to make such a bow, you need to have 6 pieces of ribbon 5 cm wide and 12 cm long, as well as 6 blanks 3 cm wide and 11 cm long. Each one will need to be burned carefully around the edges so as not to unravel. Additional materials will be a piece of feta, small beads and thin elegant braid.

How to make a beautiful bow from a ribbon step by step:

1. First, take the wider pieces and fold them in half.
2. After this, sequentially assemble onto one thread, pull together well and secure.
3. Repeat the same manipulations for narrow segments.
4. Cut a circle of feta, the diameter of which should be approximately 4 centimeters, and then glue a large blank to it.
5. Take a thin braid, the length of which should be 12 centimeters. You need 6 such pieces. Fold each into a ring.
6. Place it on the petals and glue them on the front side.
7. Fix the product on top with a narrow variation.
8. Pour a small amount of glue onto a piece of fabric with a diameter of 1 centimeter.
9. Place the beads tightly in a circle and cut out.
10. Place the decor in the center and secure with glue.

Using a fork you can make a small decoration for a card. The process should include the following steps:

1. You need to take a fork in your left hand.
2. Loop a small ribbon over it so that the edges are on the right.
3. Next you need to throw the far end behind the fork over the lower front end.
4. To do this, it needs to be brought out between the teeth in the center and brought out from behind.
5. The other end must be inserted into the same hole, only from above.
6. After this, you need to turn the fork over and tie both ends with two knots.
7. Remove the resulting decoration from the fork and trim the ends. To prevent them from blooming, they need to be carefully scorched.

The simplest classic bow

The basic bow that any beginner should learn to make is presented below. For it, you can take either a narrow or a very wide ribbon - it will work from any one.

Work process:

1. Fold the ribbon by placing the two halves over the index fingers of both hands.
2. Cross the halves and insert one into the other.
3. Tighten the product. Ready!

You can make a chic decoration based on such a bow. It will be enough just to fill it with waterproof glue or shiny acrylic varnish, then attach the rings to which the chain will be fastened.

The same bow will not be difficult to tie on a fork; with its help it will turn out more neat and even (although you can create a very beautiful accessory on your fingers). There is also a limitation for such an “assistant” - it is useful only when creating very small bows; for larger products you will have to resort to the traditional method.

Tying methods

For convenience, there are ready-made instructions on how to tie a bow on a dress beautifully and correctly. They explain the sequence of actions step by step. The choice of method depends on the material used and the location of the decoration.

Traditional

It is a classic option that is hard to go wrong with. Before making a bow, fabric with a loose texture must first be ironed. You need to tie a bow on a dress according to the following pattern:

1. Two loops are formed from both ends.
2. Place one of them on top of the other.
3. The end of the loop on top is threaded into the bottom.
4. Tighten the bow and straighten it.

With one loop

Suitable for various types of material, but looks best with satin ribbon. Looks stylish and aesthetically pleasing. The combination of the simplicity of the knot and shiny fabric gives the image a special charm. They tie it like this:

1. First, make two identical loops, as in the classic version.
2. Then one of them is wrapped around the second and threaded halfway into the knot.
3. The loop from the half-threaded end is pulled through the knot completely.

With four loops

An option for those who want to decorate their outfit with a voluminous accessory. The pattern consists of two traditional bows tied on top of each other:

1. A couple more loops are made from the ends of the ribbon of a bow made in the classical way.
2. A second bow is tied from them.
3. Straighten out all the loops.
4. The remaining ends are wrapped around the resulting knot in the center.

Corrugated

Looks good on light, slippery fabrics. You will need a wide, long ribbon for this. The materials used are viscose or voile:

1. First, uniform folds are formed along the entire length and the fabric is wrapped around the waist.
2. Then they put the right end on the left, twist and bend it, bringing it under the freely hanging second tip.
3. Tie an incomplete knot.

Bow flower

It’s not without reason that this beautiful multi-layered bow got its name. Clothes with such an accessory look festive and beautiful. You need to be very careful when working with this decorative element:

1. At least a dozen petals are made from ribbon, strung on a thread and pulled together.
2. Then the upper tier is made from shorter petals in the same way.
3. They are fastened with a stitch in the middle and straightened.
4. A bead is placed in the middle.

Business

Suitable for the neck of a dress. In spring and summer, satin and chiffon scarves are used to create business bows. In winter or autumn they are made from warm scarves on outerwear. Algorithm:

1. Tie a knot, leaving the right end slightly longer.
2. Wrap it around the left side and tighten it, threading it into a loop.
3. After forming two loops, thread one of them into the other and tighten.

Free loop

The advantages include unobtrusiveness and speed. Suitable for tying at the front. The material should not be smooth so that the accessory does not fall apart:

1. A wide belt is folded in half and circled behind the back so that a loop is formed in one hand, and two ends in the other.
2. Place the ends into the loop and tighten.

Half bow

This option looks like an unfinished knot. Suitable for fashionistas who consider a traditional bow to be too pretentious. The texture of the material should be non-slip.

1. The belt is pulled back and the ends overlap.
2. Then they are brought forward.
3. The right end is placed on the left and brought inside. The inserted tip is bent down and brought out under the second free end.
4. To form an ear, a fold is made at a short distance from the intersection.
5. The resulting eye is threaded into a loop.

Complex multi-layer

For those who are interested in how to beautifully tie a bow from a satin ribbon, this option is suitable. It looks quite voluminous, so you shouldn’t add any other accessories. Manufacturing algorithm:

1. Several loops are made from a long length of tape.
2. Place them in a stack and secure them with a pin.
3. Turn the loops in the opposite direction and attach them to the belt.
4. The number of layers should not be more than seven.

If you know how to beautifully tie a bow on your belt, shoulder, neck or chest, you can make your look unique. By spending a minimum of time and effort, you will be able to qualitatively transform your wardrobe. But don’t forget about style, because the accessory doesn’t always look appropriate.

Beautiful images in dresses with bows

Only sewing experts can immediately select and sew the desired bow on their own, choosing the material and color. But for girls who just want to find an outfit with a bow at the back, it can be a challenge to choose the material and the perfect color scheme yourself. Everyone wants to pick up a ready-made and beautiful image right away, but not everyone can find it instantly. It's quite easy to make a mistake the first time without skill. That is why, to begin with, it is better to focus on already created images from famous fashion designers and street fashionistas.

A bow is a great decoration option that can immediately go with an outfit, or it can easily be selected separately from it. At the very beginning, it is quite difficult not only to choose the material for the bow, but also to build it. With the help of detailed diagrams, you will easily master this skill and be able to show off at the next event in a chic dress, decorated with a skillfully tied bow.

DIY grosgrain bows with openwork ribbon

Rep ribbon is characterized by strength; it holds the shape of the bow firmly and for a long time.

What we need:

• blue grosgrain ribbon 4 cm wide
• openwork ribbon 2.5 cm wide
• rubber
• decorative pearl strip
• needle
• black thread
• lighter
• glue gun

1 Prepare 2 pieces of grosgrain ribbon, 20 cm long, and go along the edges with a lighter. Fold it in half in the center so that one edge overlaps the other by 0.5 cm.

2. Sew the edges of both strips together and tighten to create a double bow.

3. Take a strip of grosgrain and a strip of openwork ribbon, both 20 cm long, place them on top of each other, and touch the edges with a lighter. Fold the edges so that they are in the center of the piece, sew and tighten.

4. Cut 2 strips 10 cm long from the openwork ribbon, trim the ends beautifully, and burn them with a lighter. We lay the strips crosswise on top of the double bow and glue it. After that, glue a single bow on top.

5. We tighten the center of the bow with a narrow braid several turns, and seal the end. We decorate the top with a pearl stripe.

6. Using a glue gun, glue the elastic band from the inside out.

Bow for discharge from the hospital

1. Newborns (and children in general) deserve the best! That's why I found for you a beautiful bow that will suit both girls and boys. For this you will need a fairly long ribbon (at least three meters).
2. In the middle, make a winding of several layers and then a knot as in the photo. After this, you will need to pull out several petals formed by the previously folded rings.

Why leave such long ends around the edges?

The fact is that you will need to tie them around the long-awaited package, leaving a beautiful middle in front. At one time, I actually bought a five-meter ribbon - the nurse tied it into such beauty that we still remember it with a smile with the whole family.

How to tie a terry bow from ribbon

To tie such a bow, it is better to use hard material, which will make the bow richer and also prevent it from losing its shape.

1. Roll the ribbon into several rings - their diameter will be equal to the diameter of the final bow.

2. Smooth out the loops and make several diagonal cuts (see image).

3. Roll the loops again, but this time you need to make sure that the cut triangles are centered on the folded strips of material that you see in front of you.

4. Now, using tape or regular thin wire, pull the slits tightly, after which you can straighten the loops one by one. It is advisable to start straightening the inner loops. This should be done like this: one loop to the right, and the other to the left.

5. You can make the bow more magnificent.

Photo instructions:

1. First make a blank. Twist the tape into 8 turns.

2. Fold the twisted ribbon and cut at the corners.

3. Fold the coils flat again, but this time change the central axis. This must be done so that the corners you cut off are in the middle.

4. Bandage the area with thin tape.

5. Lift both parts of the bow up and hold them in your hand.

6. Now begin to gradually straighten the petals of the bow and twist their axes. Alternate: one petal down, the other up.

Bow - Butterfly

The next bow is a butterfly, but in only women’s colors, and the principle of creation is the same as what men usually wear. Although I believe that this is a classic option that can be used for different purposes.

You can play with sizes and fabrics.

The fabric is very soft to the touch and has a nice color. Length 16 cm and width 4.5 cm.

• Fold the fabric in half and pin it together.

• My fabric frays a lot, so I process it on a machine, but in principle you can sew it by hand. I sew it in a circle and leave a small hole.

• Through this hole I turn the fabric inside out.

• Now I sew up the remaining hole by hand using a blind stitch.

• I mark the middle and stitch along it, gathering a bow.

• I cover the middle with a piece of the same fabric.

And this is what I got. I like! And you?

Back side.

Elementary options

Most often, bows are attached to the belt. This way you can play up the strengths of your figure and hide your flaws. If the girl is slim, then the flirty element will only emphasize this. If there are problems in this area, then using a belt with a bow you can raise the waistline, thereby “removing” a couple of extra centimeters.

You will need a ribbon or belt and two minutes of free time. The simplest bows are the classic ones and those with one loop. Start your design experiments with them, and then you can master more complex options.

Classical

Peculiarities. This bow can be used to brighten up an everyday look or decorate an evening dress. A stylish element can be complemented with a bride's outfit or a children's dress. A classic bow is easy to make on yourself: just wrap the ribbon around your waist and tie it in front, and only then turn it behind your back or to the side.

Let's tie it up

1. Place the ribbon around your waist. Cross the two parts: one should be above the other.
2. Wrap the top end of the ribbon around the bottom. Pull: You need to tighten the knot.
3. Wrap one piece of ribbon into a loop. Wrap the second part around the eyelet and create a knot. Pull the remaining piece of material into the knot: this will create a second loop.
4. Adjust the “ears” and “tongues”, correct the knot. Ready!

Although the classic version is extremely simple, it is not always possible to make the perfect bow the first time. Experience and dexterity are needed. Stand in front of a mirror: this way you will see what happens. After a couple of “rehearsals” you will be able to make a stylish element with your eyes closed.

With one loop

Peculiarities. The one-loop bow looks stylish and original. Using the pattern below, you can tie a ribbon or belt. The single loop element looks beautiful on a silhouette cocktail dress. The loop can be made large or small, the end can be let out strongly or this part can be hidden, the knot can be made wide or narrow - it all depends on your imagination.

We tie it step by step

1. Make two loops, as if you want to tie a regular bow.
2. Wrap one end of the loop around the other. Thread it halfway through the knot. You will get one loop.
3. Pull the second end of the belt or ribbon completely through the knot. The second loop is not needed: the end of the belt should flow down.

What materials can a bow be made from?

The easiest way to make a bow is from ready-made ribbon, specially designed for this purpose. It's called ribbon for bows. But in order to make an original and unique bow, you can use the most unusual materials, not to mention various ribbons, canvas and stripes.

The material for the bow must be selected taking into account many factors. If the bows are intended for a wedding, then the most suitable material would be satin and tulle. To wrap gifts, you can use canvas and specialized packaging tapes.

For bows decorating clothes, it is best to use strips of fabric cut on the bias from the same fabric as the product itself or matching in color and texture. Satin ribbons are often used to decorate skirts. Often, to emphasize the main color of the skirt, ribbons of a contrasting color are used in relation to the main tone of the skirt fabric.

An unusual and original bow can be created by decorating a simple satin ribbon with rhinestones and beads, especially if they are in the form of a pattern.

How to tie a beautiful bow from fabric and ribbon

There are several techniques that transform a piece of fabric or ribbon into an attractive and neat element. All of them are based on the same sequence of actions, but each method has certain features.

Bow on fingers

If you need to tie a narrow, small ribbon, the so-called finger method will come in handy. To create a cute, miniature bow you need to follow these steps:

Make a fist with your hand, then straighten your index and middle fingers (you will get something like a “slingshot”). Turn your hand so that the hand is horizontal and the fingers are parallel to the floor. Place the ribbon over your index finger so that both hanging ends are approximately the same length. Hold one end of the tape (which is closer to you and passes through your palm) with your thumb. You can press it against the innominate phalanx if this is convenient. The second hanging end must be lifted up with your free hand, crossing it with the part of the ribbon being held. The product is braided around the fingers twice. Place the end of the tape between your straightened index and middle fingers.

At the same time, the thumb still holds the previously fixed tip of the ribbon. The free end of the element being tied is pulled towards itself and pushed under the loop, after which it must be carefully pulled and a knot is tied (not too tight). The tape is removed from the finger and a rounded, neat bow with identical “ears” is obtained.

If the ends of the fabric strip are too long, they can be trimmed with scissors. This method is good for creating small decor for gift wrapping or flower bouquets, or for decorating some element of space.

Double bow

This technique is not much different from the classic one, you just have to repeat the basic steps twice (hence the name). It looks especially impressive on lush textile accessories: guipure or nylon scarves, shawls or stoles. It turns out to be a nice rounded decorative element that can be used to highlight a fashionable look.

Ribbons are tied with a double bow on the handles of a handbag or backpack, or on hair gathered in a bun, scarves around the neck and soft, fabric belts at the waist. In short, there are more than enough options for using this type of knitting. This bow is made as follows:

• The fabric element is fixed at the site of future tying (draped over the neck, or fastened with a knot on the handles of the bag, and so on).
• Both free ends are taken in hand and loops are made on them for about a third of the length. You want two thirds of the ends to hang freely.
• Both “ears” of the future bow are crossed with each other (overlaid crosswise on top of each other) and then tied into a weak knot. The first half of the bow is ready.
• The free edges of the fabric or ribbon element are again converted into loops with short ends (no more than 1/3 of the length), crossed and tied.
• All 4 “ears” of the double bow must be straightened so that they are approximately the same height and are located harmoniously in relation to each other. The loose ends are left hanging or hidden inside.

This technique allows you to turn ribbon or fabric into a whimsical decorative element. This is the best way to tie bows on your hair or belts at your waist.

Overlay strict bow

This option is convenient for its simplicity and speed, as well as versatility. It can be attached to anything, be it a hair tie, a headband or a ribbon on clothing. The bow is made from a rectangular flap folded in half (it is better to secure the loose ends by sewing them together). In the middle it is intercepted by another fabric or ribbon strip and slightly tightened. Next, the base on which it is attached is passed through the transverse part of the bow.

There is nothing complicated about tying bows; it is an excellent solution for decorating the interior, some objects and accessories, or complementing a fashionable look. You just need to choose the appropriate method and follow its description.

Big and lush

This bow is perfect for gift wrapping and will also serve as an excellent hairpin for a little lady.

Making a large and fluffy bow from a satin ribbon is simple:

1. We buy wide ribbons. We select the length depending on how lush the bow should be (about 1-2 meters will be enough)
2. Fold the material like an accordion
3. We tie the center with a nylon thread. The ends are needed for wrapping a gift or attaching a bow to your hair, so it's best to leave them loose.
4. The bow will turn out even more magnificent if you glue the blanks to each other.

Elegant bow

Sometimes, instead of the pomp and glossy sheen of satin ribbons, modest elegance is required. Bows made from grosgrain ribbons look serious, with a claim to solidity. Small accessories made from grosgrain ribbons are used to decorate business suits, hats, bags, and, of course, hair. Rep tapes are denser in structure, can take and hold their shape, and have a matte, corrugated surface.

Step-by-step master class:

1. Prepare two small pieces of grosgrain ribbon of any color. The length of the cuts depends on the size of the future bow.
2. Form each ribbon into a ring and place them on top of each other.
3. On the rings, lying crosswise one on top of the other, place the third piece in a horizontal position.
4. Apply a drop of glue to the middle and stitch all three strips.
5. Prepare two more pieces of tape. One is small in size for wrapping the workpiece in the center, the second is slightly longer than the rings, process the edges in the shape of a tick.
6. Wrap a small piece around the bow in the middle and secure with glue.
7. Sew a long piece with finished edges to the back.

A piece of ribbon with scalloped edges transforms a simple bow into an original accessory, giving it volume and completeness. The edges, decorated with teeth or an oblique line, make the craft ready.

Multi-layered puffy bow

A great option for schoolgirls and more. This bow can easily be placed on a hairpin or comb to attach to your hair. It is based on the two simple bows discussed earlier.

To fold one, you'll need to make a base of two overlapping layers. The ribbons folded in this way will form the back part. The front one is similar to the simplest first bow. At the end they need to be connected using glue or thread. Everything is held together by a central piece.

This way you can get more voluminous accessories, like the white bow shown below. There is one difference here - the basis is not two layers, but three.

Romantic and sophisticated, this addition to the image will delight any graduate who wants to indulge in nostalgia. But this option, unlike jewelry for girls, is more mature and feminine, which is exactly what is needed in such cases.

Where is a bow appropriate?

The younger the woman, the more bows she can have in her outfits. It’s a great pleasure to decorate children’s dresses with bows. Bows of various sizes and colors may appear in the baby's outfit.

Mature women should choose voluminous decor that matches the color of the main fabric of the dress. A decorative bow can be decorated with pearls, beads, and lace. Stylists do not rule out the appearance of bows in a business look. It's worth learning how to knit bows on retro dresses with a collar in the form of a flowing ribbon.

And, of course, we must not forget about such an important event in the life of every woman as a wedding. The bride's outfit can be replete with bows, which often adorn the corset of the dress, skirt and belt

On an evening dress

Simple bows with sparkles, stones or pearls in the middle look good on velvet fabric. A matching belt goes well with a satin or silk dress; it is tied with a lush bow, leaving the edges flowing.

Do not overuse flowers in your evening look. An elegant belt made of satin ribbon or a bow collar is enough to emphasize the femininity of the outfit.

In a summer look

Laconic textile bows to match the main fabric or a similar color are welcome in a summer street look. If there is a pattern on the dress, then a plain bow made from a similar fabric will highlight the summer outfit. An interesting element such as a butterfly collar may appear in a business look. It is tied on dresses with ribbons or additional fabric is used to decorate the retro look of a business woman.

Most often, the belt of a dress is decorated with bows. If you want to emphasize your waistline, this is one of the best ways. In addition, such a feminine and elegant decoration element makes any look gentle and romantic.

On a wedding dress

Designers use bows in the form of double flowers, stars, and lush ribbons to decorate wedding dresses. Organza and tulle make especially voluminous and beautiful bows, which are sewn to a belt or used to decorate a skirt.

A festive look will benefit from complex and extraordinary bows, but even a classic knot with fluffy edges can transform a wedding outfit. Tiny silk, satin and viscose roses, flower buds and rosettes deserve special attention. They are usually small in size and richly decorate the bride’s outfit.

Flowers, butterflies, multi-layered, twisted and “terry” variations - all this is appropriate in the image of the bride.

True, you shouldn’t go overboard with the decor. One large or several small bows are enough to make your wedding outfit sparkle.

Location options

Bows are a fashion trend; they come in narrow, wide, large, small, and are made from different fabrics. An accessory can decorate even an everyday outfit, provided that it is neat and in harmony with the style. This piece of decor is appropriate for any summer clothing, when you want to relax and allow yourself to be more relaxed. Beautiful bows on dresses have already become a classic for evening wear.

There are various options for placing decorations. One of the most commonly used is a belt. The bow is usually attached to the back. This arrangement is suitable for slender, long-legged ladies who prefer a cutout at the back. A large bow on the belt looks no less impressive when the front of the dress is completely closed.

The accessory can be placed on the chest, provided that it is small in size. Such decoration will make a lush bust too massive. Placing the bow under the bust is a romantic option. Combines with Empire and Greek styles. The length of the dress should be no less than midi. For business meetings, this decor option will not be entirely appropriate, but is perfect for evening outings. Another way to use a bow under the bust is as a decoration on maternity clothes.

A bold option is a bow tied on the hips. It will highlight the beauty of tall women. Placement on one hip will distract from figure flaws. The bow on the shoulder is suitable for special occasions. Plain dresses with a voluminous accessory in a contrasting color look impressive. You can use the same palette, but the materials have different textures. For example, decorate an evening dress made of shiny fabric with a large chiffon bow.

A bow tied around the neck will emphasize femininity. The accessory will help ladies of an elegant age hide wrinkles and diversify their wardrobe. You can tie a bow around your neck using a scarf or thin scarf.

Flat bow made of ribbons of different widths

It’s very, very easy to make such a cute bow - you will need no more than 20 minutes. You can attach it to a headband or elastic band, decorate a dress or even shoes with it.

So, prepare:

• three types of grosgrain ribbon: thick plain ribbon 2.5 cm wide - length 40 cm; narrow plain ribbon 0.7 mm wide - length 33 cm; thick ribbon with a print 2.5 cm wide - length 22 cm;
• a beautiful decoration for the middle (it can be a cabochon, a bright rhinestone or a button - choose to your taste);
• threads, needle, scissors, glue.

Let's start making our bow.

Step 1. Take a plain thick ribbon, fold it in half and cut it.

We mark the middle of the ribbon and bend each end to it on one side. To make it convenient for you, we secure them with a pin in the center. We carry out exactly the same manipulations with the second ribbon.

Step 2. Place the two resulting pieces next to each other slightly diagonally. You should end up with a blank that looks like a butterfly.

Step 3. First we place our printed ribbon on the resulting blank, and then a narrow one on it (we cut off a piece 23 cm long), bending the ends to the wrong side.

Step 4. Place the remaining piece of thin ribbon perpendicularly to the center of the butterfly bow. Then we tighten the bow with it, cut off unnecessary pieces and sew them together.

Step 5. Now it's time to decorate the middle. It can be sewn or glued.

Let's create a rose from a satin ribbon

To do this, you should use a template. The product is created on the basis of a satin ribbon according to a template. Most experienced craftswomen do everything with their fingers. But it will be too difficult for children, so it is worth using an auxiliary tool.

What you will need:

• Ribbon 80 - 200 cm, 2 cm wide. The size depends on the number of intended petals and the splendor of the product;
• Scissors;
• Pre-created template. This is what an adult does.

Manufacturing stages:

1. The ribbon is wrapped around the template 11-15 times;
2. The workpiece is removed from the template. The ends are tied in a knot.
3. Each ring in the upper part is bent alternately to the right, then to the left. The tape is gradually turned right side out.
4. Several petals are created. But the last ring remains on the middle part of the flower.
5. The result is a simple and voluminous rose.

If it is too difficult to understand this example, you can watch a video with a detailed description of each step of the work.

Bright two-color bow made of satin ribbons

For work we prepare:

• satin ribbon of two colors (4 cm);
• scissors;
• threads;
• a needle;
• glue gun;
• ruler;
• candle.

Master Class

We cut ribbons 20 cm long – 2 +2.

We fold the parts, connecting back to back:

We chop the strips in half and spread the edges in opposite directions until a right angle is obtained. Then we connect it together and move the top of the tape almost to the edge of the bottom segment:

Two details:

Next you need to connect the corners with the edges of the parts, folding them in half:

We sew the parts along the edge and tighten the thread.

Cut another piece of ribbon 7 cm long. Wrap the ribbon around the middle of the bow.

Ready!
