4 Ways To Make A Gift Bow - WikiHow

Maybe your like

This method has a ribbon going all the way around the box, topping the box with a bow.

1 Cut a long length of wide ribbon. To get the desired ribbon length, wrap the ribbon loosely around the length of the box, then its width. This is the basic length, then add another 60cm (24 inches) to the length, for making the bow with. (This additional measurement may need adjusting for a much larger box.)
- Choose a color of ribbon to suit the gift box.
2 Lay the ribbon across the top of the box, facing vertically. Wrap the ribbon around the length of the box first, and hold it at the base of the box.
3 Check that the wrong side of the ribbon is facing the box. Twist the ribbons around each other by 90 degrees to pull each end of the ribbon horizontally.
4 Fix the ribbon if needed. Twist the ends to keep the wrong side of the ribbon facing the box, then pull the ends up and over the center of the box. Pull tightly to keep the ribbon firm.
5 Make loops from each of the ribbon ends. Tie a bow by folding the right loop over the left and folding it underneath the left loop. Pull towards you, then pull tightly.
6 Bring the left loop over the right loop, then slide the left loop through the hole under the right loop. This forms the knot. Pull tightly.
7 Trim the ends of the ribbon to neaten. Cut either a diagonal or a V-shape to prevent fraying.
8 Done. the gift now has a complete gift bow made from ribbon.
