Bows are not only hairstyles for girls. Charming bows they decorate clothes and accessories, they are used in needlework, for wrapping gifts and for various other purposes.

It would seem that tying a bow from a ribbon is as easy as shelling pears. But when it comes to practice, it turns out that it would be nice to know the technology of this process. We offer several ways to tie beautiful ribbon bows.

Most beautiful bows are obtained from a satin ribbon, but for beginners it may be too slippery. Try to tie the ribbon of your choice into a knot and tighten it - if the knot does not untie, then such a ribbon is suitable for the first experiments.

It also plays a role for what purpose you need a bow. If you are going to decorate a dress or blouse, it is advisable to make a bow from the same material as the product itself, or at least similar in texture.

The same can be said about the color of the ribbon - it should be in harmony with the gift wrapping, clothes or handbag that it will decorate.

Classic bow

This type of ribbon tying is usually chosen if fairly small decorative elements are needed. You can decorate a postcard with classic bows made of thin ribbon self made, hairpin or soft toy.

You can take a wide ribbon and make the bow bigger, in this case, make sure that the material is dense enough, otherwise the bow will not hold its shape.

To calculate the desired length of the ribbon, you will have to practice, in any case, cut a little more so that it is more convenient to tie the ribbon. Later, you can trim the long edges.

Take a fragment of the ribbon and fold it in the shape of the letter "M" - at the top you will get two rings of the future bow. Cross the rings by turning one of the rings half a turn. A third ring formed at the bottom in the middle.

Thread one of the first rings through the third and tighten the bow. Try not to wrinkle the ribbon and work carefully so that the bow is even and symmetrical. If necessary, trim the ends of the bow to the desired length.

Bow strict

To make such a bow, you will need textile glue. Take a piece of tape, spread it along the table and wrap the edges towards the center, fastening the structure with glue. You will get something similar to the letter "B".

Now take a small piece of tape - the same color or in a contrasting shade and wrap the junction, securing it with glue on the back. It remains to glue the bow to the product.

On the basis of a strict bow, you can make a two-color bow, which looks much more spectacular. Take two ribbons different widths and lay them one on top of the other so that the narrow tape is at the bottom. Next, we proceed according to the above scheme.

Openwork bow

To create such a bow, you need to make several V-shaped blanks. different size. We fasten the blanks, placing the narrower ones over the wider ones. We place a ring of tape in the center, and thread a masking piece of tape into the ring, fixing it from the wrong side of the bow.

The design is high, but rather flat, especially if the tape is narrow. If your openwork bow is not holding its shape, increase the number of V-parts or choose a tighter ribbon.

Tiered bow

For such a bow, you will need at least three pieces of ribbon, each of which will be a couple of centimeters longer than the previous one and a couple of millimeters wider. You can use one color ribbon or different shades.

Cut out triangles at the ends of each ribbon with the apex towards the center. Lay the ribbons one on top of the other so that the longest and widest one is on the bottom.

We take the tape and tie the resulting stack strictly in the middle so that the knot is under the bottom tape, that is, from the wrong side. The ends of the connecting tape can be left long and with their help tie a bow to a gift or to the neck of a beloved pet.

Lush flower bow

Such a bow resembles a flower bud, it can be used to decorate gift boxes, hair accessories, such a bow looks spectacular on a bracelet made of the same ribbon or wide elastic band.

Take an impressive length of ribbon and start forming loops, holding the center of the future bow with your thumb and forefinger. Alternate the loops, directing them one way or the other.

When you decide that the bow is thick enough, fasten what you are holding with your fingers with wire. If you are going to make a bracelet, sew the middle of the bow with thread, and then remove the wire. Attach the bow to the product and straighten the loops.

Experiment with the color, texture and width of the ribbons, creating incredible designs according to the proposed simple schemes, and for clarity, we recommend watching the video. Add color and fun to any holiday or casual outfit.
