Wrapping presents is a talent and for many of us, our gift-wrapping looks like a 5-year-old could have done a better job. Opening a nicely wrapped present is an extra holiday treat and you can learn how to create three perfect bows that will take your gifts to the next level.
Classic
Just make a loop at the center of the ribbon and wrap the loose ends of the ribbon over the loop. Push the ends through the loop and pull it tight. It’s as simple as tying your shoelaces!
Sash
This is just slightly more elevated than the classic bow. Just cut the ribbon and fold the ends into the center, with the right side facing out. Secure it with glue. Wrap the center with another ribbon and secure it with glue. To make the tails glue one or two more ribbons under the center.
Rosette
This definitely looks like the most sophisticated, but it’s actually pretty simple. Just fold the length of the ribbon accordion-style into a stack adding as many layers as you wish. More layers mean there will be more bows. Cinch the middle stack with wire and twist it to secure it. The final step is to cover the wire with ribbon and to add glue.
