Good day, my dear friends! When the time for the holidays approaches (especially last bells and September 1), an item such as a ribbon bow becomes especially relevant. This accessory is so popular among schoolchildren, mothers and just needlewomen that I couldn’t ignore it and decided to devote an entire post to bows.
Various kinds of bows are actually found in our lives so often that we don’t even notice them - in jewelry, clothes, or even used as an element school uniform... In general, if you want to learn how to make bows from the most different types ribbons, then welcome!
In fact, learning how to tie even the most complex bows yourself is not that difficult. Instructions with a large number of photos, which I have prepared for you today in abundance, will help with this. There will be both selections from the Internet and unique master classes specially prepared for you.
Satin ribbons are the most popular material for creating small masterpieces. Smooth, shiny, relatively inexpensive ribbons have always attracted the attention of needlewomen from all over the world. The material has found application in a variety of creative fields, not with the exception of steel and decorations based on various types of bows.
To create accessories, you can use ribbons of different widths, but it all depends on the chosen design and execution technique. Let's start with the simplest types.
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:
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.
The double bow is made in a slightly different way from the previous one. For it, two rings made of tape and a separately created center, obtained by sealing the edges, are useful.
Fold the two rings in the middle and sew or glue them so that their sides touch. After this, the middle is closed with a pre-made part. The design can be attached to a hairpin or elastic band.
Note!
For this accessory, you need to take a medium or wide ribbon; such beauty will not come out of a thin, narrow material. If your the choice will go to a width of 2.5-5 cm, then this will be the ideal solution.
A variation of such a bow of two ribbons can be this analogue: in this case, two rings are superimposed with their centers on each other. You can also experiment with color scheme– for example, create a red or green bow, or even combine one or more shades in one product.
Try to make more than two layers, take ribbons of different widths and textures. Thus, from one pattern for creating a bow, you can create a wide variety of accessories.
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.
A very beautiful bow that is well suited for head decoration. To do this, three or four (or even more) pieces of ribbon of the same width but different lengths need to be sewn together with an infinity sign and placed one inside the other. Design the middle as in a few microns earlier.
Many beautiful bows are made using the kanzashi technique. This type of creativity came, as you might guess, from distant Japan. In this way, they create magnificent details to complement not only everyday, but also festive outfits.
Making such a flower is not difficult, but painstaking. You will need at least 12 petals, which will need to be pre-cut from a ribbon 2 and 4 cm wide (you can take a different width, but not less than 1.5 cm).
First make the first layer by stringing six wide petals and pulling them together. Place some decoration between the layers and attach the second layer made in the same way. Don't forget the bead in the middle.
Another variation of simple but beautiful petals is located below. Here the flowers come out more pointed.
A more graceful white flower is created below. IN step by step photos you can see that the petals for the flower are made by twisting the ends inside the middle. Such a bow can consist of either a pair or five or six layers, gradually increasing in the number of elements.
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 enough long ribbon(at least three meters).
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.
The good thing about grosgrain ribbon is that, unlike satin, it is less susceptible to various types of damage. The satin one only needs to be hooked once and that’s it - appearance bantha is spoiled. This trick won’t work with reps, but it also costs more.
The combination of several types of ribbons looks very interesting. IN in this case The colors are also combined, which, nevertheless, look very organic. The polka dot ribbon is just perfect! Such a bow will decorate a girl’s head for the holidays and Everyday life. For it you will need to connect two folded parts, as was seen earlier in master classes. The top will be decorated with a classic variation.
Assembling a lush bow with an elastic band is not difficult. To do this you will need several layers of bows, decorated as we did earlier. The number of layers is limited only by your imagination and common sense. The difference between this accessory is that underneath it there is a kind of cross with serifs at the ends.
You can connect all this splendor with ribbons 1 cm wide, tying the middle. You can attach the bow to the elastic using a glue gun or something similar.
A bright bow with a school theme explodes early ideas about what a school accessory should be. It's just a bomb!
You can even make something like a tie using grosgrain ribbons! Yes, the butterfly will be small, but very impressive. To create it, fold the ribbon, tucking the edges under each other, as in the photo below. You will need three such layers. Attach a longer ribbon underneath so that you can tie it at the back. In MK it is quite short, in this form it can be left for a simple accessory.
Here's another fun variation of the bow tie. Here we use nothing less than bird feathers, connected with a ribbon in the middle. Interesting interpretation of the standard butterfly, isn't it?
By the way, a butterfly bow can also be made from fabric; a master class on this is below.
To tie a bow on a gift box you will need not only ribbon, but also different types of wrapping paper.
A very large accessory for a very great gift. Such a bow can be made from ribbon, but it is better to use wrapping paper, which will take a lot to make such a creation.
To the base decorative element insert a small box. There may be a surprise in it or it may just be the basis for such an accessory. Place it in the center of the square, which is covered with its edges at the top and bottom. Fold the free edges as in the photo below (as if you were wrapping an envelope). Press the middle and wrap it with a small piece of paper of sufficient length. Spread the edges to make them as fluffy as possible.
This bow can be used as an independent package or as a decorative part for a huge surprise.
This next puffy bow has an incredible Christmas feel to it. He literally reeks of them! For this you will need to fold the ribbon as shown below, overlapping and tying several layers together.
Place several bows on top of the design, folded as shown below. Decorate the middle with a beautiful bear in a cap or any other decorative element.
Paper bows: simple, cheap, original. All master classes describe their creation in great detail.
Do you want even more bows for a gift? Read about this in another article.
Nylon ribbon is traditionally used for graduation and hair decoration. But such bows can also be used for other purposes.
A simple bow on a fork is created in just a couple of minutes. To do this, you take a fork, thread a thin ribbon in the middle, and a thicker one on top. Wrap the thicker tape around the tines of the fork many times, forming a braid. A thinner ribbon becomes the central part of such a flower.
A semicircular metal template will help you “cut” the petals using a small resemblance to a soldering iron. To do this, two ribbons - nylon and satin - must be folded as shown below. After this, the middle is bent inward and you will need a lot of such petals. They merge into one layer, then into another, etc., until you get a lush multi-layered bow that can be used to decorate your hair.
In the next accessory, nylon tape is used only as an additional accessory, decorating a base made of fabric. You can create such beauty in a few minutes, and decorated with nylon ribbon it will look even richer.
The next bow belongs to the gift category, but I decided to put it in this section because it is made of nylon ribbon. For it, you will need to fold the tape in many layers, and make a cut in the middle, which will need to be tied with a thin fishing line, around which the ends will be tied. Now comes the most important stage: you need to pull out all the ends of the folded ribbon to get a very fluffy structure.
This bow will decorate a Christmas tree or simply decorate your apartment.
A similar accessory can be made from thicker tape and even burlap. Pulling out the ends will be more difficult, but the effect will be more unexpected and extraordinary.
How can they not register them! In the form of elegant brooches, bracelets and much more. For example, the accessory below will be an interesting addition to a holiday outfit.
Another lace bow with a bead inside.
In general, thanks to lace, even the simplest design begins to look more original and festive.
Just look how you can decorate your handle by adding several layers of lace and satin ribbons.
A bow on the headband will turn an ordinary girl into a doll hurrying to the ball.
Roses as bows. Wonderful, isn't it?
The bow on the dress looks very impressive and original.

In our lives, almost every day is a holiday. Before you have time to celebrate the New Year, Valentine’s Day is already approaching, and after it is March 8, and even friends are celebrating their name days. All these dates have something in common - gifts. Choosing the perfect gift is only half the battle, but packaging it is a whole art. It is important not only to find suitable paper and ribbon, but also to wrap the box beautifully with them. Let's figure it out
We use bows not only during the holidays, but also in everyday life. They can be used to decorate the house (for example, hang on curtains), decorate hairpins, clothes, or use in handicrafts. There are a lot of options for their use, as well as ways to do it. First, you need to choose the most suitable material for your craft.
First of all, you must clearly decide what you are going to make the bow for and approximately what color it should be. If you are packing a gift, the width of the ribbon must be chosen depending on the size of the box: wide ones are better for large gifts, and narrow ones are better for small ones. Although, if you decide to go against the rules and tie a huge wide bow on a small package, it can look very good.
If you are planning to make a beautiful ribbon bow for a dress, pay attention to
its texture. It should go well with the fabric from which the clothes are made.
To determine the tape length for gift box, you can use the following method: wrap the gift twice and add about 60 cm to the resulting length for the bow itself.
Most often, satin fabric is used to tie a beautiful ribbon bow. But if you do not have experience in this matter, this material may seem too slippery and inconvenient for creativity. In this case, it is better to objectively assess your abilities and give preference to rougher material.
A very convenient option for bows for gifts and bouquets is a ribbon with a thin wire attached to the edges. It allows you to give the product any shape and preserve it for a long time.
Always remember the most important rule when choosing a ribbon: if you can tie it into a tight knot that doesn't fall apart, then it's perfect for your creation.
To make a bow you will also need:
So, we selected the materials to make a ribbon bow. A master class on how to create one can be mastered by anyone, regardless of their experience in needlework.
First, let's try to make a very ordinary bow, without extra layers and details. But do not think that if it is simple in execution, it will look less advantageous than its curvy counterparts.
So, how to tie a beautiful ribbon bow? You must follow these steps:
Tighten the resulting knot tightly so that it does not come undone at the most inopportune moment. Correct every part of it - and that’s it, our decoration is ready!
If you want to make a small beautiful bow from a thin ribbon, it is very convenient to use auxiliary objects when creating it. Since tying it by hand is quite difficult, you will need a very ordinary fork for this purpose.
This cutlery, which is found in any home, will help you make even the smallest beautiful ribbon bow. You can independently adjust the size of the future product by increasing the width of the teeth with cardboard. To make a beautiful bow using a fork, you need to follow these steps:
Now tighten the resulting composition, carefully remove it from the fork - and that’s it, the miniature bow is ready.
Another useful assistant when creating bows is floral wire. With its help you can make both classic single-tier and lush crafts.
For gifts, bouquets, hair decorations, clothing and interior decor - you can use this ribbon bow anywhere. The master class on how to create it is extremely simple:
This is how we make a beautiful ribbon bow. You can safely use it for any decorative purposes.
If you want to make a simple bow, but not with two ears, but with four, folded in two layers, you do not need to cut out each element separately. To create this craft, as in the case of a regular bow, you also need one complete ribbon.
This decoration is perfect for decorating gifts, as well as for decorating hairstyles and any other type of decor. So let's get down to business.
You've made a beautiful two-layer bow. Now you can hook it wherever your heart desires!
To make a beautiful bow from a wide ribbon, it is best to use a material with wire stretched along the edges. In this case, it will be much more convenient for you to give the decoration shape and volume. This craft is ideal for gift boxes.
For a medium-sized gift you will need the following materials:
So, your steps to make a beautiful ribbon bow:
To hide the place where all the elements are fixed in the center of the craft, cover it with a separate piece of fabric.
When creating any bow, each element plays a very important role. Not only the ears of the craft, but also its tails should look neat and symmetrical.
When we tie a bow from a satin ribbon (or any other), we need to make sure that its hanging ends are as long as possible. You can shorten them at any time, but increasing them without untying the loops is extremely difficult and virtually impossible.
To make the bow look neat, you need to trim the ends of the ribbon correctly. Thanks to this, the material will not fray, you will remove excess threads sticking out from the edges, and the entire appearance of the product will become much more presentable.
To achieve best effect, use sharp scissors that will not chew the fabric. To trim the ends, you can choose one of the two most common methods:
Finishing the ends may be the last step in tying a beautiful ribbon bow, unless you want to decorate it with additional baubles. Depending on the occasion, your tastes and the content of the gift, these can be a variety of elements.
For example, a bow for a New Year's gift can be decorated with a small decorative snowflake, a bell, or Santa Claus. Rhinestones, beads, flowers, stars, hearts, etc. are suitable for making a hairpin or clothing.
In any craft store you can find a lot of suitable parts. They can be attached not only to the ribbon itself, but also to the wrapper next to it, if we are talking about gifts.
When choosing additional elements for the bow, it is very important not to overdo it. It’s better to just tie a pretty bow from a ribbon and decorate it with one cute trinket than to cover it with a bunch of all kinds of decorations, which together will look cheap and tasteless. Create with intelligence and inspiration. And you will definitely succeed!
