The universal choice of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Amaze your friends and loved ones! ;)
Good day, my dear friends! When the time of holidays approaches (especially the last calls and September 1), such an item 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 a whole post to the bows.
Different kinds of bows are actually found in our lives so often that we don’t even notice it - in jewelry, clothes, they are even used as an element of a school uniform ... In general, if you want to learn how to make bows from a wide variety of types of ribbons, then Welcome!
Do-it-yourself beautiful ribbon bows: master classes
In fact, learning to tie even the most complex bows yourself is not so difficult. This will help instructions with a large number of photos, which today I have prepared for you in abundance. There will be both collections from the Internet, and unique master classes specially prepared for you.
How to make satin ribbon bows: step-by-step instructions
Satin ribbons are the most popular material for creating small masterpieces. Smooth, shiny, relatively inexpensive ribbons have always attracted the attention of needlewomen from around the world. The material has found application in various fields of creativity, with the exception of steel and jewelry based on all kinds 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 easiest classic bow
The basic bow that any beginner must learn to do is presented below. For him, you can take both narrow and very wide tape - it will turn out from any.
Work process:
- Fold the ribbon by slipping its two halves on the index fingers of both hands.
- Cross the halves and push one into the other.
- Tighten the product. Done!
Based on such a bow, you can make a chic decoration. It will be enough only 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 accurate and even (although you can create a very beautiful accessory on your fingers). There is also a restriction for such an “assistant” - it will come in handy only when creating very small bows; for larger items, you will have to resort to the traditional method.
Double tape
A double bow is made in a slightly different way from the previous one. Two rings of tape and a separately created center, obtained by sealing the edges, are useful for him.
Fold the two rings in the middle and sew or glue them so that they touch the side parts. After that, 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, it will not come out of a thin, narrow material of such beauty. If your choice goes to a width of 2.5-5 cm, then this will be the perfect solution.
A variation of such a bow from two ribbons can become such an analogue: in this case, two rings are superimposed with the middle of each other. You can also experiment with the color scheme - for example, create a red or green bow or even combine one or several shades in one product.
Try to make more than two layers, take ribbons of different widths and textures. Thus, from one scheme for creating a bow, you can create a wide variety of accessories.
Multilayer fluffy bow
A great option for schoolgirls and more. Such a bow is easy to put on a hairpin or comb to attach to the hair. It is based on two simple bows considered earlier.
To stack this, you need to make a base of two overlapping layers. From the ribbons folded in this way, the back is obtained. The front looks like the easiest first bow. At the end, they must be connected with glue or thread. All together is held together by a central piece.
In this way, more voluminous accessories can be obtained, such as the white bow below. There is one difference - the basis is not two layers, but three.
Romantic and sophisticated, such an addition to the image will please any graduate who wants to give in to nostalgia. But this option, unlike jewelry for girls, is more adult and feminine, and this is exactly what is needed in such cases.
3-4 bow ribbon twist
A very beautiful bow that is well suited for decoration on the head. To do this, three or four (or even more) pieces of tape of the same width, but of different lengths, need to be sewn together with an infinity sign and embedded in one another. Place the middle as in several microns earlier.
Kanzashi
Many beautiful bows are made using the kanzashi technique. This kind of creativity came, as you might guess, from distant Japan. There, in this way, they create magnificent details to complement not only everyday, but also holiday dresses.
Bow flower
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 tape 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. Put some decoration between the layers and attach the second layer made in the same way. Do not forget about the bead in the middle.
Another variation of simple but beautiful petals is located below. Here the flowers come out more spiky.
A more elegant white flower is created below. In the phased 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 both a pair and five or six layers gradually increasing in number of elements.
Bow to discharge from the hospital
Newborns (and indeed children) deserve the best! That is why I found for you a beautiful bow that will suit both girls and boys. For it you will need a fairly long tape (at least three meters).
In the middle, make a winding of several layers and then a bundle as in the photo. After that, you will need to pull out several petals formed by previously folded rings.
Why leave such long ends around the edges? The fact is that you need to tie them around the long-awaited bundle, leaving a beautiful middle in front. At one time, I generally acquired a five-meter tape - a nurse imposed such beauty out of it that we still remember with a smile the whole family.
How to tie a bow from a rep ribbon
Rep ribbon is good in that, unlike satin, it is less susceptible to various kinds of damage. A satin one should only be hooked once and that’s all - the appearance of the bow is spoiled. Such a focus will not work with reps, but it also costs more.
Children's bows
A combination of several types of ribbons looks very interesting. In this case, colors are also combined, which, nevertheless, look very organic. The polka dot ribbon is just superb! Such a bow will adorn the girl’s head for the holiday and in everyday life. For him, you will need to connect two tucked parts, as was previously seen in master classes. The top will be decorated with a classic variation.
On an elastic band
To collect a magnificent bow on an elastic band will not be difficult. To do this, you 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 of this accessory is that under it there is a similarity of crosses with serifs at the ends.
You can combine all this splendor with ribbons 1 cm wide, bandaging the middle. You can attach a bow to an elastic band with a glue gun or something similar.
A bright school-themed bow blows up early ideas of what a school accessory should be. This is just a bomb!
Bow bow
With the help of rep ribbons you can even make a semblance of a tie! Yes, the butterfly will turn out small, but very effective. To create it, fold the ribbon by bending the edges under each other, as in the photo below. It will take three such layers. Underneath, attach a genuine ribbon so that you can tie it on the back. In microns it is very short, in this form it can be left for a simple accessory.
And here's another fun variation of a bow tie. Here no more or less feathers of birds were used, connected by a ribbon in the middle. An interesting interpretation of a standard butterfly, isn't it?
By the way, a bow-tie can also be made of fabric, a master class about this below.
Gift Boxes
To tie a bow on a gift box, you will need not only a ribbon, but also wrapping paper of different types.
Big bow
A very large accessory for a very large gift. Such a bow can be made of tape, but it is better to use wrapping paper, which will take a lot of such a product.
Insert a small box into the base of the decorative element. It 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 on top and bottom cover it with the edges. Tuck the free edges as in the photo below (as if wrapping an envelope). Squeeze the middle and wrap a small piece of paper of sufficient length. Spread the edges so that they become as lush as possible.
Such a bow can be used as an independent packaging or as a decorative part for a huge surprise.
Beautiful for a present
The next magnificent bow has an incredible Christmas mood. From him literally blows them! For it, you will need to fold the ribbon as shown below by overlaying and linking several layers to each other.
Lay a few bows over the structure, folded as shown below. Decorate the middle with a beautiful teddy 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 gift bows? Read about it in another article.
Nylon bows
Kapron tape is traditionally used for graduates and hair decoration. But for other purposes, such bows can be used.
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 it’s thicker on top. Wrap the tape thicker around the cloves of the fork many times, forming a wicker. The thinner ribbon becomes the central part of such a flower.
A semicircular metal template will help to "cut" the petals with a small semblance of a soldering iron. To do this, two ribbons - kapron and satin - must be folded as shown below. After this, the middle is bent inward and such petals will be needed a lot. They merge into one layer, then into another, etc., until a lush multilayer bow is obtained, which can be used to decorate hair.
In the next accessory, kapron ribbon 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 a nylon ribbon, it will look even richer.
The next bow belongs to the category of gift, 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 in the middle make a cut, which will need to be tied with a thin fishing line, around which to tie the ends. The most important step is coming: you need to pull out all the tips of the folded tape to get a very magnificent design.
Such a bow will decorate the Christmas tree or just become an apartment decoration.
A similar accessory can be made of a denser ribbon and even burlap. Pulling the ends will be more difficult, but the effect will turn out to be more unexpected and extraordinary.
Photo of other beautiful bows
As they just do not make out! In the form of elegant brooches, bracelets and much more. For example, the accessory below will be an interesting addition to the holiday dress.
Another lace bow with a bead inside.
In general, thanks to lace, even the simplest design begins to look more original and festive.
Just see how you can decorate your pen by adding several layers of lace and satin ribbons to it.
The bow on the rim will make a doll out of an ordinary girl, hurrying to the ball.
Roses as bows. Great, isn't it?
The bow on the dress looks very impressive and original.
MK in video format
Several workshops in video format will be a great help in creating various kinds of bows. Especially good ideas will be for schoolgirls and graduates on the last call, graduation and September 1.
That is all, dear friends. Tell us how to master classes and photo ideas of bows and come back often to my resource. See you soon!
Sincerely, Anastasia Skoreeva
