How to make a bow of paper to decorate a gift

It is not enough to buy a gift for an expensive person, it is still necessary to present it beautifully. You can, of course, ask the seller in the store to wrap the purchased item. But you can show your own talents. Moreover, now it is not difficult to find a beautiful package. And how to make a bow of paper, we now find out.

With scissors and glue

The simplest way is to make the so-called "French" bow. We need to print a ready template. Select the color of the paper. Cut each piece neatly along the contour.

Then the main part is piled in inwards. Glue to the substrate. We fit a small jumper. The main thing in the process is not to crush the beautiful tips.

Origami paper

You can create a bowl without resorting to glue. In the technique of origami, it all depends on your patience and accuracy.

Let's take a look at the whole process of creating paper accessories.

Step one . Mark the guide lines. To do this, fold the leaf (10 centimeters by 10) in half. The square turns into a triangle. Bent? Now straightened. The leaves were turned upside down and again made a bend from the corner to the corner, but now in the opposite direction we hold the direction. Two lines are ready. Again, squared the square and created from it a rectangle rectangle. Have received a fold. We unfolded the sheet. Repeat the procedure with a rectangle for the other sides. So, we have outlined the boundaries. Workpiece is.

Step two. We add a diamond, but not a simple one. We connect two faces that are perpendicular to each other, while the other two are diligently straightened. Upper corner of the diamond (1 centimeter) bend down. We shall exaggerate the figure completely. Let's see what happened. If you see a square with bends, then you are on the right track. Next, at a large square, the perpendicular face is bent, and the bends perpendicular to the small square are forced to bend outward by pressing the hand. On the opposite side we perform the same actions. As a result, you must hold a diamond with a crumpled cavity.

Step three. We continue to create a bow of paper with our own hands. Now we take our fingers over the edge of the diamond on the side of the dent, bend a little. The angle should lie on the bend from the corner of the large square. We do this operation for the remaining parties.

Step four. For him, we will have to arm ourselves with scissors. On the bent parts we make cuts. After that, holding the center of the dent for the insurance with your finger, unfold carefully the diamond. On the reverse side of the billet, straighten the small resulting diamond.

Step five. The four wings, which are now clearly visible, constitute the upper and lower parts of our bow, respectively. Upper wing bend over the bottom. Further we are engaged in the bottom wing - we bend it so that at us the curved triangle left. The same is done with the other three sides.

Step Six. The remaining upper wings, which are still connected, are cut along the bend. Release the parts once again and make a notch in the form of a triangle on the tip .

The final. We turn the figure and two side wings bend. In this case, the angle of the wing lies under our newly appeared tiny square.

Now we generally imagine how to make a bow of paper. Before practice, it will not hurt to print out a detailed origami scheme, it will go much faster with it.

Fan technology

If the above method scares you with complexity, then act like a child. Simplify the task. Fold a bright colorful leaf accordion. So, as if you were going to make yourself a fan. Only here we will secure the workpiece in the middle. For this purpose, a silk ribbon and a stapler will fit. We tighten the paper with the staple, we tie the tape over the top, and the ends are straightened out.

Volumetric forms

By a similar principle, you can assemble a bow of corrugated paper. It does not even need to be crumpled into an accordion. Cut a large rectangle, fold it with long sides inwards to make a double ribbon. The ends bend it to the middle and fasten it with a staple clip. Fingers crumple the middle, tying it with braid, and the ribbon is carefully straightened, giving it volume. Corrugation is very plastic, you have the opportunity to mold almost any shape.

Ah, this Dior

Let's see how to make a bow of paper in the style of Dior. This unusual and elegant decoration is made up of four paper rings of different diameters.

From the sheet of packing paper we cut out four ribbons, one shorter than the other. We glue the hoops from them. Each hoop in the middle is seized with glue or a bracket. Then overlay and glue one ring on the other, aligning the middle. You need to move from the largest link to the smallest one. As a final point, use a button, paillette or a small brooch. This tiny detail will hide the joint on the upper ring.

So, how to make a bow of paper, we learned. It remains only to apply this knowledge to the joy of self and neighbor.
