In order to make a ribbon bow, stock up with satin, nylon, satin and polyester. The fact is that such materials do not crumple and keep shape well. There are many kinds of bows, and each of them differs in appearance and manner of execution. Bows made of ribbons can decorate clothes, bags, decor elements in the house.

The bow "Dior" is made from several turns of a tape. All subsequent turns must be smaller than the previous ones. They fit one another.

A small cut of the tape is necessary to connect all parts of the bow, even the smallest coil, together.

In order to make a bow of ribbons, which will look like a lush flower, you need an average width of the ribbon. It is taken for the edge (we retreat in advance fifteen centimeters) and, leaving a curl, one end of the tape is crossed with the other. The operation is repeated several times. After all the curls are laid, hold the index finger to the center of the flower so that it does not fall apart. The middle is tied with a small ribbon of the same material from which the ribbon is made.

The most popular and common is a bow from a classic style ribbon . There are two ways of making it. The difference between them is how the central part of the bow is fixed. Fixation is performed by the same ribbon as the bow. A narrow tape of twenty centimeters long is folded into four layers by an accordion. It turns out three folds. It is necessary to hold the tape so that there are two folds on top and one on the bottom. Folds are crossed and the remaining turn is passed through the hole that formed from the bottom. With the help of such manipulations, a nodule is created. For another way of tying classical bows, you need two tapes. A ribbon bow is fixed with a second small ribbon. The first is the base of the bow. First, the edges of the main segment of the ribbon are crossed, resulting in a circle. Two centimeters should be left free. The middle of the tape is crossed with its ends and fixed with a thread. The second tape wraps the first one. In this case, the seam should be hidden. On the reverse side of the bow make a knot.

Materials for making bows are many. For this, tapes made of nylon, satin, satin and others are taken. Very original when you receive the gift will look a bow of paper tape. He will add comfort and spontaneity to the holiday atmosphere.
