How to tie a bow on a fork

When you give your friends and relatives an unusually decorated gift, it causes a smile on their faces. And you, in turn, make the desired impression. Option of fast and accurate decoration of the gift is a bow on the fork, which will have to be ever more useful. Ideally it will look like an accessory for clothes, and as a hairpin for an elegant hairstyle.

In order to tie a bow on a fork, you will need an ordinary fork and ribbon (this can be tulle or organza). First you need to put the ribbon on the fork so that a piece of 4-5 cm long remains on the right side. Then, wrap the long tip of the tape around the fork so that it comes out from below the short tip, but on the right side. In order to get a beautiful bow on a fork with two wings on each side, the ribbon needs to be wrapped around the fork one more time. Then we pierce the long tip in the slot in the middle of the device and run the tape down. In the loop that we got, when we passed the tape in the middle of the fork, it is necessary to have this long tip.

It is important that the tip of the tape comes out on the left side. Next, straighten the ends so that they are on the front side of the tape to the instrument. Well pulling the long tip up, tighten the bow. And, voila, our bow on the fork is ready. To ensure that the ends of our product are not unraveled, gently scorch the edges of the slices. Thus, we get an extraordinarily beautiful bow on the fork, the scheme of which is quite simple. At you all by all means will turn out from the first. Also, bows can be decorated with beads, sequins or paillettes.

Larger bows can be made using glue, scissors and tape. Take any ribbon with a width of 5 cm and a length of 25 cm. Take it one end to the middle and hold it with your finger. The second end, start a little further and fix the middle. Twist it with a thread so that the bow does not fall apart. Next, take a ribbon of the same color, about 15 cm long. On the place where the threads are located, glue one edge of the tape. Wrap a piece around the bow and glue it. So we got a beautiful bow, which can be used as a hair clip, elastic band or brooch.

In order to make a volumetric gift bow, we will need all the same ribbon from organza. From 20-30 cm of a piece of ribbon we pull off a thin strip 1 cm wide. Put aside the two resulting ribbons and take the main one, reel it 10 times per hand. It is necessary to arrange the fingers widely. The wound tape is removed from the hand and clamped in the middle with your fingers. Next, you need to cut corners from the top and bottom, cut off corners should be in your fingers. Now with your free hand take a thick ribbon and grab it in the middle to the workpiece. Then wrap the structure with a narrow ribbon and tie a knot from the back side. The case for small - stick out the petals of the bow from the middle and twist them around your axis. In the end, remember the bow slightly, straightening the petals.

Thanks to these methods, you can make a beautiful bow on the fork and other voluminous bows with your own hands, which will decorate any gift.
