Getting Started: What You Will Need
Tape
Bows
Ribbon
Gift Bag
Scissors
Ornaments
Wrapping Paper
Gift Shred Tinsel
- Starting with a box that I already had wrapped. It’s time to create your bow! With your box right side facing up, measure out your ribbon evenly across the box (this step can be done vertically or horizontally). You will be using a lot of your ribbon in the next few steps, so don’t be afraid to go for it.
- Next, you want to flip your box over and pinch your ribbon where you want your intersection to occur.
- After pinching, twist your ribbon to go in the opposite direction. Your goal is to make a “cross” along the bottom of the package.
- Next flip the box back over, and tie your pretty box! There are a million and one ways to make bows, but a simple one is perfectly fine for what we are doing.
- To bump your present up a few more notches, add a few ornaments to the center of the bow to give it that “Wow” factor. And Voila!
