Bow.
We impose a ribbon with polka dots on a white satin ribbon 20 cm long in length. Let's focus on the middle. We process the edges of the tape over the fire of a lighter or candle, soldering the tapes together.

We do two things.

There are many ways to make a bow. In order for the work to move faster, I connected the elements of several.
We put the edges of the tape on top of each other with a slight smell and sew with a basting seam. Thread in two additions.

Without cutting the thread, we also sew the second part. Both parts of the bow are on the same thread. We do not cut the thread!

By bending the ribbons in half, we outline the middle of each.

We connect the fold line and the seam line. We pass both tapes with a basting seam in the reverse order.

We tighten the thread, make two or three turns along the seam line and fasten with a few stitches. Cut the thread with scissors. It turns out such a bow.

Flower.
For a flower, you will need 6 pieces of satin white ribbon 2.5 cm wide. We fold the segment at a right angle, we try to make the sides of the angle equal.

We turn the workpiece by connecting the points AA and BB. I solder the petal blank in the corners to make further work easier.

We fold the petal in half along the length with the satin side inward.

Bend each side lengthwise outward. We solder the edge with a lighter or over a candle fire.

It turns out here is such a petal.

We make 5 more petals. Only 6 petals.

Apply hot glue to the base of one of the petals, attach the second, fix the tweezers.

Sequentially glue the rest of the petals. We fasten the first and last together with hot glue.
The flower is ready. We add the middle.

Assembly.
On the reverse side of the bow, we fix the elastic band with hot glue.

A piece of white satin ribbon 1 cm wide and 9 cm long is fixed with hot glue in the middle of the bow on the front side.

We make a double turn and fix the edge of the tape with hot glue.

We fix the flower in the middle of the bow with hot glue. Our bow is ready!

Bows are everywhere. Mothers tie their daughters' hair with them. They serve as accessories for clothes and shoes.

Bouquets of flowers decorated with them look more impressive. Gifts, beautifully packaged and tied with an openwork ribbon, will not leave anyone indifferent. For the manufacture of bows, a wide variety of materials and techniques are used, depending on what result you want to achieve.

How beautiful to tie a bow from a satin ribbon

How beautiful to tie a bow around your neck

A neckerchief with the right selection will fit into any situation and will suit any outfit. To add charm to the image, you can give this accessory the shape of a bow. A bow can be laconic and small, reminiscent of a male butterfly, or lush and bright, drawing attention to itself.

For such a "decor" you will need a scarf of small width and thickness. It must be folded into a thin strip and proceed to the design of the butterfly.

Put the resulting "harness" on the neck so that one of the hanging ends is longer;
Cross the ends of the strip, placing the long side on top, and then stretching it through the bottom into the resulting loop;
Give the short side the shape of a half-bow, and lower the long side over the central part of the decoration;
From the long end, fold the second half bow and pull the element through the loop behind the first half bow;
Tighten the "butterfly";
Straighten the halves of the decoration, achieving their symmetry.

Volume

This option is performed with a regular width scarf and, despite the simplicity of execution, looks extremely impressive.

Wrap a scarf around your neck;
Give the ends of the accessory the shape of loops;
Weave the loops, tying them into a knot;
Straighten the resulting bow, making it as lush as possible.

How beautiful to tie a bow on a dress

Bows attached to a dress can be an ordinary decoration, or they can draw attention to advantages or hide flaws. All these qualities will be in the hands of any lady.

You can place a figuratively tied ribbon on any part of the dress. Lush jewelry options are more suitable for tight-fitting outfits, while neat and modest ones are more suitable for looser ones.

Depending on the placement of the tape, you can focus on the belt, chest (décolleté), shoulders and other attractive curves of the female body. In many cases, fashionistas buy ready-made bows and attach them in the right place.

One of the options for self-production of such an element is as follows:

Fold the two ends of the ribbons of the necessary material in the form of loops and cross with each other;
Fix the central part with a brooch or pin with decorations;
Sew an accessory to any part of the dress where needed.

Bow with one loop

Very simple, but aesthetic and timeless option.

A bow from one loop is made as follows:

As in the classic version, you need to start with two loops;
One of the ends must be circled around the second and stretched ½ into the knot;
The second end must be threaded into the knot to the end, leaving it to hang freely.

How beautiful to tie a bow on the belt

A classic bow in the belt area can be considered a universal accessory for a dress of any style:

Fold the ends of the belt in the form of loops;
Cross the resulting loops;
Skip one of the elements into the loop formed by the crossed ends;
Gently tighten the resulting knot and straighten the bow.

How to tie a beautiful ribbon bow on chairs

Usually bows on chairs appear during the preparation of premises for various solemn events. Before fixing the decoration, it is customary to cover each chair with a cover of a harmonizing color, but this is not necessary.

In addition, the use of such an accessory implies compliance with the following rules:

Do not break the festive concept with out-of-print colors or inappropriate bow design;
To stiffen the shape, use organza ribbons;
Make sure that the edges of the ribbons are neatly processed and do not create an untidy impression.

As in any other case, the most commonly used bow for decorating chairs is the classic one.

If there is no cover on the chair, then you can do the following:

Fold the ribbon for the bow in half;
Hang the strip on the back of the chair so that a “loop” hangs from the inner (which the seated person touches) side of the back, and two tails from the other;
Under the crossbar, thread both tails into a loop and tighten the tape a little;
If you wish, you can stop at this, or you can wrap the adhesion point with the ends of the tape (initially you need to direct them in opposite directions) and also tie the decoration.

The bow can be lowered and raised along the back, adjusting the height of its location. It is also allowed to place several such strips side by side.

How beautiful to tie bows on September 1

In order for the day of knowledge to leave behind a lot of good impressions and a charge of vivacity for the next academic year, it is necessary to properly prepare for it. Last but not least, the girls associate the training with a brand new uniform and beautiful white bows in their hair. There are several ways to bring this idea to life.

Method number 1: Pleated bow

This option is usually preferred by teenage girls as it looks very cute and romantic.

Required:

wide nylon ribbon;
a thin elastic band (preferably to match the hair).

Step-by-step instruction:

Using an elastic band, fix the hair - this is the basis;
Tie the ribbon around the hair, distributing it so that one of the "tails" is approximately 2/3 of the total length;
Fold the longer end three times, and tie the resulting layers short;
Straighten the fabric, making it voluminous and lush.

Method number 2: Four petals

Lush decoration, great for school celebrations.

Required:

Unfold all loops.

Method number 3: Lush flower

Exquisite DIY satin ribbon decoration: quick and easy.

Required:

long satin ribbon;
thread (to match the color of the tape);
thin hair band.

Sequencing:

Skip the thread along the middle of the tape;
Move the satin as far as possible along the thread, collecting it into an "accordion";
Roll up the resulting assembly like a snail, fix the base with a thread;
Sew a fabric flower to the elastic band.

Options for a beautifully tied bow on a gift box

The gift is good and important in itself, but it makes the right impression only with the appropriate design. First of all, this applies to the bows decorating the gift box. They can take on completely different forms.

Terry

Its other name is multilayer.

This is a win-win option that allows you to achieve the desired effect.

Fold the satin ribbon several times;
Make cuts as shown in the picture;
Fold the satin so that the incisions are in the center of the strip, tie this point with a small piece of ribbon;
Pull out all the petals one by one (taking them out to the right, then to the left), moving from the inner to the outer, and fluff them well;
If necessary, process the edges of the bow (so as not to crumble).

Lush

This decoration is made of three ribbons of different widths and colors.

It creates a very cozy impression and is especially suitable for the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Fold a medium-width strip of fabric 4 times so that each next layer goes exactly on top of the previous one;
First, give the widest ribbon a similar shape, and then straighten the layers so that they lie crosswise relative to each other;
Put the first element on top of the second, and drag everything in the center with a thin ribbon.

When tying a bow, you should always take into account its compatibility with surrounding objects, materials and purpose of use. Of the materials, it is better to prefer denser ones, since silk does not hold its shape well enough, which negatively affects the appearance.

Two ways to tie the simplest satin ribbon bows are in the next video.

Good day, my dear friends! When the time of the holidays approaches (especially the last calls and September 1), such an item as a ribbon bow becomes especially relevant. This accessory is so popular with schoolchildren, mothers and just needlewomen that I could not get around it and decided to dedicate a whole post to bows.

In fact, various kinds of bows are found in our lives so often that we don’t even notice it - in jewelry, clothes, even used as an element of a school uniform ... In general, if you want to learn how to make bows from a variety of types of ribbons, then welcome !

Beautiful do-it-yourself ribbon bows: master classes

In fact, learning how to tie even the most complex bows yourself is not so difficult. Instructions with a large number of photos, which I have prepared for you in abundance today, will help with this. There will be both selections 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 all over the world. The material has found application in various fields of creativity, not an exception for steel and decorations based on various 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 simplest classic bow

A basic bow that any beginner should learn to make is shown below. For him, you can take both a narrow and a very wide tape - it will turn out from any.

Work process:

Fold the ribbon over the two halves of the ribbon over the index fingers of both hands.
Cross the halves and slip one into the other.
Tighten the product. Ready!

On the basis of such a bow, you can make a chic decoration. It will be enough just to fill it with waterproof glue or shiny acrylic varnish, then attach the rings to which the chain will be fastened.

It will not be difficult to tie the same bow on a fork, with its help it will turn out to be more accurate and even (although you can create a very beautiful accessory on your fingers). There is also a limitation for such an “assistant” - it is useful only when creating very small bows, for larger products you will have to resort to the traditional method.

double tape

The double bow is performed 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 it.

Fold two rings in the middle and sew or glue so that they are in contact with 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; such beauty will not come out of a thin, narrow material. If your choice goes to a width of 2.5-5 cm, then this will be the ideal solution.

A variation of such a bow of two ribbons can be such an analogue: in this case, two rings are superimposed in the middle on each other. You can also experiment with colors - for example, create a red or green bow, or even combine one or more 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.

Layered puffy bow

A great option for schoolgirls and not only. Such a bow is easy to put on a hairpin or comb to attach to your hair. It is based on two simple bows discussed earlier.

To fold this, you will need to make a base of two overlapping layers. From the ribbons folded in this way, the back will be obtained. The front is similar to the simplest first bow. At the end, they must be connected with glue or thread. Everything is held together by a central piece.

In this way, you can get more voluminous accessories, like the white bow below. There is one difference here - the basis is not two layers, but three.

Romantic and sophisticated, this addition to the image will please any graduate who wants to indulge in nostalgia. But this option, unlike jewelry for girls, is more adult and feminine, and this is exactly what is needed in such cases.

Twisted bow of 3-4 ribbons

Very beautiful bow, which 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, must be sewn with an infinity sign and put one into the other. Draw the middle as in a few microns earlier.

Kanzashi

Many beautiful bows are made using the kanzashi technique. This type of creativity came, as you might guess, from distant Japan. There, in this way, magnificent details are created to complement not only everyday, but also festive outfits.

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 ribbon 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 kind of decoration between the layers and attach the second layer made in the same way. Don't forget the bead in the middle.

Another variation of simple but beautiful petals is located below. Here the flowers come out more pointed.

A more elegant white flower is created below. In the step-by-step 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 either a pair or five or six layers gradually increasing in number of elements.

Bow for discharge from the hospital

Newborns (and children in general) deserve the best! That is why I have found for you a beautiful bow that will suit both girls and boys. For it, you will need a sufficiently long tape (at least three meters).

In the middle, make a winding of several layers and then a knot as in the photo. After that, you will need to pull out a few petals formed by previously folded rings.

Why leave such long ends around the edges? The fact is that you will need to tie them around the long-awaited bundle, leaving a beautiful center in front. At one time, I generally purchased a five-meter ribbon - the nurse imposed such beauty from it that we still remember with a smile with the whole family.

How to tie a ribbon bow

Rep ribbon is good because, unlike satin, it is less prone to various kinds of damage. Satin should only be hooked once and that's it - the appearance of the bow is spoiled. With reps, such a trick will not work, but it also costs more.

Baby bows

The combination of several types of tapes looks very interesting. In this case, colors are also combined, which, nevertheless, look very organic. The polka dot ribbon is just perfect! Such a bow will decorate the girl's head for a holiday and in everyday life. For him, you will need to connect two tucked parts, as was seen earlier in the master classes. The top will be decorated with a classic variation.

On an elastic band

Collecting a magnificent bow on an elastic band is not difficult. To do this, you will 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 semblance of crosses with serifs at the ends.

You can connect all this splendor with ribbons 1 cm wide, bandaging the middle. You can attach a bow to the elastic with a glue gun or something similar.

A bright school-themed bow explodes early ideas of what a school accessory should be. It's just a bomb!

Butterfly 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, bending the edges under each other, as in the photo below. You will need three of these layers. Under them, attach a longer ribbon so that you can tie it at the back. In MK it is very short, in this form it can be left for a simple accessory.

And here is another fun variation of a bow tie. Nothing more or less bird feathers are used here, connected by a ribbon in the middle. An interesting interpretation of the standard butterfly, isn't it?

By the way, a butterfly bow can also be made from fabric, a master class on this below.

Bows for gift boxes

To tie a bow on a gift box, you will need not only ribbon, but also different types of wrapping paper.

big bow

A very large accessory for a very large gift. Such a bow can be made from a ribbon, but it is better to use wrapping paper, which will take a lot for such a work.

Insert a small box into the base of the decorative element. It may be a surprise or it may just be the basis for such an accessory. Place it in the center of the square, which close its edges at the top and bottom. Tuck the free edges as in the photo below (as if wrapping an envelope). Press the middle and wrap it with a small piece of paper of sufficient length. Straighten the edges to make them as fluffy as possible.

This bow can be used on its own or as a decorative piece for a huge surprise.

Beautiful for a gift

The next fluffy bow has an incredible Christmas mood. They literally breathe from him! For this, you will need to fold the ribbon as shown below, overlapping and tying several layers together.

Place a few bows on top of the structure, folded as shown below. Decorate the middle with a beautiful 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 bows for a gift? Read about it in another article.

Nylon bows

Nylon ribbon 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, thicker on top of it. Wrap the thicker ribbon around the tines of the fork many times, forming a braid. A thinner ribbon becomes the central part of such a flower.

A semicircular metal template will help to “cut” the petals with a small resemblance of a soldering iron. To do this, two ribbons - nylon and satin - must be folded as shown below. After that, the middle is bent inward and you will need a lot of such petals. They merge into one layer, then another, and so on, until you get a fluffy layered bow that can be used to decorate hair.

In the next accessory, nylon ribbon is used only as an additional accessory, decorating the 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 gift category, 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 make an incision in the middle, which will need to be tied with a thin fishing line, around which the ends should be tied. The most important step is coming: you need to pull out all the ends of the folded tape to get a very magnificent design.

Such a bow will decorate a Christmas tree or simply decorate an apartment.

A similar accessory can be made from a denser ribbon and even from burlap. It will be more difficult to pull out the ends, but the effect will turn out to be more unexpected and extraordinary.

Photos of other beautiful bows

How are they not made out! In the form of elegant brooches, bracelets and much more. For example, the accessory below will be an interesting addition to a festive outfit.

Another lace bow with a bead inside.

In general, thanks to lace, even the simplest design begins to look more original and festive.

Just look how you can spruce up your pen by adding layers of lace and satin ribbons to it.

A bow on the rim will turn an ordinary girl into a doll hurrying to the ball.

Roses as bows. Great, isn't it?

The bow on the dress looks very impressive and original.

Ready-made jewelry for a gift or beautiful packaging tapes are not always at hand. What if you want to make gift wrapping beautiful? Make a bow yourself from improvised materials, namely from paper. How to make a paper bow with which you can decorate a gift? It just takes a little patience and effort.

Curly hair can be not only on the crown

Do original cascade of curls you can, having acquired plain paper, preferably very thin. We cut a sheet of paper into thin strips, up to 1-1.5 cm, and then with the blunt side of the scissors we give them the shape of curls, drawing along one of the sides of the paper. Curls form instantly. For this purpose, you can use ordinary wrapping paper. Having made the required number of curls, we fasten them with a stapler and attach them to the gift, gluing or similarly fixing them. Curls can be located both along the perimeter of the box and fall from the central part.

How to make a paper butterfly

To make a butterfly bow, you will need two types of paper. One is denser and brighter (it can be a photograph from a magazine), the second should be one and a half to two times smaller and depict the body of a butterfly. We make the most ordinary fan from a larger sheet. From a small one, we similarly make a fan, trying to make the folds the same. The fan is divided into three parts and slightly cut on the right and left sides, retreating from the edge by 2-5 cm (depending on the size of the sheet). We impose a smaller sheet on a larger sheet: in such a way that the folds coincide and in the central part we press and tie the two parts together. Carefully straighten, giving a magnificent shape - and the butterfly is ready. To make the product more catchy, it makes sense to use old magazines with pictures, fashion catalogs and others that have bright colors on paper.

Bow Dior

An unusual bow can be made by preparing four rings of decreasing diameter. The smallest should be such that it takes up no more than 50% of the width of the last ring. The rings must be slightly overlapped, the upper and lower central parts should be glued in the same way. The rings also need to be glued, laying one in the middle of the second, and connected across the perpendicular with a narrow paper tape, thus obtaining an original decoration. The tape is taken in one color, but to give some contrast, it is worth taking a transverse paper piece of a different shade.

As for the Dior bow, you can connect its two halves together, getting a more lush and voluminous inflorescence. It will look very beautiful and unusual.

Original paper chrysanthemum

To get an original and lush chrysanthemum, you need to take paper of a bright or light color (for example, pink or bright red) and cut out ten to fifteen polygons. They should be in the form of hexagons or be similar to flags, but so that everything is fastened together. We stack the cut out figures on top of each other and stab them on top with a pin or a needle with a tip, the top of which can be shaped like a pestle by pushing a white or yellowish cap. It turns out gorgeous paper flower.

Combinations with paper ribbons and curls

Can be done quickly and easily original decoration with curls. We cut out four strips of paper in the form of thin and long ribbons, the ends of which we give an unusual shape, for example, like a flag, in the form of the letter “V”. We put two ribbons side by side on a box or a package with a gift (with a small interval), cover them on top in the same way with two of the same ribbons and glue them at the junction. On top of the glued tapes, we attach other pieces of paper, similar in width, placing them perpendicularly. There will be four sections in total. We draw the blunt edge of the scissors along the last attached pieces of paper tapes, giving them the shape of a curl. Everything: the decoration is ready.

In the same way, you can experiment with the color of ribbons, using, for example, white and scarlet pieces of paper, creating compositions from thin and thick curlicue rings. Or by putting such curls into rings of a larger diameter.

How to make a simple and original bow?

A beautiful multi-colored paper bow is obtained by taking eight pieces of paper of three shades of the same length but different widths. Colors can be taken as follows, for example: the widest stripe is blue, the narrower one is purple, and the top one is pale pink. Glue the strips of paper on top of each other. We bend the edges of the strips in the form of an envelope, connect them together and form two inflorescences in the form of a trefoil. We connect them together. In the central part of the decoration we attach thin bows. They should be done like this: cut very thin strips as thick as a straw, which should be glued into a ring and then additionally connected in the center, getting a thin bow.

To the resulting decoration, you can glue a thicker ring on top of thin bows, which will crown the central part. From below, you can attach two ribbons, from the wrong side.

Most importantly, when creating paper jewelry, don't be afraid to experiment. After all, you can create compositions by unusually combining curls, ribbons, diamonds and irregular polygons, bows and fans. The main task of such jewelry is to add a certain zest to the presented gift, interior, and even fancy dress. A little strength and patience - and everything will work out!

To make the ends look neat and not crumble, they should be processed. First, cut them with sharp scissors at an angle of 45 degrees. On openwork designs, a V-shape in the form of a dovetail looks great.

Then take a lighter or match and singe the edges, keeping the fire at a distance of a centimeter from the fabric.

How to make a bow from a satin ribbon with your own hands

This method is ideal for any synthetic materials.

The easiest way is to cover the ends with PVA glue. This method does not look very aesthetically pleasing, so it is only suitable for designs in which the tips will be hidden under the folds.

Classical

The gift box will be decorated with a classic do-it-yourself ribbon bow, a simple step-by-step master class will help you make it in just 5 minutes:

Lay the ribbon face down on the table and cross the ends in the middle so that a loop forms on each side.
Lay the formed loops on top of each other crosswise.
Wrap the left loop around the right loop, then pass it through the center loop formed and tighten the bow.

From thin and airy fabrics, the product will turn out to be lifeless and sluggish in appearance, so use dense satin, rep or crepe satin for its manufacture.

Bicolor

An unusual two- or three-color bow will be a wonderful decoration for a hair clip or hair hoop. You will need stripes of different colors, and each new one should be narrower than the previous one.

Lay out two stripes of contrasting colors on the work surface so that the narrow one is on top.
Roll the workpiece into a ring and fasten it with glue.
Iron the workpiece with an iron through a sheet of thick paper.
Bandage the middle and straighten the edges.

You can combine more colors with each other, the main thing is to select stripes of different widths in order to demonstrate all the color layers of the product.

Extravagant

A large lush bow made of satin ribbons, made by yourself, will decorate a hoop, hairpin or headdress. For this master class, you will need 115 centimeters of wide tape and a piece of thin wire.

Measure 20 centimeters from the edge and make the first loop, holding its base between your fingers.
Wielding the long end, make a similar loop next to the first.
Then make another loop, but on the opposite side.
Continue to form the structure, alternating loops on different sides. As a result, you should get a blank in the shape of a butterfly.
A piece of wire should be wrapped around the center of the workpiece and cut off the excess with scissors.
Take a short strip of fabric in a contrasting color and wrap it around the center of the piece to mask the wire.
Straighten the loops and give the product a rounded shape so that it looks like a lush flower.

Organza, satin or silk is suitable as a material for this master class. The airy structure can be additionally decorated with a decorative cord or a beautiful plastic brooch can be glued to the center.

Openwork

How to make an elegant openwork ribbon bow with your own hands? Very simple, you just need to prepare two meters of satin, a glue gun and transparent tape in advance.

Take a box decorated with wrapping paper and wrap the tape around it, after smearing it with glue.
Two long ends should remain on the lid of the box, take one of them and twist a large loop, gluing its edge to the center of the lid.
Then the loop must be assembled, making several smaller loops out of its folds and fixing their bases with glue.
Then repeat the same with the other end.

Remember that the volume of the future product depends on the number of small loops. To make the design more voluminous, make the loops as small as possible.

Lush

For curvy shapes, it is better to use rigid materials that hold their shape well, such as velvet. To clearly see how to make an elegant ribbon bow with your own hands, use the instructional video with a visual master class.

Take a long ribbon and wrap it around your palm a few times.
Trim the corners of the workpiece from each edge.
Dissolve the workpiece and twist the same number of turns again, but so that the cut corners are in the middle.
Bandage the middle and begin to carefully pull out each turn and straighten the petals, twisting them along the axis.

Now the decoration remains only to fluff up and attach to the gift using double-sided tape.

On the basis of classical techniques, you can make designer bows, complementing them with beads, sequins or perforations, and use them to decorate handmade candles or hairstyles for September 1 - the scope for imagination is limitless.

How to make a bow out of paper or ribbon

You can make beautiful bows from different materials, but paper and various ribbons are considered the most popular. Let's take a look at the most popular manufacturing methods from these materials below.

paper technology

Graceful and unusual "jagged" decorations will appeal to anyone, and if you master the technique of execution, you can make such a miracle yourself.

For manufacturing it is necessary to prepare:

paper of sufficient density (old posters are perfect);
scissors;
glue or stationery stapler;
ruler.

How to make a paper bow:

Cut strips of paper of the same thickness.
Using a ruler, measure pieces of different lengths.
Roll each piece at an angle without deforming the paper.
Fasten two pieces together to make a kind of "eight".
In total, three large and medium "eights" are needed, as well as two small ones.
Make the last figure simply in the form of a circle.
Starting from the longest "eights", lay out three pieces in the form of a circle, then fasten them in the middle.
The average length of the "eight" is also fixed in the form of a circle.
Lay out the middle “circle” on a large figure so that the teeth fall in a checkerboard pattern.
The remaining two “eights” of small size are fixed crosswise and set on top of the resulting figure.
The “top” of our bow will be a paper circle laid on its side.

To illustrate the process of assembling a paper bow, there is a photograph illustrating the process in an accessible way.

An original and very delicate bow is obtained in a different way. To do this, it is enough to cut out curly parts from colored paper (it is better to do this according to a template) and fasten them together, as shown in the photo. For variety, you can use several colors, as well as paper with drawings. Having shown due ingenuity, you can independently come up with new figures for an exclusive model.

Lush bows for hairstyles from satin ribbons can be easily made by yourself. At the same time, the cost of the product is several times less than the price of a store bow. The diameter of the finished product will be 14 cm, if you want to get products of a larger or smaller diameter, then proportionally change the size of the tape segments.

So, to make such a satin bow with your own hands, you need:

Six cuts:

Satin ribbon 5 cm wide, 14 cm long;

Tapes 2.5 cm wide, 10.5 cm long;

Silver ribbon 0.3 cm wide, 15 cm long;

Silver ribbon 0.3 cm wide, 8 cm long;

A circle of felt with a diameter of 5.5-6 cm;

Decoration for the middle of the bow;

Threads in tone, needle, scissors;

Lighter or soldering iron, glue gun or moment-crystal glue;

Elastic band, hairpin or clip for the base.

Before assembling the bow, be sure to process the edges of the cut pieces with a lighter so that they do not crumble during work. Fold 6 five-centimeter pieces in half and collect them on a double thread, pull the thread so that you get a flower and fasten.

In the same way, make a second flower from pieces of ribbon 2.5 cm wide. Then make ears from pieces of silver ribbon, as shown in the figure. Glue the ends with glue or a glue gun.

On the large flower, glue large silver ears, one per petal, so that they peek out nicely from under the top flower.

Glue the second flower on top and, on it, smaller ears according to the same principle. Close the core with the prepared decoration. A bead, a button, a medallion will do.

On the reverse side, glue a felt circle to the bow, and attach an elastic band to it, for example. If you will use a clip or hairpin, then pre-paste them with rep tape to match.

Your bow is ready. It took less than an hour to make an elegant satin bow with your own hands.

Lush satin ribbon bow decorated with rhinestones

We will teach you how to make this wonderful decoration with your own hands in a master class. This version of an elegant bow, which you can make yourself, will delight any first grader. An elegant unusual bow is made very simply, but it will take more time to complete it, since it consists of a large number of details. Please note that you need to carefully complete each blank, since the overall appearance of the bow depends on how well each element is made. If you do not have the skill to work with satin ribbons, prepare materials for 5-7 extra blanks.

Materials for work:

Tape 2.5 cm wide and 6 meters long;

Rhinestones or beads with a diameter of half a hundred meters;

Lighter or soldering iron, scissors, moment-crystal glue, ruler, pencil;

A circle of felt with a diameter of 5 cm, fastening - an elastic band or a hairpin.

We cut about 50 pieces of tape eleven centimeters long, process the edges of the pieces with a lighter.

Fold each piece in half, satin side inward, drip a small drop of glue on the satin side at a distance of 2-3 centimeters from the fold in the middle and press with your fingers. When the tape sticks well, turn it inside out with the satin side out. It turns out here is such a detail.

Then we fold this part in the form of a bow, so that the glued area is in the center, and the edges of the tape are bent to it from the back side.

We decorate the blank with a rhinestone or a bead. We make at least fifty such details. This is the most important stage of work, if a neat workpiece did not work out right away, we advise you to practice a little before performing the “finishing” parts.

When the details are ready, we collect the bow. On a felt circle, we begin to glue blanks in a circle with a slight overlap. Should fit 11-14 pieces in the first circle.

We glue the second and subsequent circles in a similar way, slowly moving towards the center of the felt circle, the number of elements in a row will decrease as it approaches the center. So you should get several circles, gradually decreasing in diameter.

The more elements, the more magnificent the bow will be. After all the blanks are glued, we attach an elastic band or a hairpin with glue or a glue gun, you can add ribbons for tying. A bright lush bow is ready.

These bows are sure to please your little princesses. You can decorate your hair with them both on weekdays and on holidays; with these accessories, novice fashionistas will look elegant and neat.
