No solemn event or an extremely significant event is complete without a gift. Accepting a souvenir as a gift or a thing that has been waiting for a long time, the recipient of the gift does not pay the last attention to its design. Often, the process itself depends on how the content is packaged: hardly anyone will like the poorly designed presentation design. In addition to the shiny and sparkling packaging in the light, the binding of the gift is also important.
How to choose?
You do not need to be a great master to arrange a surprise that is about to be donated, which is already in the box. But choosing the right tape is equally important. Pay attention not only to the color of the ribbon, but also to the material from which it is made. The tape may be as follows:
- satin - high-quality synthetics with a smooth and shiny surface, pleasant-looking and silky to the touch, durable, easy to wash and iron, in general - never let you down;
- wire-bound organza - New fashion, excellent style and vision of design, bright rainbow colors and sparkle, perfectly complemented by patterns and design based on embroidery; the disadvantage is rapid crushing and rash of sequins, requires careful handling;
- lace ribbon - advantages include unique presentation at the expense of a unique look and catchy design; the size and color of each of these tapes leaves an excellent opportunity to choose the most suitable option;
- polypropylene tape protected from rapid aging of fading; Mostly such a tape is painted in the same shade, but there are variants with additional drawing.
Ways of tying
The most elegant option is the satin ribbon. However, you can use a twine or a thin rope, painted and decorated properly. The packaging itself with a gift, if initially it did not please the original and elegant design, can be trimmed with decorative craft paper.
The easiest bow
To decorate a box with a present with a simple satin ribbon bow, it is advisable to take such a ribbon at least 5 cm wide. Do the following:
- measure a piece of tape of the desired length with a small margin;
- clamp one of its ends in a place where there will be a knot;
- holding the harness by the free end, circle it around the package from all sides, crossing it with the fixed part;
- take another turn around the package;
- stretch the end of the ribbon under the core and tie it tightly with a knot, and then tie the rest with a bow;
- at the ends, cut the tied ribbon along an oblique line - it is an oblique cut that will give the ribbon an additional charm, while the edges will remain even and neat.
The bow can be located either strictly parallel to one of the lateral planes of the package, or be rotated diagonally in any direction.
Two-tiered bow
Making a two-tiered bow is also very easy. To do this, do the following:
- two satin strips of different widths are used to form two rings;
- after cutting off one more additional piece, tie up with it both parts of the strapping, rolling it in the middle of these segments;
- individually make the shanks of the same length and attach them to the back of the bow.
Important! If necessary, it is permissible to make several such parts, and then glue them, already tying the main part of the tape.
Three-tiered bow
Tying a gift ribbon with a three-tiered bow is a little more difficult when compared to a two-tiered one. The step-by-step instruction here is as follows:
- use three small satin ribbons with different lengths and colors; align them with each other, starting with the narrowest;
- tie three pieces in the middle;
- Wrap and tie three ribbons on the gift box and secure the bow.
Dior style bow
The ideal option is to use a red satin ribbon, which will give the president a special charm. Do the following:
- cut the satin ribbon on a section with a different length;
- glue each part of the ribbon in the form of a ring;
- wrap the gift package with a ribbon and mark the location of the bow - it is best to attach it in the middle of the upper part of the box;
- Attach the workpiece tape to each other, starting with the least;
- cut two small pieces of ribbon, one of them attach in the form of a ringlet in the center, and with the help of the other, open the point of fastening of all parts.
The resulting version is very versatile - it will fit any gift or souvenir, regardless of the size and design of the latter. The bow "Dior" is lightly performed by the hands. It is only important to decide on the technique of execution and design. For such a performance, any ribbon will do - it does not have to be satin. In the end, the design of the gift is determined mainly by the preferences and fantasies of the giver.
Minimalistic design when making a presentation
If none of the above options come up with a wide and beautiful ribbon, kraft paper and twine are exactly what you need. With the help of paper and cord paraphernalia make all the same packages and Christmas souvenirs. For example, if Christmas-tree decorations are presented as gifts, a simple package with decorative paper of a low-key design would be a good option.
At the same time, it is tied with twine in the form of the same simple bow and is additionally decorated with natural pine or spruce twig. Additionally, the postcard or a beautifully decorated note in the form of a decorative envelope or airplane, delicately planted with a bow, can decorate the package.
Whatever the tricky scheme of wrapping the package with the upcoming gift, no matter how bright the packaging itself was, here the main thing is the bright and kind feelings shown by the donor to the person being awarded. So, if a beloved girl acts as a gift recipient, then the love for her will finally tell the guy how to decorate the presented gift correctly.
