1) classic bow

A classic bow out of time, fashion, space and circumstance. The main thing is that the ribbon does not wrinkle when tying.

2) Strict bow

Fold the ribbon in half as shown in the picture. We fix the junction of the ends of the tape with glue and smooth it with your hand. We take a small piece of tape (you can use a different color) to wrap it around an unsightly joint. We glue the ends of the second ribbon on the back of the product - and the bow is ready.

3) Tiered bow

To create such a bow, you should take three ribbon cuts of different widths and colors. Cut them so that the widest piece is the longest, and the narrowest is the shortest. Form the ends of the bow. Now tie the folded pieces together with another piece of ribbon, leaving long ends to secure the tiered bow to the gift bag.

4) Two-color bow

After such manipulations, dealing with a two-color bow will be as easy as shelling pears. We take narrow and wide ribbons different colors. First, we form a loop from a wide tape, fastening its ends with glue, and then we do the same with a narrow tape superimposed on it. We iron the resulting “sandwich” tightly with our hands and fix it from the inside in the center with glue or a paper clip. The final bow is formed with a third piece of ribbon long enough to tie to the gift bag.

5) Dior bow

Some say that the Dior bow is a complicated version of the "strict" bow. We glue the “rings” from pieces of tape of different lengths, which we then connect with each other using glue or a stapler. A half-finished bow is placed on the base - a ribbon with cut ends. And with the third - small - piece of tape, you should mask the paper clip by gluing its ends from the inside of the bow.

6) Flower bow

The first step in creating this fantastic flower will be a simple ring, which you will make from ribbon, holding it with your thumb and forefinger. This movement should be repeated until there are more than ten such rings in the hand, depending on the desired size of the bow. We will tie the rings in the middle with a long narrow ribbon, straighten the loops one by one - and fix it on the gift.

7) Terry bow

A terry bow (in foreign sources called the ambiguous playful Pom-pom) will look more spectacular and more elegant if you take a ribbon made of a rigid material that can hold its shape.

We turn it into several rings, the diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the future bow. We smooth the loops and make diagonal cuts as shown in the figure. We fold the loops again so that the cut out triangles are in the center of the folded strips of fabric lying in front of us. Then you should tightly pull the slots with tape or wire and alternately straighten all the loops on each side of the bow, starting from the inside: one to the right, the other to the left, etc. Let's fluff up the bow - and mentally admire the beauty that, playfully, we just created.

Bows are not only hairstyles for girls. Charming bows decorate clothes and accessories, they are used in needlework, for wrapping gifts and for various other purposes.

It would seem that tying a bow from a ribbon is as easy as shelling pears. But when it comes to practice, it turns out that it would be nice to know the technology of this process. We offer several ways to tie beautiful ribbon bows.

Most beautiful bows are obtained from satin ribbon, but for beginners, it may be too slippery. Try to tie the ribbon of your choice into a knot and tighten it - if the knot does not untie, then such a ribbon is suitable for the first experiments.

It also plays a role for what purpose you need a bow. If you are going to decorate a dress or blouse, it is advisable to make a bow from the same material as the product itself, or at least similar in texture.

The same can be said about the color of the ribbon - it should be in harmony with gift box, clothes or a handbag that he will decorate.

Classic bow

This type of ribbon tying is usually chosen if fairly small decorative elements are needed. You can decorate a postcard with classic bows made of thin ribbon self made, hairpin or soft toy.

You can take a wide ribbon and make the bow bigger, in this case, make sure that the material is dense enough, otherwise the bow will not hold its shape.

To calculate the desired length of the ribbon, you will have to practice, in any case, cut a little more so that it is more convenient to tie the ribbon. Later, you can trim the long edges.

Take a fragment of the ribbon and fold it in the shape of the letter "M" - at the top you will get two rings of the future bow. Cross the rings by turning one of the rings half a turn. A third ring formed at the bottom in the middle.

Thread one of the first rings through the third and tighten the bow. Try not to wrinkle the ribbon and work carefully so that the bow is even and symmetrical. If necessary, trim the ends of the bow to the desired length.

Bow strict

To make such a bow, you will need textile glue. Take a piece of tape, spread it along the table and wrap the edges towards the center, fastening the structure with glue. You will get something similar to the letter "B".

Now take a small piece of tape - the same color or in a contrasting shade and wrap the junction, securing it with glue on the back. It remains to glue the bow to the product.

On the basis of a strict bow, you can make a two-color bow, which looks much more spectacular. Take two ribbons of different widths and lay them one on top of the other so that the narrow ribbon is at the bottom. Next, we proceed according to the above scheme.

Openwork bow

To create such a bow, you need to make several V-shaped blanks. different sizes. We fasten the blanks, placing the narrower ones over the wider ones. We place a ring of tape in the center, and thread a masking piece of tape into the ring, fixing it from the wrong side of the bow.

The design is high, but rather flat, especially if the tape is narrow. If your openwork bow is not holding its shape, increase the number of V-parts or choose a tighter ribbon.

Tiered bow

For such a bow, you will need at least three pieces of ribbon, each of which will be a couple of centimeters longer than the previous one and a couple of millimeters wider. You can use one color ribbon or different shades.

Cut out triangles at the ends of each ribbon with the apex towards the center. Lay the ribbons one on top of the other so that the longest and widest one is on the bottom.

We take the tape and tie the resulting stack strictly in the middle so that the knot is under the bottom tape, that is, from the wrong side. The ends of the connecting tape can be left long and with their help tie a bow to a gift or to the neck of a beloved pet.

Lush flower bow

Such a bow resembles a flower bud, it can be used to decorate gift boxes, hair accessories, such a bow looks spectacular on a bracelet made of the same ribbon or wide elastic band.

Take an impressive length of ribbon and start forming loops, holding the center of the future bow with your thumb and forefinger. Alternate the loops, directing them one way or the other.

When you decide that the bow is thick enough, fasten what you are holding with your fingers with wire. If you are going to make a bracelet, sew the middle of the bow with thread, and then remove the wire. Attach the bow to the product and straighten the loops.

Experiment with the color, texture and width of the ribbons, creating incredible designs according to the proposed simple schemes, and for clarity, we recommend watching the video. Add color and fun to any holiday or casual outfit.

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.

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:

1. Fold the ribbon over the two halves of the ribbon over the index fingers of both hands.
2. Cross the halves and slip one into the other.
3. 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 very beautiful accessory). 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 different lengths you need to sew with the sign of infinity 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.

More graceful White flower created below. AT step by step photos you can see that the flower petals 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 - appearance bow is damaged. 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 only limited 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

By using rep tapes You can even make 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.

at the base decorative element put in a small box. 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.

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.

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