You’ve finished your holiday shopping; now it’s time to wrap up all the gifts. But don’t worry! Here are a few tips to turn a basic gift box and ribbon into a present fit to be placed under any tree:
Think you’ve mastered the bow tie? Here are a few more tips to refine your technique:
1. Pick The Right Ribbon
The width of the ribbon will depend on the size of the box. On smaller boxes I would use widths ranging from .25”-.5”. For medium boxes .5”-1”, and for larger boxes 1”-1.5”.
2. Vary The Texture
Textures range from satin, grosgrain, organdy, and some even have flowers on them. It depends on the look that you are going for.
3. Don’t Be Afraid to Mess Up
There’s so much you can do with ribbon. Don’t be afraid to experiment.
If you aren’t satisfied with your bow, you can start over using the same ribbon. Just make sure to line up the ribbon but the placement when doing the ribbon over must be precise. Meaning, you have to make sure you’re tying the ribbon in the same exact spots or you will see creases in the ribbon. If you think you cut the wrong length, start with a fresh piece of ribbon. It’s not like you’ll have to throw out a crumpled sheet of wrapping paper!
