Select two colors and two different widths for this bow. While flattening the wider ribbon, wrap and tie a small bow around the wider ribbon. Pull tight and tape your bow to your package.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Elegant Bow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a slight variation of the bow-tie example above; however, only one ribbon size is used. Trimming the tails of the bow parallel to the edge of the box seems to look best with this style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Classic Parallel Bow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just like tying shoe laces, this bow style can be difficult to lay straight or parallel to the ribbon.<\/p>\n<p>To make a parallel bow, place the box on top of the ribbon and fold the left end over the right. Tuck the ribbons under each side and pull the loops tight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Tiffany-Style Bow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a classic bow that wraps around all four sides of a box and unties with one pull. Vary the look with wide or thin ribbon, and any color or texture to fit the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>With these basic tips you\u2019ll have the tools to put the finishing touches on any of your projects.\u00a0Bows add creative and unique finishing touches to almost any homemade project.<\/p>\n<p>Colorful bows adorned perfectly to any gift will make your plastic gift bags pop or gift card packaging come to life.
