Lush tulle bows and miniature satin bows are found everywhere in our lives: they are decorated with hairstyles, gift boxes, festive tables, children's things, belts, hair accessories. The scope of these decorative elements is expanding every year, and at the same time, the interest of adults and children in the features of their manufacture is growing. Learning how to make an elegant ribbon bow with your own hands is not at all difficult, even if you have no experience. There are a lot of ways to tie a cute accessory, the choice of the right one depends on the size of the product and its future purpose, the characteristics of the material from which they plan to make a bow, and the availability of additional tools at hand.

To make bows, you will need a sewing needle, sharp scissors, a centimeter tape to measure strips of fabric of the desired length. You can sew by hand or on a typewriter. Tapes made of various materials are suitable for work. Most requested:

Atlas - looks spectacular, easy to sew.
Kapron is strong and tough.
Tulle and organza are airy translucent fabrics. A significant drawback is that the ends often crumble, so they need to be melted with a lighter.
Rep is a malleable material with a long service life.

No less popular is the lace ribbon bow. This material holds its shape well, the finished accessory looks elegant and expensive. At the same time, the lace wears out quickly, and it is difficult to care for it. Cotton products are durable, do not crumble at the edges. Of course, they get dirty quickly, but washing this material is not difficult. The simplest technique for sewing an accessory from multi-colored ribbons is the Japanese kanzashi method, which allows you to get beautiful multi-layered flowers of the most bizarre shape.

The best option for beginner craftswomen is a rep bow from a wide ribbon, because this fabric is the easiest to work with.

On a rim made of wide material

For work you need a needle with threads and scissors. The finished product is attached to a plastic or metal hoop with a glue gun.

Instead of a headband, you can sew a homemade product onto a hairpin or hair band. It is most convenient to use a crocodile clip. It is better if it is a neutral color without decor.

Minnie Mouse style

The child will be delighted with such a gift. To work, you need sharply sharpened scissors, a needle and thread. Sewing an accessory on a typewriter will be faster than manually.

Such a bow will become an original interior decoration. It will look good on the back of an upholstered wooden chair. For work, you will need a needle and thread, as well as a ruler and scissors for cutting strips. You can put a cover on the furniture beforehand.

Before you tie a lush bow of nylon ribbons, you need to straighten it.

You can decorate in this way the chairs in the kitchen, in the living room, in the nursery. Color should be in harmony with other elements of furniture. This type of decoration goes well with the Provence (rustic) style.

Manufacturing using kanzashi technique

Kanzashi is a Japanese technique for making puffy ribbon bows. In the East, this method has been known since the Middle Ages and has not changed much. Asian needlewomen decorated clothes and cult objects with elegant flowers from ribbons.

Now the art of kanzashi is very popular in Russia and Western Europe. Satin bows made using this technique can be used to decorate hairpins, gift wrapping, children's and women's outfits. A ribbon flower will look good on the lid of a craft box or other small items.

Cut into squares multi-colored strips of fabric.
Form multi-layered petals of a triangular shape from them.
Glue each blank, give it a rounded look.
Connect all the elements with each other in turn to make a flower.

The resulting design is superimposed on a wide tape that acts as a base. After that, both strips are sewn. In the middle they make a screed.

Making a decoration for a gift box

There are several ways to make bows for attaching to boxes. The coloring should be chosen to match the color of the gift wrapping or a contrasting one. You can make several small decorative elements by placing them in different places, or one large one.

Name	The size and shape of the bow	Suitable tape type	Manufacturing
Lush	Medium, X-shaped	From rep or satin	Prepare three segments of the same length. Fold one in four. With the second we do the same, crossing the ends. Make a tie in the middle
Terry	Large, round flower	Tulle, organza, lace	Fold a strip of fabric, cut two triangular holes in the center. Attach a small piece of tape to the middle. Pull out all the ends so that the bow from the ribbon is fluffy
Double	Small, X-shaped with loose ends	Satin, nylon, cotton	Fold the tape several times. Attach another strip with crossed edges to it. Bring both fragments together with a third

The color of the bow should match the style of the gift wrapping. For men, strict options are suitable: a black and white cage, a checkerboard pattern, longitudinal or transverse stripes. For women - romantic, feminine: pink (decorated with hearts or flowers), noble burgundy or scarlet. Provence style goes well with light, pastel colors. With a high-tech direction - silver and all shades of gray, as well as any color with a glitter effect.

If the bow is the same color as the box, it can be visually lost against its background, so it is better to choose a contrasting color. Recommended combinations: red and blue, black and white, green and orange.

Product decoration options

Having figured out how to make an accessory with your own hands and how to tie a magnificent bow from a nylon ribbon, you can proceed to the decor. For jewelry, it is permissible to use any improvised materials. It is best to attach them to the finished product with a special glue gun. You can also use ordinary textile glue in a tube, but then you must definitely remove the excess with a soft cloth, otherwise the accessory will look untidy.
A beautiful ribbon bow will turn out if used as a decor:
lace and guipure of any shades;

beads and glass beads;

beads of different sizes, artificial pearls will look especially impressive;

semiprecious stones;

rhinestones and sequins with glitter effect.

A cotton or rep bow can be decorated with a small brooch. But for less dense fabrics, nylon, organza or tulle, it is better to choose other options.

The easiest way to decorate a bow is using ready-made stripes. They can be depicted with stylized flowers, geometric shapes, symbols and logos, cartoon characters. These elements are glued or sewn (manually, on a typewriter).

During work, it should be remembered that the wrong side of the ribbon bow made by oneself must be hidden. Sections of cotton and rep strips are carefully processed with a blind seam. In tulle, organza, capron and satin, the ends are singeed over an open fire so that the threads do not crumble.

You can determine the desired size of the tape for wrapping the box and creating a bow using the universal formula: measure the height and length of one side of the package, add these figures, and multiply the resulting amount by six.

When tying a bow, the free ends of the ribbon should not hang from the lid of the box. If the edges are too long, they are shortened. To do this, they are carefully cut with sharply sharpened scissors (both at the same time to maintain symmetry), and then singeed with fire (lighter).
Before you make a bow out of satin ribbons with your own hands, experts recommend a little practice in making paper crafts. This will help you better understand the general principles of folding fabric accessories. You can use photos and step-by-step instructions with graphic illustrations.
If you plan to use the finished product to decorate the costume, its color should be in harmony with the clothes, or at least not stand out from the general ensemble. These simple rules and recommendations will help not only to understand how to make a bow, but also to find a worthy use for the accessory.
The free edges of the tape must not hang from the lid of the box.
At the beginning of work, it is worth practicing on paper tapes.

To do something for a girl, you can turn to the simplest options. Tie a satin ribbon beautifully on an elastic band - the hairpin is ready. Just? No, it is not easy to tie a beautiful bow. Moreover, it must be fixed. Let's use an example to show several master classes on tying a bow, which even a schoolgirl can handle.

Kanzashi technique

A more complex option can be handled by middle and high school students with the help of their parents. The activity is interesting, but it requires patience and perseverance. Made bows can be worn everyday or for special occasions. We offer step-by-step instructions for sewing bows from satin ribbons. We decorate it with a flower using the kanzashi technique.

Materials and tools for making one bow:

plain satin ribbon (we take white) 2.5 cm wide and 70 cm long;
a ribbon with an ornament or a different color (we have black with peas) 1 cm wide and 40 cm long;
satin ribbon 1 cm wide and 9 cm long (we have white) for making a flower;
rubber;
half bead;
thread;
needle;
candle or lighter;
ruler;
scissors;
tweezers;
thermal gun.

Let's get to the step by step instructions. Let's get the ribbons ready. You need to cut them into the following sizes:

satin white ribbon 2.5 cm wide - 2 pieces of 20 cm long and 6 pieces of 5 cm long,
satin ribbon 1 cm wide - 2 pieces 20 cm long.

Preparations are ready. Let's start building the details. We put a black tape on a 20-centimeter white piece of tape. It should be located in the middle, as shown in the photo. We squeeze the edges with tweezers and process with a candle or lighter.

We make the second part in a similar way.

The edges of the tape are slightly overlapping one another. We sew with a basting seam.

We do not cut the thread, we hem the 2nd part, the thread remains, it will still be needed.

Bend the ribbons in half. Mark the middle, as shown in the photo.

Connect the fold line to the seam line. We sew with a basting seam, but in the opposite direction.

Now the thread needs to be pulled and wrapped around the seam line several times. Fasten off with a few stitches. We cut the thread. The bow is ready.

Let's start making a bow. We will need prepared wide pieces of white satin ribbon in the amount of 6 pieces. We fold them at a right angle, the ends should be the same length.

We turn the workpiece by connecting the points AA and BB. We solder the petal blank in the corners. You can not do this, but it is easier to work with a soldered petal.

Fold the petal in half. The satin side should be inside.

Turn the long side of the petal inside out. The edges are sealed with fire. The petal is ready.

In the same way we make 5 more petals.

Using a heat gun, glue the flower petals together. The flower preparation is ready.

Let's start assembling. On the wrong side of the bow, glue the elastic band with a heat gun.

We attach the remaining white piece of thin white ribbon with hot glue to the middle of the bow. We make a double turn. So the elastic band will not separate from the bow during operation.

Glue a flower to the middle of the bow on the front side. We revive it with a half-bead or bead. The bow is ready!

Bow on a fork

An interesting and popular method of tying a bow is the method of forming a bow on a fork. The bows are small, but very neat and cute. They can be used to make elastic hairpins, crabs, clips and crackers. In addition, this bow can be a good decoration for a postcard or a gift, decorate, for example, a kitchen towel, or add zest to a girl's or woman's everyday outfit. It is done very simply. Below is a detailed step-by-step mini-master class.

Now you need to carefully remove the bow from the fork, but before that fix it with an additional knot for strength. We remove, straighten the bow. If the ends are long, cut them off and process them. The shape can be given to the tips differently - as you like. The bow is ready.

To make larger bows in this way, you can use a cardboard stencil. The stencil template is provided below.

Multi-layer ribbon bow

A ready-made multi-layered bow, made by oneself, is no different from its store counterpart. But, creating it at home, you can not limit yourself in the choice color, ornament and the material itself.

To create this variation of the bow, you will need:

trimming the tape of your choice, namely 5 pieces, as shown in the photo;
a hairpin or elastic band that will attach the product to the hair;
thread with a needle;
glue.

At the first stage it is necessary do blanks. It is necessary to bend each of the three ribbons of the same length that were prepared earlier, so that their edges converge in the center, and sew, as shown in the photo.

Two of the three finished petals are connected to each other by squeezing their centers with a thread. Thus, a simple four-petal bow is obtained.

The longest ribbon should be wrapped in such a way that a bow with two loops and two tails is formed. It should be tightly fastened with threads in the middle.

As a result, you should get three blanks: from two loops, from four petals and a bow with ponytails.

All of them are fastened together in the listed sequence with the help of threads and glue for reliability.

To hide the middle sewn with thread, the last and shortest shred is used. They simply wrap the middle of the bow around, and behind the ends of the ribbon sit on the glue.

It remains only to attach a hairpin with glue on the back of the product, let it dry and wear it with pleasure.

Spectacular two-tone bow

To create these hair bows you will need:

satin ribbon of medium thickness of the same color;

very thin pieces of ribbon of any of two colors;
threads.

When creating bows, it is not necessary to adhere to the colors and materials that are described here. After all, you create a masterpiece with your own hands, so you also choose the style.

From the widest ribbon it should turn out three-layer bow base. To do this, you need to decide on its diameter and begin to evenly wind the tape to get three full turns. Then fasten the middle with a thread. More clearly presented below.

Then you need to move on to creating upper bow. It will consist, as it were, of two layers located on top of each other. We fasten the ends of the ribbons in the middle and tie the two tiers together so that they do not fall apart.

Bows can be made from different satin, rep, organza, lace, brocade, etc. ribbons. They can decorate hair by attaching it to various bases, such as elastic bands, hairpins, headbands, brooches and similar attachments. I have been fascinated by this type of creativity for more than 5 years, I am very attracted by the beauty, grace and variety of bows and flowers that you can create from ribbons with your own hands.

The second piece of tape is twisted and stitched in the same way as the first.

We pull them together and stitch through them several times to securely fix and tie the thread into a knot.

For the lower part of the bow, we take 2 pieces of lace 4 cm wide and 2 pieces of satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide and all pieces are 21.5 cm long.

We put them together lace on top, satin on the bottom, scorch the edges with a lighter and press the ribbons together so that they stick together at the edges.

Our next bow will consist of a narrow rep ribbon 0.5 cm wide in white and blue.
We need to cut segments 8 cm long - 1 pc. each color (I cut off extra 2 pieces in the photo), 7 cm and 6 cm, 2 pieces of each color.
