Gift Wrap Bows

Giving gifts is always a pleasure. And how nice to receive them! But the same problem always arises with this matter: how beautifully to pack a gift so that it is not embarrassing to present to the hero of the occasion? Of course, you can entrust this to specially trained people, but for such a service you sometimes have to lay out an amount that almost reaches the value of the gift itself. So go broke short! Therefore, it is better to learn how to make gift wrapping yourself. Today you will learn how to make bows, only one look of which will create a festive mood. This does not take much time, since only 2 options are offered to your attention.
Option 1
Take a decorative plastic tape 5 cm wide. You can use both plain and with a pattern. From a thinner ribbon, you will also get a very nice bow.
You will also need a book, a notebook or a piece of thick cardboard. They will serve as the basis. The width of the future bow depends on the size of the base.
Take the edge of the tape and fasten it from one edge of the book.
Make a revolution around the base and return to the starting position. In total, you need to make 7-9 turns of tape.
After cut the tape and remove the workpiece from the base.
In the center of the resulting turns, make incisions as shown in the photo.
Tie this place with a short piece of tape. So all the turns will be securely locked.
Now carefully separate one turn of the tape, bring it to the side and twist around the axis once.
Do the same with the rest.
As a result of such manipulations, a gorgeous bow is obtained.
It remains only to dissolve the ends of the tape into thin strips, with which you bandaged the center of the workpiece.
To make the resulting stripes become wavy, twist them with scissor blades.
Here is the finished bow!
Option 2
Again, use a red plastic tape 5 cm wide.
Cut it into pieces of different lengths. Total need:

• 8 pieces of 15 cm;
• 4 pieces of 10 cm;
• 1 should be 5 cm.

Using a heat gun, glue each workpiece as shown in the photo. And fix the shortest strip in the shape of a cylinder.
Glue 4 blanks so that you get flowers.
Connect 2 large flowers first. Their petals should not intersect.
Stick a small flower on them.
And in the center, place the cylindrical workpiece. Bow in the form of a magnificent flower is ready!
Such original crafts will decorate any packaging and become an original addition to the gift.
