How often you have to suffer when you start decorating a gift, but you don’t know how to tie a bow to make it beautiful. And if you need a lot of these bows and they were all the same. In this master class, I will show you how to tie a bow using one template, and even different sizes.

First, you need to print this template on paper and cut it out. The template says the width of each side in cm.

Then we need a plastic cover from a paper folder. We put our template cut out of paper on it, the width of each side in cm is written on it.

After the template has been circled, cut it out. Here's what we should be able to do.

You will need this template whenever you need to tie bows.

So how do you tie a bow? Everything is very simple, with this template we can tie 7 bows of different widths. To make it clear to you how to tie a bow, I will take a narrow ribbon and tie it on the widest side.

We put the ribbon so that we have its tail with right side, and the length of the tail is about 5 cm. Then we start the long tail of the ribbon on the left side, under the bottom of our template. It should turn out that the long tail of the ribbon also turns out to be on our right, only under the template.

Now, we take over again long end ribbons and push it into the slot in the middle of the template.

Then we make the ribbon pass through this slot from below, as if wrapping the ribbon, which lies across the template, and we wind this long end of the ribbon up.

Now we put that long end of the tape that we brought up into a loop and here it’s very important point, the end of the tape should come out behind the tape, on the left side.

This is how it should turn out, now we begin to tighten the bow. We hold the short end of the tape with your finger, and direct the long one to the top and tighten. After tightening well, remove the bow from the template. If you did everything right, then when you pull the end of the ribbon and dissolve the bow, a knot should remain on the ribbon.

Here we have such a bow, however, for such a narrow ribbon, we took the too wide side of the template.

Raspberry bow tied on the smallest side.

In order for us to get a bow with several wings, we must initially wrap the ribbon around the template several times, and then everything, as shown in the photo above.

And it turns out such a wonderful bow.

Examples of what other bows are obtained, tied to different sides our template.

I hope you find this guide helpful when you design your gifts.

Hello colleagues.

One day, I accidentally found on the Internet several original works of indescribable beauty by masters in tailoring women's things - bustiers, lace bras and all kinds of garters.

And on the linen there is always a small silk bow. And now we will learn how to tie it.

For a bow, you will need to prepare an ordinary silk ribbon suitable color width from 3 to 10 mm.

You will also need cardboard template- but you will learn more about this below.

You can also watch a short video with recipes for cutting and making several linen products.

There are simple and very cute models that can be sewn from a rectangular piece of fabric with just a couple of stitches, adding lace and silk ribbons with bows. And it turns out a surprisingly charming little thing that even a child can make.

I think these simple ways useful for inspiration and for work. And now watch the video with an overview of models and methods of cutting and at the end of the video small workshops about tying a tiny bow for a bra and how to design a tuck on a bra cup:

If the video does not start, here is a photo of the bow master class:

1. For easy production of such a bow, you need to make a template of the desired size. You can make several templates to suit your needs.

The template can be cut out of cardboard or plastic. You can also tie a bow on a simple fork - cutlery.

Well, it doesn't matter what to tie on. The main thing is that you understand the principle.

2. Wrap the tape around the horns of the template, as if you were tying a tie. Ribbons can be taken with a width of 3 mm to 1.5 cm. If the ribbon is narrow - 3 mm, then the template should also be used the smallest - 3 cm wide or use a fork. The wider the tape, the larger the template.

The knot should turn out flat - like on a pioneer tie.

3. The knot needs to be tightened tighter. And do not remove the bow immediately from the template, but first lightly iron it.

4. The finished bow is sewn to finished product on a bead or blind stitch. The main thing is to fasten the knot so that it does not untie.

5. Cut the ends beautifully into a corner and burn to prevent the threads of the ribbon from unraveling.

You can make beautiful bows from different materials, but paper and various ribbons are considered the most popular. Let's take a look at the most popular manufacturing methods from these materials below.
