Plus, it's a nifty science to stimulate got every bit a wife, every bit Jesse's method of gift wrap for identify unit of measurement together with friends unremarkably involves a grocery bag. Although, I kinda intend that's but every bit cute. :)
Over the yesteryear few years of marriage festivities together with babe showers galore, I've figured out a few tricks when it comes to gift wrapping. And ane of my favorite tricks is the bow. I stimulate got a GIANT spool of white ribbon (originally establish during this thrift shop guide chances for 99 cents. I tiddler you lot not.) together with I've been using it ever since. It plant for but almost every gift, whether it's a box or a bag, together with it's totally my undercover weapon.
Making a bow is actually pretty simple, together with it's such a nifty agency to brand whatsoever basic gift wrap extra special.

First, let's accept a hold back at the finished product. I'm going to a friend's bachelorette political party shortly together with nosotros are showering her amongst some fun girlie gifts.
I but used a basic dark pocketbook together with pinkish view tissue newspaper (both from Target, almost $2 total). Then, I stenciled her initial on the pocketbook amongst some aureate spray paint, together with added a large bow amongst my white ribbon.
Here's how I made the bow.
Step 1: Cut 1 large slice of ribbon almost iii feet long. Hold the ribbon almost half dozen inches inwards from ane end, together with brand a loop. Hold the ribbon where the loop intersects.
Step 1: Cut 1 large slice of ribbon almost iii feet long. Hold the ribbon almost half dozen inches inwards from ane end, together with brand a loop. Hold the ribbon where the loop intersects.
Step 2: Take the long halt of the ribbon, together with brand some other loop upwards together with over the commencement loop, continuing to concur the ribbon inwards the center.
Step 3. Make some other loop, this fourth dimension bringing the ribbon upwards together with over the intersection (in the front). Hold inwards center.
Step 4: Make your final loop, continuing to concur the center.
Step 5: Cut a divide slice of ribbon almost fifteen inches long. Using ane mitt to concur the bow together inwards the center, identify the fifteen inch slice underneath the bow together with necktie it roughly the middle, securing the bow inwards place.
And at that spot you lot stimulate got it!
After the bow is tied, I fluff out all of the loops amongst my mitt together with brand them all pretty again, every bit they unremarkably teach a footling smooshed during the process.
You tin every bit good brand your bow every bit large every bit you lot desire (just yesteryear cutting a longer slice of ribbon together with making to a greater extent than loops, using the same process). To attach my ribbon to a bag, I necktie an extra slice of ribbon on the bag, together with and hence necktie that slice roughly the middle of my completed bow.
Here are the basic supplies I used for this project.
Ignore the mucilage gun together with flowers...those didn't brand the cut.
My apologies to the simulated flora I ripped them off of.
I personalized the pocketbook yesteryear adding a stenciled 'C', but using a stencil from the arts and crafts shop together with some aureate spray paint.
I taped downwardly the stencil, together with covered the residual of the pocketbook amongst paper. I accidentally smudged my spray pigment a chip when I removed my tape. Oh well. Such is life. :)
And that my friends, is how I exercise gift wrapping!
Thanks for stopping yesteryear today!
