A variety of accessories traditionally decorate girls' hair. But even as we grow up, it’s hard for us to give them up. They refresh our handbags, hats and dresses, and make the most everyday hairstyle festive. A beautiful bouquet looks even more elegant if you tie a small bow made of tulle or organza on it. But that's not all. Beautiful packaging is very important for a gift. A paper bow, originally tied on the box, will emphasize the solemnity of the moment. In the store you can find any bows for girls, interesting hairpins.

By making a fabric bow with your own hands, you will emphasize your originality.

Figuring out how to make a ribbon bow with your own hands is not difficult at all.

Any girl will be delighted if her mother makes her own hair decoration, decorates it with beads or beads, sparkles or tulle. Before you make a bow from fabric, you need to understand its purpose:

• small, made on a fork - for a small souvenir;
• bows made of satin ribbons - for girls' hairpins;
• lush, brightly decorated - for a children's party;
• paper - for gift wrapping;
• unobtrusive, elegant - for any dress;
• for interior decoration.

Before you make beautiful bows from satin ribbon, you need to choose it correctly. Its color should be in harmony with the dress or hat. There is no need to explain how to make a bow from a satin ribbon in the traditional way.

Let's try to make a beautiful multi-layered product from ribbons of different colors and widths tied together. Purchase material in 3-4 colors of different widths. The widest ribbon should be the longest, the narrowest should be the shortest. Cut their ends at an angle so that they do not fray. Lay out the strips of fabric so that the bottom is the widest strip and the top is the narrowest. Tie them with a narrow strip, leaving long ends to strengthen the decoration on a gift or hairpin. Add some beads.

You can make very elegant bows from ribbons with your own hands; step-by-step instructions will help you with this. A small ribbon can be used to create an elegant and graceful accessory.

Follow these steps:

1. Cut a circle with a diameter of 2 centimeters from thick paper.
2. Cut the tape into pieces 6-7 centimeters long.
3. Using a glue gun, glue the end of one piece, and glue the other end of the same piece 5 mm apart.
4. Place the end of the second segment between the glued ends of the first segment, and place the second one 5 mm apart.
5. Glue several rows of such loops in this way; the last two rows can be smaller.
6. The middle of the flower can be enlivened with rhinestones or beads.

Let's look at another method of tying a ribbon bow. To get this elegant openwork bow you will need satin ribbon, glue, scissors and a stapler.

The tape must be cut into 4 parts of different lengths, and the ends of each piece must be connected with glue. Lay the loops to size and fasten them in the center with another strip. Tie a knot beautifully, leaving fairly long ends. This elegant decoration will look great on a gift.

Using a fork

Sometimes a very tiny bow is needed to decorate a postcard, make tiny earrings, or make dolls. Let's look at how to tie a bow on a fork.

You will need a thin ribbon 0.5 centimeters wide and 10 cm long, a dinner fork and scissors. How to make a bow on a fork is clear from the following diagram. The mini bow is very easy to make.

A more complex ribbon bow on a fork will take a little more time, but the technique for creating them is very simple, no master class is needed.

Kanzashi technique

The term kanzashi means folding. Using this technique, you can make bows from ribbons folded in a certain way. It allows you to create amazing things, and the step-by-step instructions given here will help you make kanzashi bows with your own hands.

To make a bow for girls with your own hands, you will need:

• dark satin ribbon 5 centimeters wide;
• the same white 2.5 centimeters wide;
• the same dark one, 2.5 centimeters wide;
• threads of a suitable color;
• scissors, needle, glue;
• hair clip or elastic band.

Make your own hair bows as follows:

1. Three pieces of 22.5 centimeters each are cut from a wide dark ribbon, and three pieces of 15.5 centimeters long from a white ribbon.
2. Use a lighter to burn the edges, fold the dark sections in half, unfold and fold the ends with a small allowance. Reinforce with thread to the middle.
3. We proceed in the same way with the second segment, and put it on the first, securing them. The third, also processed segment, is placed on top of the first two. We tighten the thread, tighten the bow, wrap it with thread and stitch it.
4. We carry out all the same operations with a white ribbon, you will get exactly the same bow, but it will be smaller in size.
5. Glue the white bow onto the dark one, wrap the middle of the product with a dark narrow ribbon, and secure it well. If you planned to make an elastic band, then before tying the ribbon, put the elastic there.

From grosgrain ribbons

Before making a bow from a satin or silk ribbon, make it from grosgrain ribbons. Rep holds its shape well and does not wrinkle.

You will need grosgrain ribbons of different widths and patterns, a needle, thread, glue, an elastic band or a hairpin and all kinds of decorations. Before you make a beautiful bow out of ribbons with your own hands, decide on its size; the width of the grosgrain ribbons depends on this.

Cut a rectangular template from plywood, the smaller side of which is equal to the width of the bow. We make a slot in the center of the figure. We put tape on the template so that the ends are directed in different directions. How many curls do you want for the bow, how many turns are needed. The ends of the tape must be secured. With the stitch forward, sew the ribbon through the through hole in the template. Remove the template, tighten the thread.

Usually this decoration has several layers. You can decorate the core with beads, or wrap it with a thin shiny braid. Tie it tightly and the decoration is ready.

Paper decorations

You want to wrap a gift beautifully, and the question arises of how to make a paper bow with your own hands. Paper decorations can come in different colors and sizes depending on what they are intended for. The simplest bows can be made with your own hands in a few minutes. By the way, you can decorate a Christmas tree with them.

Before making a bow for a gift, draw what shape your product will have and cut it out. Apply glue to the bridge between the parts, bend the sheets in the middle until the edges match. Coat the center of the second part with glue, place the first part on top, aligning the centers. Wrap a strip of tape around the parts and glue them together.

Handmade accessories will never go out of style.

Having mastered these skills, you can always add zest to your outfit, beautifully decorate a gift, and make the interior of your home interesting.

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

Paper technology

Anyone will like elegant and unusual “jagged” jewelry, and if you master the technique, you can make such a miracle yourself.

To make it you need to prepare:

• paper of sufficient thickness (old posters are perfect);
• scissors;
• glue or stationery stapler;
• ruler.

How to make a paper bow:

• Cut strips of paper of equal thickness.
• Using a ruler, measure out pieces of different lengths.
• Roll each piece at an angle without deforming the paper.
• Fasten two pieces together to form a kind of “figure eight”.
• In total, you need three large and medium “eights”, as well as two small ones.
• The last figure is simply made in the form of a circle.
• Starting from the longest “eights”, arrange three pieces in the form of a circle, then fasten them in the middle.
• The medium length “eight” is also secured in the form of a circle.
• Place the middle “circle” on the large figure so that the teeth fall in a checkerboard pattern.
• Fasten the remaining two small “eights” crosswise and place them on top of the resulting figure.
• The “top” of our bow will be a paper circle placed on its side.

To illustrate the process of assembling a paper bow, there is a photograph that clearly illustrates the process.

An original and very delicate bow is obtained using another option. To do this, just cut out shaped parts from colored paper (it’s better to do this using a template) and fasten them together, as shown in the photo. For variety, you can use several colors, as well as paper with designs. Having shown the proper ingenuity, you can independently come up with new figures for an exclusive model.

Ribbon manufacturing technology

The most suitable material for creating such decor are ready-made ribbons, the range of which is constantly increasing.

There are many types, the most common of them: satin, guipure, silk and translucent organza.

In this case, you should also take into account the huge selection of colors, shiny varieties and the ability to choose stripes with a pattern. In general, there is room for your imagination to run wild, the choice of suitable products will depend solely on your aesthetic taste, but we will tell you how to make a bow from a ribbon with your own hands.

Manufacturing technology can be divided into stages of complexity. Having successfully mastered one option, you can complicate the task a little and move on to the next one.

Simple DIY satin ribbon bow

To do this, take a strip of sufficient length, and the principle of the knot itself is shown in the photo.

To make a neater knot, you can use the master class below on how to tie a bow from a satin ribbon. At first, this method will seem too complicated, but with due diligence and training, everything will work out purely mechanically.

Several options for ribbon bows

To create such a decor, it will be enough to select strips of different thicknesses and colors. A monochromatic bow will be significantly inferior in aesthetic terms, so it is better to choose a more interesting option.

To make such a bow, you should cut three strips of different lengths, combine them with each other and tighten them with a smaller piece. The edges can be made jagged, or simply tucked in - this will give the product volume.

The second option will be no less cute and also easy to implement. To do this, circles are formed from suitable strips of different widths, but of the same diameter. Having attached the tapes to each other, the middle is fixed with another piece. The resulting decor can be used not only to create hair decorations, but also all kinds of ideas, a list of which you will find below.
