But with this matter, the same problem always arises: how to wrap a gift beautifully so that it would not be embarrassing to present it to the hero of the occasion? Of course, you can entrust this to specially trained people, but for such a service sometimes you have to shell out an amount that almost reaches the cost of the gift itself. It won't take long to go broke! Therefore, it is better to learn how to decorate gift wrapping yourself. Today you will learn how to make bows, just one type of which will create a festive mood. This will 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 either plain or patterned. A thinner ribbon will also make a very pretty bow.

You will also need a book, notepad or 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 secure it to one edge of the book.

Make a twist around the base and return to the starting position. In total you need to make 7-9 turns of tape.

Then cut the tape and remove the workpiece from the base.

Make cuts in the center of the resulting turns, as shown in the photo.

Cover the area with a short piece of tape. This way all the turns will be securely fixed.

Now carefully separate one turn of the tape, take it to the side and twist it around the axis once.

Do the same with the rest.

The result of such manipulations is a chic bow.

All that remains is to unravel the ends of the tape with which you tied the center of the workpiece into thin strips.

To make the resulting stripes wavy, twist them with the blades of scissors.

This is what the finished bow looks like!

Option 2
Again use 5cm wide red plastic tape.

Cut it into pieces of different lengths. All you need:

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

Using a heat gun, glue each piece together as shown in the photo. And fix the shortest strip in the shape of a cylinder.

Glue 4 blanks together to make flowers.

First, connect 2 large flowers. Their petals should not intersect.

Glue a small flower on them.

And place a cylindrical blank in the very center. The bow in the shape of a lush flower is ready!
