Plus, it's a bang-up science to create 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 mean value that's merely every bit cute. :)
Over the past times few years of marriage festivities together with babe showers galore, I've figured out a few tricks when it comes to gift wrapping. And i of my favorite tricks is the bow. I create got a GIANT spool of white ribbon (originally works life during this thrift shop opportunity for 99 cents. I tyke you lot not.) together with I've been using it ever since. It works for merely virtually every gift, whether it's a box or a bag, together with it's totally my hush-hush weapon.
Making a bow is actually pretty simple, together with it's such a bang-up agency to brand whatever basic gift wrap extra special.

First, let's accept a await 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 merely used a basic dark pocketbook together with pinkish pump tissue newspaper (both from Target, virtually $2 total). Then, I stenciled her initial on the pocketbook amongst some golden 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 virtually iii feet long. Hold the ribbon virtually vi inches inwards from i end, together with brand a loop. Hold the ribbon where the loop intersects.
Step 1: Cut 1 large slice of ribbon virtually iii feet long. Hold the ribbon virtually vi inches inwards from i end, together with brand a loop. Hold the ribbon where the loop intersects.
Step 2: Take the long terminate of the ribbon, together with brand some other loop upwards together with over the commencement loop, continuing to agree 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 agree the center.
Step 5: Cut a split slice of ribbon virtually fifteen inches long. Using i manus to agree the bow together inwards the center, identify the fifteen inch slice underneath the bow together with necktie it merely about the middle, securing the bow inwards place.
And in that location you lot create got it!
After the bow is tied, I fluff out all of the loops amongst my manus together with brand them all pretty again, every bit they unremarkably larn a lilliputian smooshed during the process.
You tin too brand your bow every bit large every bit you lot desire (just past times 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 therefore necktie that slice merely about the middle of my completed bow.
Here are the basic supplies I used for this project.
Ignore the gum gun together with flowers...those didn't brand the cut.
My apologies to the mistaken works life I ripped them off of.
I personalized the pocketbook past times adding a stenciled 'C', merely using a stencil from the arts and crafts shop together with some golden spray paint.
I taped downward the stencil, together with covered the balance 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 practice gift wrapping!
Thanks for stopping past times today!
