How to make a Christmas bow? see 5 ideas

A Christmas bow, whether to decorate the tree, use it on the door or even decorate the supper table, is a classic that never goes out of style. There are easier and still beautiful ideas, and others that are a little more laborious, but worth it!

Easy Christmas Bow

A very simple idea to make a nice bow is to use cardboard to support it:

• Cut cardstock to the width you want your bow to be (6 inches is a good size). The height should match or be slightly higher than what you want your accessory to be.
• Make a cut about half an inch in the center of the cardboard.
• Run the ribbon behind the card stock, then bring both ends to the front without going through the opening.
• Thread the string through the center gap and tie the center part of the loop securely.
• Remove from the cardboard and finish by cutting the ends

Double Christmas Bow

If you want to make a double loop, just follow the previous steps and wrap the ribbon around the back of the cardboard one more time. Lacing can be a little more difficult given the greater volume to secure. So a good idea is to use a string and then hide it with an accessory.

fabric bow

Separate two pieces of 25 cm grosgrain ribbon. Make a mark right in the middle of them to mark the center with a fold and running your hand or a lighter flame very quickly. Then, with the first ribbon, bring the ends to the center and make 4 to 6 stitches using needle and thread. Do not cut the line. Then repeat the process with the other ribbon and use the same needle and thread to sew it. Thus, the two loops will be joined together. They should be on top of each other. Pull the thread so the center is gathered and secure. Finish with the same ribbon or a ribbon in another shade in the center.

multifold christmas bow

Take a long ribbon and, starting at one end, make a 10 cm fold. Then “return” the fold, forming a new fold on top of the initial one. Repeat until you have 4 folds. Cut the ribbon and tie in the center of the folds. Open them until they are very wide, forming a circumference.

Cute bow without too much work

If you want a beautiful bow, but without needing too much effort, the way is to choose ribbons and creative adornments. Red is always a good choice, as are green and white, but you can bet on other colors, such as a rose or gold tone.

A wired ribbon will help make your bow tight and bulky without too much effort.
Opt for different items to complement it, such as small colored frills or pendants.
