A bow of ribbon with their own hands: a master class with photos
Today I will show you how quickly and easily I did itfor a child with your own hands; you can easily repeat it using this master class (and at the link you will find another version of the bow and a simple device made of cardboard and bamboo sticks for deftly twisting even bows). For these bows, I used rep ribbons of two colors.
To make one bow, you will need:
two colors of grosgrain ribbon 2.5 cm wide, 25 eachcm of each; a small piece of narrow white grosgrain ribbon; a hair elastic; sewing thread to match one of the colors of the ribbon; a sewing needle; scissors; a lighter or matches; hot silicone glue.
How to make bows of ribbons with their own hands: a master class
We melt the ends of the ribbons with matches or a lighter.We combine the opposite ends of the tape with a small overlap and press this place to the center of the tape section. Now we turn the place where the cuts are connected at an angle of 30-40 degrees relative to the position of the lower part of the tape.We fix all three layers with a needle, and then wrap a thread around this place to form a bow.
Now we press the tape along the edges as shown in the photo.
We do the same with a blue ribbon, but we make the overlap of the edges larger - it will look nice if the top layer of the ribbon bow, made with your own hands, turns out to be slightly smaller than the bottom one.
We place the smaller bow on the larger one and secure them with several turns of thread.
Sew on the elastic.
We heat up the glue gun.We melt the edge of a narrow ribbon, wrap it around a bow with an elastic band, measure the required length, cut it and melt the cut. We apply a drop of hot glue to the elastic band from the inside. We tightly wrap the ribbon around the bow, another drop of glue - on the already glued end of the ribbon and put the second end of the ribbon on top.
DIY ribbon bows are ready to go - for a walk, to school or to a dance.
