The most beautiful DIY hair bow. DIY ribbon bow

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Photo ideas for decorating gifts with bows

Posted On 02.11.2017

You don’t always have ready-made decorations for gifts or beautiful packaging tapes at hand. What to do if you want to make the gift wrapping beautiful? Make a bow yourself from scrap materials, namely paper. How to make a paper bow which can be used to decorate a gift? You just need a little patience and effort.

Curls can be not only on the top of the head

Do original cascade of curls You can get regular paper, preferably very thin. We cut a sheet of paper into thin strips, up to 1-1.5 cm, and then with the blunt side of the scissors we give them the shape of curls, running along one side of the paper. Curls form instantly. For this purpose, you can use regular wrapping paper. Having made the required number of curls, we fasten them with a stapler and attach them to the gift, gluing them or securing them in a similar way. The curls can be located either around the perimeter of the box or falling from the central part.

How to make a butterfly out of paper?

To make a butterfly bow, you will need two types of paper. One is denser and brighter (it could be a photograph from a magazine), the second should be one and a half to two times smaller and depict the body of a butterfly. We make the most ordinary fan from a larger leaf. From the small one we make a fan in the same way, trying to keep the folds the same. We divide the fan into three parts and slightly cut it on the right and left sides, retreating from the edge by 2-5 cm (depending on the size of the sheet). We place the smaller one on the larger sheet: so that the folds coincide and in the central part we press and tie the two parts together. Gently straighten it, giving it a fluffy shape - and the butterfly is ready. To make the product more eye-catching, it makes sense to use old magazines with pictures, fashion catalogs and others with brightly colored paper.

Bow Dior

An unusual bow can be made by preparing four rings of decreasing diameter. The smallest one should be such that it takes up no more than 50% of the width of the last ring. The rings need to be slightly overlapped, the upper and lower central parts should be glued in the same way. The rings also need to be glued, placing one in the middle of the other, and using a narrow paper tape to connect them across perpendicularly, thus obtaining an original decoration. The tape is taken of one color, but to give some contrast it is worth taking a transverse piece of paper of a different shade.

As for the Dior bow, you can connect its two halves together, getting a more lush and voluminous inflorescence. It will look very beautiful and unusual.

Original paper chrysanthemum

To get an original and lush chrysanthemum, you need to take paper of a bright or light color (for example, pink or bright red) and cut out ten to fifteen polygons. They should be in the shape of hexagons or look like flags, but in such a way that they are all fastened together. We stack the cut out figures on top of each other and pin them on top with a pin or a needle with a tip, the top of which can be shaped like a pestle by putting on a white or yellowish cap. It turns out gorgeous paper flower.

Combinations with paper ribbons and curls

Can be done quickly and easily original decoration with curls. We cut out four strips of paper in the form of thin and long ribbons, the ends of which we give an unusual shape, for example, like a flag, in the form of the letter “V”. We place two ribbons side by side on the box or packaging with a gift (with a small interval), cover them on top in the same way with two of the same ribbons and glue them together at the joints. On top of the glued tapes we attach other pieces of paper, similar in width, placing them perpendicularly. In total you will need four segments. We run the blunt edge of the scissors along the last attached pieces of paper tape, giving them a curl shape. That's it: the decoration is ready.

In the same way, you can experiment with the color of ribbons, using, for example, white and scarlet pieces of paper, creating compositions from thin and thick curlicue rings. Or by putting such curls into rings of larger diameter.

How to make a simple and original bow?

A beautiful multi-colored paper bow is made by taking eight pieces of paper in three shades of the same length but different widths. You can take the following colors, for example: the widest stripe is blue, the narrower stripe is purple, and the top stripe is pale pink. Glue strips of paper on top of each other. We bend the edges of the strips in the form of an envelope, connect them together and form two inflorescences in the form of a trefoil. Let's connect them together. Attach thin bows to the central part of the decoration. They should be done like this: cut very thin strips the thickness of a straw, which should be glued into a ring and then additionally connected in the center, getting a tiny bow.

To the resulting decoration, you can glue a thicker ring on top of the thin bows, which will crown the central part. You can attach two ribbons from the bottom, from the wrong side.

Most importantly, when creating paper jewelry, don't be afraid to experiment. After all, you can create compositions by unusually combining curls, ribbons, diamonds and irregular polygons, bows and fans. The main task of such jewelry is to add a certain zest to the gift being given, to the interior, or even to a fancy dress costume. A little strength and patience - and everything will work out!

How to finish the edges

To ensure that the ends look neat and do not fray, they should be processed. First, cut them at a 45-degree angle with sharp scissors. The V-shape in the form of a dovetail looks great on openwork designs.

Then take a lighter or match and scorch the edges, keeping the flame an inch away from the fabric.

How to make a bow from a satin ribbon with your own hands

This method is ideal for any synthetic materials.

The easiest way is to cover the ends with PVA glue. This method does not look very aesthetically pleasing, so it is only suitable for designs in which the ends are hidden under folds.

Classical

The gift wrapping will be decorated with a classic DIY ribbon bow; a simple step-by-step master class will help you make it in just 5 minutes:

Place the ribbon face down on the table and cross the ends in the middle to create a loop on each side.
Place the resulting loops on top of each other crosswise.
Wrap the left loop around the right one, then pass it through the resulting center loop and tighten the bow.

Thin and airy fabrics will make the product lifeless and sluggish in appearance, so use thick satin, rep or crepe-satin to make it.

Two-color

An unusual two- or three-color bow will be a wonderful decoration for a hair clip or headband. You will need stripes of different colors, and each new one should be narrower than the previous one.

Lay out two strips of contrasting colors on the work surface so that the narrow one is on top.
Roll the workpiece into a ring and fasten it with glue.
Iron the workpiece through a sheet of thick paper.
Tie the middle and straighten the edges.

You can combine more colors with each other, the main thing is to select stripes of different widths to demonstrate all the color layers of the product.

Extravagant

A large, lush bow made of satin ribbons, made by yourself, will decorate a hoop, hairpin or headdress. For this master class you will need 115 centimeters of wide tape and a piece of thin wire.

Measure 20 centimeters from the edge and make the first loop, holding its base between your fingers.
Using the long end, make a similar loop next to the first one.
Then make another loop, but on the opposite side.
Continue to form the structure, alternating loops on different sides. As a result, you should end up with a butterfly-shaped piece.
A piece of wire should be wrapped around the center of the workpiece and the excess should be trimmed with scissors.
Take a short strip of fabric in a contrasting color and wrap it around the center of the piece to disguise the wire.
Straighten the loops and give the product a rounded shape so that it looks like a lush flower.

Organza, satin or silk are suitable materials for this master class. The airy structure can be further decorated with a decorative cord or a beautiful plastic brooch can be glued to the center.

Openwork

How to make an elegant openwork ribbon bow with your own hands? It’s very simple, you just need to prepare two meters of satin, a glue gun and transparent tape in advance.

Take a box decorated with wrapping paper and wrap a ribbon around it, after lubricating it with glue.
There should be two long ends left on the box lid, take one of them and twist a large loop, gluing its edge to the center of the lid.
Then the loop must be assembled, making several smaller loops from its folds and fixing their bases with glue.
Then repeat the same with the other end.

Remember that the volume of the future product depends on the number of small loops. To make the design more voluminous, make the loops as small as possible.

Lush

For curvy figures, it is better to use rigid materials that hold their shape well, such as velvet. To clearly see how to properly make an elegant bow from a ribbon with your own hands, use the training video with a visual master class.

Take a long ribbon and wrap it around your palm several times.
Trim the corners of the workpiece from each edge.
Unravel the workpiece and twist the same number of turns again, but so that the cut corners are in the middle.
Tie the middle and begin to carefully pull out each turn and straighten the petals, twisting them along the axis.

Now all that remains is to fluff the decoration and attach it to the gift using double-sided tape.

Based on classical techniques, you can make designer bows, complementing them with beads, sparkles or perforations, and use them to decorate handmade candles or hairstyles for September 1 - the scope for imagination is limitless. Don’t be afraid to experiment with materials and colors; an original color scheme or unusual fabric will only decorate the product, making it unique and exclusive.

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.

Flower bow made of satin ribbon. How to do it yourself?

Now let’s look at the festive options for satin bows. Making them will be a little more complicated, but the result will be noticeably more impressive. Lush bows for hairstyles from satin ribbons can be easily made yourself. At the same time, the cost of the product is several times less than the price of a store-bought bow. The diameter of the finished product will be 14 cm; if you want to get products with a larger or smaller diameter, then change the sizes of the tape sections proportionally.

So, to make such a satin bow with your own hands, you need:

Six cuts each:

Satin ribbon 5 cm wide, 14 cm long;

Ribbons 2.5 cm wide, 10.5 cm long;

Silver ribbon 0.3 cm wide, 15 cm long;

Silver ribbon 0.3 cm wide, 8 cm long;

Felt circle with a diameter of 5.5-6 cm;

Decoration for the middle of the bow;

Matching threads, needle, scissors;

Lighter or soldering iron, glue gun or moment-crystal glue;

An elastic band, a hairpin or a clip for the base.

Before assembling the bow, be sure to trim the edges of the cut pieces with a lighter so that they do not fray during the process. Fold 6 five-centimeter pieces in half and gather them onto a double thread, pull the thread so that you get a flower and secure.

Make the second flower in the same way from pieces of ribbon 2.5 cm wide. Then make ears from pieces of silver ribbon, as shown in the picture. Glue the ends together with glue or a glue gun.

Glue large silver ears onto the large flower, one per petal, so that they look beautifully from under the top flower.

Glue a second flower on top and smaller ears on it using the same principle. Cover the core with the prepared decoration. A bead, button, or medallion will do.

On the back side, glue a felt circle to the bow, and attach it with an elastic band, for example. If you use a clip or hairpin, cover them first with matching grosgrain ribbon.

Your bow is ready. It took less than an hour to make an elegant satin bow with your own hands.

Lush bow made of satin ribbons decorated with rhinestones

We will teach you how to make this wonderful decoration with your own hands in the master class. This version of an elegant bow, which you can make yourself, will delight any first-grader. An elegant unusual bow is very simple to make, but it will take more time to complete, since it consists of a large number of parts. Please note that you need to carefully complete each piece, since the overall appearance of the bow depends on how well each element is made. If you do not have the skill to work with satin ribbons, prepare materials for 5-7 extra blanks.

Materials for work:

Tape 2.5 cm wide and 6 meters long;

Rhinestones or beads with a diameter of half a centimeter;

Lighter or soldering iron, scissors, moment-crystal glue, ruler, pencil;

A felt circle with a diameter of 5 cm, fastened with an elastic band or a hair clip.

We cut approximately 50 pieces of ribbon, eleven centimeters long, and trim the edges of the pieces with a lighter.

Fold each piece in half, satin side inward, drop a small drop of glue onto the satin side at a distance of 2-3 centimeters from the fold in the middle and press with your fingers. When the ribbon sticks well, turn it with the satin side out. It turns out that this is the detail.

Then we fold this part in the form of a bow, so that the glued area is in the center, and the edges of the tape are folded to it from the back side.

We decorate the workpiece with rhinestones or beads. We make at least fifty of these parts. This is the most important stage of the work; if you don’t get a neat workpiece right away, we advise you to practice a little before doing the “finishing” parts.

When the parts are ready, assemble the bow. We begin gluing the blanks onto the felt circle in a circle with a slight overlap. Should fit 11-14 pieces in the first circle.

We glue the second and subsequent circles in a similar way, slowly moving towards the center of the felt circle; the number of elements in the row will decrease as we approach the center. This should give you several circles, gradually decreasing in diameter.

The more elements, the more magnificent the bow will be. After all the blanks are glued, we attach an elastic band or a hairpin using glue or a glue gun, you can add ribbons for tying. The bright lush bow is ready.

These bows will definitely please your little princesses. You can decorate your hair with them both on weekdays and on holidays; with these accessories, budding fashionistas will look elegant and neat. And you will save on the purchase of hair accessories. You can, for example, please a first-grader with such a necessary and beautiful gift for the first of September, or give a gift for her birthday.

Making a beautiful bow from ribbon

Even twenty years ago, every schoolgirl wore braids with ribbons woven into them.

Today, manufacturers produce a wide variety of bows for hair, clothing, gifts, etc. from satin or nylon ribbon.

But the most beautiful bow can only be made with your own hands.

1) A rather interesting bow is made from a satin ribbon of two colors

4) DIY hair bow

A bow for decorating a hairstyle, made by yourself, always looks beautiful and original. And also a real exclusive.

Are you planning a holiday or is your daughter going to first grade? In addition to a magnificent outfit, you need to prepare a beautiful bow to decorate your hair. Can such a bow be made from nylon tape?

If you were unable to find nylon ribbon of the required width on store shelves, organza can easily replace it.

To begin, we will prepare 2 ribbons 1.4 m long and 7.5 cm wide. We fold the ribbon in half lengthwise. Then we sew the folded edge with a needle by threading it on a thread. After the entire strip is stitched in this way, we begin to tighten the thread until the stitched strip becomes 0.4 m long.

Fasten the thread well and straighten the product. We do the same maneuver with the other tape. We cut out a circle with a diameter of 7.5 cm from felt or thick ribbon. We make two holes in the center of the circle, and thread a thin braid or ribbon into them to match the color of our bow.

Apply glue along the edge of the base and glue the first piece, then coat the base with glue in a spiral and glue the tape, after finishing the first tape, glue the second.

To prevent the edges from spilling out, the tape must be burned.

5) DIY bow from paper ribbon

With the help of such a bow you can beautifully decorate a gift box or complement a table setting.

For such an occasion, you need to choose a very elegant ribbon, perhaps with a golden edge, as well as a pink or blue ribbon.

We make it from a plain satin ribbon, from a ribbon with a golden edge of the same color, a thin satin ribbon and braid with a pattern.

We begin to collect the flower from a piece of wide ribbon. Fold the ribbon in half and stitch it with thread. We perform this manipulation with all segments.

And remember, in the store you can always buy a lot of elastic bands and hairpins for your beloved daughter, but a bow or hairpin made by yourself always looks more impressive and elegant!
