Tying a ribbon around a box is a simple yet elegant way to add a touch of sophistication to any gift. It can also be used to secure the contents of the box or to create a decorative accent. There are many different ways to tie a ribbon around a box, but the most common method is the “basic bow.”
To tie a basic bow, you will need a length of ribbon that is at least twice the width of the box, scissors, and tape. First, cut the ribbon to the desired length. Then, fold the ribbon in half and place it over the center of the box. Cross the two ends of the ribbon over each other and pull them through the loop at the back of the box. Tighten the knot and then make a loop with each end of the ribbon. Cross the loops over each other and pull them through the center of the knot. Tighten the knot and trim the ends of the ribbon.
