3 Types of Ribbon Gift Bows

Every year people share gifts for many occasions, from birthdays, weddings and baby showers to Valentines, Mother’s and Father’s day. And, of course, the year end holidays of Christmas, Hanukah and Kwanza. And, by adding ribbon gift bows, you add a personal touch that makes all of your gifts seem more luxurious or fun. We all like receiving (and giving) presents with flair and finesse.

Classic Gift Bow

different uses for ribbon rolls when making holiday and gift bows

The first bow is quite basic in that it’s the same type of bow we all know from when we learned how to tie our shoes as children. Start by sliding the ribbon under the package, bringing the ends over the top and knotting the two ends together; at this point, check that the tails are the same length. Second, make a loop with the left side of the ribbon pining it between your thumb and forefinger to hold it in place. Finally, make a second loop with the right side of the ribbon and knot the loops on the top of the package, arranging them so everything looks good. See this in action at WikiHow.

Two Colored Ribbon Gift Bows

Make this bow independently and then secure it to the present or gift box. For this bow, you will need two ribbon widths and two colors of ribbon; let your imagination go wild! Place the skinnier ribbon on top of the wider ribbon and secure it into place, either by stitching or gluing it down. Now, you should have a solid, single piece of ribbon to use for your bow. Fold the two edges into the middle of the ribbon to create a continual loop and glue the edges together. To hide these edges, take a smaller length of either color ribbon around the middle. This action will also gather the center to help create the look of a bow. Tie this off, or secure it with a small amount of glue.

Luxurious Pom Pom Bow

The third bow is a classic pom pom bow with tails. Again, make this bow and then secure it to the present or gift bow. Pom pom bows are the most lavish type of gift bow. To make this bow, you will need one very long piece of ribbon. Also, the longer the piece of ribbon, the fuller and bigger the bow will be. Start by folding the ribbon in half to find the middle of the ribbon.

Once you have the center, twist the ribbon and create a loop on one side, do the same on the other side. Repeat until you have an equal number of loops on each side with some ribbon remaining for the tails. Once you reach this step, take a smaller length of the same ribbon and tie it around the center of the bow (where you were twisting the loops) to secure the whole thing. Once it is secure, ensure the tails are the same length and gently pull the loops apart to make the pom pom. Watch a short Better Homes and Gardens video to see this in action.
