How to make a bow of paper?

Want to learn how to make bows of paper, which you can decorate a gift, a Christmas tree for the New Year or even a room? If you have a little time and desire in reserve, you can learn how to make bows from packing, corrugated or plain paper. Let's start, perhaps, with the most simple in the manufacture of ribbons of paper, which will look great on the tree.

Simple and fast

Here you can make such bright bows of paper with your own hands in just a few minutes. If you hang hangings on a thread, then you can use them as original Christmas ornaments. With them, the appearance of the forest beauty will immediately change beyond recognition.

We will need:

• colored paper of several colors;
• scissors;
• clerical glue;
• thread.

1. To begin with, you need to draw templates from paper to make a bow, cut them. To make one bow, you need three such blanks.
2. The bow itself is made from a piece with oval oblong "petals". Take the glue and properly cover the jumper between them. Now we bend the "petals" in the middle, so that the edges coincide. We take the second part of the bow and its center with glue. We glue the first part from the top, trying to align it strictly in the center. Now the final stage - a piece of tape (the third part) is lubricated from the back with glue, and we wrap it both parts along a web.
3. As a result, you will have a beautiful two-layered bow. It remains only to glue it to the thread, and you can hang the decoration on the tree. As you can see, everything is very simple.

Bright and original

The next task is somewhat more complicated. Try to make an unusual bow of paper, which can be attached to the box with a gift. It consists of several parts. It takes a lot of time to make such crafts, but the result is worth it, because our bow of paper will also be voluminous!

We will need:

• medium-sized mug;
• pencil;
• dense colored paper or cardboard;
• clerical glue;
• pencil.

1. Put a cup on a piece of paper, circle it with a pencil. In total, it is necessary that on the sheet five circles of the same diameter are drawn. Now with scissors, as carefully as possible, we cut out the details.
2. Each detail is doubled, and then doubled again. We carefully fix all the lines of folds. Expand the parts and cut the circles along the fold lines, not cutting to the center, as shown in the picture.
3. Each turned out "petal" with the help of a pencil twists, to make it look like a tube with a pointed tip.
4. To ensure that the tubes do not turn around, fix the tips with glue. Similarly, we process all the "petals".
5. The obtained "stars" are glued one on one, shifting a little "rays" of each of the following.
6. We paste on the bow the following tiers of the resulting "stars". It is important to properly glue them together so that the bow does not crumble. The upper part is smeared with glue from below, and strongly press it with a pencil, we wait for the glue to dry.
7. As a result, you will get such a beautiful bow, which you can effectively decorate any box with a gift.

Paper is an inexpensive and pliable material, so it is possible to make various crafts in the form of bows of different colors and sizes. Even an ordinary square, carved from a multicolored corrugated paper and strapped in the central part, easily turns into a bow that will serve as a simple but bright decoration. The manufacture of such hand-made articles can be entrusted even to the youngest children.

With your own hands, you can make both a gift box or simply make a gift in paper .
