1. What you need to know about wrapping a box with a ribbon Everyone has wrapped their gift and is ready to go.

We show you how to tie a simple bow and how to create a diagonal bow and elegant woven look around your gift box! Lay the tape horizontally across the top of the box. Leave about 4 to 8 inches (10.16 to 20.32 centimeters) hanging to the side for the end of the bow. Don't cut the tape yet. • It is better to have more tape hanging over the side than too little. You can always cut it shorter later. Pull the remaining tape under the case and from the back to the front. Do not go tie a ribbon around a box or you may lose your place. Instead, lift the box and carry the rest of the tape behind. Replace the box once the tape comes out on the other side. Cross the straps across the front of the box. Bring the tie ribbon on gift toward the center of the box, then bring the shorter end closer. Twist the bands around each other so they are aligned vertically. • If your tape has a right side and a wrong side, you may need to rotate it twice to avoid seeing the wrong side of the tape. Wrap the tape around the back of the box and return to the front. Pick up the box again. Take the longer part of the tape out from behind the box and out the other side. Put the box down again. • Place your thumb against the crooked part to hold it securely as you wrap the tape around the back.

Thread the left loop through this smaller loop, then pull to tighten it. Adjust the bow and then trim the excess tape. Take a moment to adjust the loops and tails. If you used a cable tie, you can also loosen the loops. For a fancier touch, cut the ends of the tails into angles or Vs. Adjust the bow and then trim the excess tape.
