Wrapping a beautiful gift doesn t have to be hard. We ll show you how to create your own lovely, full bows to help you get the department store look in just a few minutes. Whether you make your own wrapping paper or wrap your gifts with fabric, a classic pom-pom bow makes a fabulous topper for every gift-giving occasion. Making your own allows you to customize your bow with your favorite colors and patterns.
You don t have to be a regular at Santa s workshop to master this bow. Our technique is easy enough for any beginner and works for all kinds of ribbons. If this is your first time making an intricate bow, we recommend starting with a wire-edged ribbon, like the one we used (Plaid Check Wired Ribbon, $14.99, Walmart). The wiring will allow you to style the bow s loops, which will easily hide any imperfections.
