A beautifully tied bow elevates any gift, making even the most humble present one the recipient will ooh and aah over — even before it’s opened.
I learned this technique from a friend who used to wrap gifts at a department store. All you need is a spool of ribbon and a pair of scissors, and your bows will never be the same.
1. Wrap a ribbon around the gift
2. Accordion-fold another piece of ribbon
3. Cut slits in the center
4. Tie the first ribbon to the loops
5. Fluff the loops
