Wondering how to wrap that perfect gift to make someone’s day? Drawing a bow on the present can make it look truly special and let the other person know instantly that it is a gift. But don’t let anyone tell you it’s as easy as pie, because drawing a bow isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It’s a skill and it takes practice to get it right. But don’t worry, here are some simple steps to mastering the art of drawing a bow.
Step 1: Get the Perfect Material
The first step to draw a bow is to grab the right material for it. You can start with something simple like ribbons or get creative by using paper – its all up to you! Just make sure to keep the material in sync with the vibes of the present. Matte finishes for something classic, bold prints for a wild gift, you get the point. Settle for something that is easy to use as well, pick materials that are easy to work with and make your bow-making process much easier. And don’t forget to find something that is large enough, no one wants a bow too small.
Step 2: Measure and Cut
This is the fun part. Length and width of the material will determine the size of the bow. So, measure twice, cut once! Just select the size of the bow you want and make sure to cut two pieces in uniform length and two in uniform width. Once cut, get ready to create something super special.
Step 3: Make the Loops
The loops are the trickiest part, but the foundation of your bow – so don’t mess this up. Pick one of the four parts and loop it till you reach the size and shape you desire for the bow. Make sure the middle portion serves as a connection for the bow. Do the same for the other three pieces, and there you have it, your four loops. Now let’s make it look pretty.
Step 4: Join the Loops and Give the Bow its Final Look and Feel
This is the part where your bow-making skills go to the next level. Start by connecting the loop in the middle with the other two and give the end a unique shape if preferred. Do the same with the other two loops and create a contrast if necessary. Once connected, give the loops a strong hold by firmly joining them in the middle with ribbons or any material of your choice. And don’t forget to tie a neat knot so it can give a prominent appearance.
Step 5: Arrange the Bow and Secure it with Glue or tape
Arrange the loops in an orderly manner and make sure the shape resembles a bow. You can let your creative juices flow by giving the bow an intricate pattern or a flat look. To secure the bow in its place, use glue or tape to hold it down. And there you have it – a perfect bow to top off the perfect gift.
Conclusion
By following these five simple steps, you can draw striking bow on gifts to make them look even more special. From picking the perfect material to arranging the bow – practice is the key factor. So, get creative and before you know it, you’ll be an expert at drawing bows in no time.
