How to Draw a Christmas Bow
Crisp, cold air. Snow glistening in the winter moonlight. A twilight of festivities ahead and Christmas shining brightly. What better way to show your holiday or Christmas spirit than with a beautiful Christmas bow, bursting of colors and glitter? Drawing a Christmas bow doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. In fact, with a few simple steps and some patience, you can create a stunning Christmas bow that’s guaranteed to bring a festive smile on everyone’s face.
Step 1: Choose Your Preferred Color Scheme For Your Bow
Head on over to your local craft store and pick out a color scheme for your bow. You don’t have to settle for the traditional colors like red, burgundy and green. You can get creative and choose colors like blue and silver or even orange and pink. Whatever colors you choose, try to pick colors that stand out against each other and that really pop.
Step 2: Decide On The Materials You’ll Need to Make the Bow
Once you’ve chosen your preferred colors, it’s time to decide on the materials you’ll need to make the bow. You’ll at least need ribbon, scissors, and a hot glue gun. If you want your bow to be extra sparkly, be sure to pick up some pieces of glitter as well. You can also purchase some crafty tools such as a paper trimmer, pom-pom makers, and glitter glue pens, which will make the entire process much easier and more efficient.
Step 3: Make The Blinky Festive Ribbon Strips
Using your scissors, cut strips of ribbon around an inch wide and about six to seven inches long. You can adjust the length depending on how big or small you would like your bow to be. Make sure to save some extra ribbon strips as you might need them later on. Once you’ve cut out your strips, loop them and secure them using a piece of thread or hot glue. This will form the base for the bow.
Step 4: Assemble the Bow Cup
Once you’ve formed the base, it’s time to assemble the bow cup. Begin by connecting one ribbon strip to the other with hot glue. Gently but firmly, cut the excess ribbon and re-glue the strip, to help you achieve the perfect cup shape. Repeat this process with the remaining ribbon strips and you should have something closely resembling a bow cup. You can decorate your bow further by gluing on sparkly gems and glitter of your choice.
Step 5: Tie the Loops Together
The last step is to tie the middle of your bow together. To do this, cut strips of excess ribbon and loop them together, securing them with hot glue or thread. If you’d like, you can use an extra piece of ribbon to tie a pretty little bow in the center. Once you’ve finished this step, your Christmas bow is complete.
Step 6: Showcase Your Beautiful Holiday Bow
You can display your Christmas bow proudly on wreaths, doorways, and trees. Get creative and show off your festive craft in as many ways as possible. You can even hang small bows on presents and decorations to help your home look even more merry and bright. Christmas bows are the perfect finishing touch to your holiday decor
Step 7: Get Creative with Patterns and Colours
Now that you know how to make a Christmas bow, the only thing left to do is to get creative. Vary the size of your bows for more festive flair and if you feel confident enough, why not try experimenting with new patterns and colors? There are so many creative possibilities with Christmas bows and the only thing that’s holding you back is your imagination.
