How To Tie A Bow

It’s a distant friend’s birthday party in the evening and you have not yet bought her a gift. You rummage through the gift cabinet and find loads of decorations and gift wrapping articles. You run to the nearest mall and buy her gift that you think she will like. Feeling guilty about not giving too much of thought and effort into the gift, you decide to give it personal touch. You bring out all gift-wrapping material to make a beautiful package. You finish after an hour and half and you are ready to go. You arrive at the party filled with friends and as you present her gift, you notice the bow you tied to hold the package together had fallen apart. You are embarrassed at this tacky presentation and silently vow to make a better effort next time. It is an art to tie a perfect bow and the more creative you get the better the presentation and gesture. You can make bows for a gift from different material depending on what you want the result to look like. Usually satin ribbon is used to make a pretty bow, but you could also use recycled material like leftover pieces of paper, wired ribbons or cloth from earlier craft activities. You could also add embellishments to beautify your gift. Nowadays satin ribbons come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes.
