The pyramid thus obtained must be fastened across the remaining piece of tape or a piece of tape of a different color, bandaging all three rings. You can grab the last ring only by the inner edge during strapping, so the strapping “hides inward. But you can not hide it. Moreover, it is quite possible to use rhinestones or a ring made from a piece of beads. Yes, and you can just pull off the rings with a regular thread, and then sew on this place beads or sparkles. An important point here is the fact that the seams that connected the segments into rings should be strapped, because it will not be very beautiful if they are accessible to the human eye.

The number of revolutions depends on how large the bow will be, and, of course, on your desire. The resulting rings should be tied across the satin ribbon or fastened as described above. Then you need to carefully spread the resulting petals. Here is our bow and ready, now with ease it can be mounted on a gift or on a belt, on a hair band or a hair clip.
