If you don’t have much free time to create something very original and unusual, make a magnificent bow from a standard wide satin ribbon. You will need a cut much longer than if you just wrap a blanket with a baby and tie a bow manually.
Such a product is carried out easily. The sequence of work will be as follows:
1. Take the tape and start unwinding it, gradually forming loops in your hands. Try to make them the same size. If you have problems with the eye, you can perform preliminary marking, marking with chalk on the wrong side of the place where it will be necessary to do excesses. Although this is completely optional. Even not very even loops in the total mass look spectacular.
2. When you have collected the required number of curls, tie a knot of thread in the middle or perform a “dead loop” for reliability.
3. Wrap this part several times, fasten the ends with a knot.
4. Spread the loops of the bow. Trim the rest of the tape and trim the edges so that they do not crumble.
Such a bow can be sewn to the envelope of a newborn. If you want long untwisted ends of ribbons that will serve as decorative elements or be used to wrap blankets, you need to provide them in advance. Before starting work, it is worth unwinding the free end of the tape of the required length and leave the same at the end. If you forgot to do this, you can sew the finished bow on another ribbon.

Master Class
Very beautiful decor, as shown in the following photo, is also easy to make. If you did not find the finished two-color ribbon, it is easy to make it from different ones.
Take a wide ribbon. Put a narrow one on it. So that the two-color loop does not then separate into separate ones, and the narrow strip does not shift relative to the center, it is better to connect them with glue in some places. Do it where there is an excess or in the middle, but then they should fit snugly against one another. The rest of the principle of operation is the same as in the previous version. By the way, in the middle, instead of a narrow ribbon of a different shade, you can use contrast lace.
Chic bow for girl's envelope
If you know for sure that you are getting ready to meet a little princess from the hospital, then you can try to create a very effective white-pink decoration with beads, lace, flowers and other decor.
A combination of tapes of different textures and widths looks good. The assembly principle for such bows is the same as already described. The only difference is that you create two separate elements, and then connect them together. And also make fewer stitches and stack them differently. You can fix the direction of the position of the curls with glue or threads.
Combining Manufacturing Techniques
A very beautiful gift for your baby can be made from satin ribbons using the kanzashi technique, and even better, combining all the features together. If you are preparing for childbirth, but you have not yet been told the gender of the baby (and it happens!), Make a bow of neutral white color. It will suit both the boy and the girl.
The center can be decorated with a kanzashi flower, and the basis can be made in the form of ordinary loops. Thin ribbons, as you can see, also look spectacular.
You saw how you can make a bow for discharge from the hospital with your own hands. So while there is time before the birth of the baby, get involved in a pleasant creative process. Create the first gift for your baby.
