It is not enough to purchase a gift for a dear person; You can, of course, ask the seller in the store to wrap the purchased item. But you can show your own talents. Moreover, now it will not be difficult to find a beautiful package. And how to make a bow out of paper, we now find out.
With scissors and glue
The easiest way is to make a so-called "French" bow. We will need to print the finished template. Choose paper color. Carefully cut along the contour of each part.
Then we fold the main part with the tips inward. Glue to the base. Fit a small jumper. The main thing in the process is not to crumple the beautiful ends.
Origami from paper
A bow can be created without resorting to glue. In the origami technique, it all depends on your patience and accuracy.
Let's take a step-by-step look at the whole process of creating paper accessories.
First step . We outline the guide lines. To do this, add a leaf (10 centimeters by 10) in half. The square turns into a triangle. Bent? Now straightened out. The leaf was turned over and bent again from corner to corner, only now in the opposite direction we keep the direction. Two lines are ready. They straightened the square again and created an even rectangle out of it. Got a fold. Unfolded the sheet. Repeated the procedure with a rectangle for the other sides. So, we have identified the edges. There is a blank.
Step Two We add a rhombus, but not simple. We connect two faces that are perpendicular to each other, and carefully straighten the other two. We bend the upper corner of the rhombus (1 centimeter) down. Unbend the figure completely. Let's see what happened. If you see a square with bends, then you are on the right track. Next, bend the perpendicular face of a large square, and make the bends perpendicular to the small square bend outward with the click of a hand. On the opposite side, we perform the same actions. As a result, you should be holding a rhombus with a dented cavity.
Step Three We continue to create a bow out of paper with our own hands. Now we take our fingers over the edge of the rhombus from the side of the dent, bend a little. The angle should lie on a bend from the angle of a large square. We perform this operation for the remaining parties.
Step Four For him we have to arm ourselves with scissors. On the bent parts we make cuts. After that, holding the center of the dent with your finger for insurance, we carefully unwrap the rhombus. On the back of the workpiece, we straighten the resulting small rhombus.
Step Five Four wings, which are now clearly visible, make up the upper and lower parts of our bow, respectively. We bend the upper wing over the lower one. Next, we deal with the lower wing - we bend it so that we have a bent triangle. We do the same with the other three parties.
Step Six The remaining upper wings, which are so far connected, are cut along the bend. We fold the liberated parts once more and make a notch in the form of a triangle on the tip .
The final. Turn the figure over and bend the two side wings. In this case, the angle of the wing lies under our tiny square that has just appeared.
Now we generally imagine how to make a bow out of paper. Before practice, it does not hurt to print a detailed origami diagram, it will go much faster with it.
Fan technology
If the above method scares you of complexity, then act like a child. Simplify the task. Fold a bright colorful leaf with an accordion. As if you were going to make yourself a fan. Only here we will fasten the workpiece in the middle. For this, a silk ribbon and a stapler will do. We clamp the paper with a brace, tie the tape over it, and straighten the ends.
Volumetric forms
By a similar principle, you can collect a bow from corrugated paper. She does not even need to crumple into an accordion. Cut a large rectangle, fold it with the long sides inward, so that the double ribbon comes out. Bend its ends to the middle and fasten with a bracket from a stapler. Fingers knit the middle, tie it with braid, and carefully straighten the bow, giving it volume. The corrugation is very plastic, you have the opportunity to fashion almost any shape.
Oh this dior
Let's see how to make a bow from paper in the style of Dior. This unusual and exquisite decoration is made of four paper rings of different diameters.
Four ribbons are cut from a sheet of wrapping paper, one shorter than the other. We glue hoops from them. We grab each hoop in the middle with glue or a bracket. Then we apply and glue one ring to another, aligning in the middle. You need to move from the largest link to the smallest. Use the button, sequin or small brooch as the final point. This tiny piece will hide the joint on the upper ring.
So, how to make a bow out of paper, we learned. It remains only to apply this knowledge to the joy of oneself and one's neighbors.
