Lavender Ribbon Decorated Favor Gift Box requires no tools other than a sharp pair of scissors to cut the ribbon and a piece of string.<\/p>\n
First choose a ribbon.
\nThis ribbon has wires inside which help to keep the shape of the bow. Most craft and sewing or fabric stores sell this kind of ribbon by the inch, foot or yard. The wider the ribbon the trickier the knot so get some different sizes to practice on. <\/p>\n
Start by using a piece of string to estimate the length of ribbon needed for each box.
\nWrap the string around the box and tie it roughly the size of the final bow and use the string to determine the length of the first piece of ribbon. Don’t cut all the ribbons until you have tied at least one bow and you are perfectly satisfied with the results.
\nWorking with this type of ribbon can be a challenge so its a good idea to practice a few to make sure you can get it right.<\/p>\n

Fluff the bow out and make sure you are satisfied with the results. Untie that first bow and use it as a length guide for the rest of the ribbons, allowing a bit extra as a fudge factor. <\/p>\n
Once the bow is tied its best to not crush the bow but if you do just pull it back into shape with out untying.<\/p>\n
Some people are better than others at this type of skill so if you find you are all thumbs ask a friend to try it.
\nAn alternative to this method would be to wrap the ribbon around the box and tape it in place. Then hot glue a separate bow over the cross formed by the ribbon. <\/p>\n
To store and transport them to the reception pack them in a cardboard box in alternating layers. Start with one full layer and inter space the next layer and so on to keep the bows from being crushed or simply use single layers in multiple boxes. <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"\n
