How to Tie a Ribbon Around a Box

Next: Basic Bow

1. Tape the flaps to the box with three small pieces of double-sided tape.

2. To add the ribbon, start with the box facing top side up. Using a spool of uncut ribbon, wrap the ribbon around the length of the box and bring the spool back to the center. Be sure you've left enough at the end to tie a bow or secure a handmade bow.

3. Cross the end and the spool of ribbon at the top of the box, then wrap the spool around the width of the box. Measure a length of ribbon from the spool that's approximately the same as the length of the first end, and cut.

4. Tie the two ends together in a knot at the center. Now you're ready to add a bow for a complete presentation.
