Step 20 Finish the Bow

For this step you will need a small piece of ribbon, your bow, glue stick, white glue, and scrap paper.

Place glue along one side of the small piece of ribbon (Photo 1). Wrap the glued ribbon around the center of the bow (Photo 2), covering up the stitching (Photo 3). Pinch closed for a while to ensure the ribbon sticks and trim any excess. Place a dot of white glue on the back of the bow (Photo 4) and place in the center of the box top (Photo 5). I will also weight this down while the glue is drying to make sure the ribbon in the center of the bow doesn't pop up before the glue is dried.
