Charming, chic, unusual, and charming: there are bows in every way! They give a very special touch to packaging, decoration, clothes, and even hairstyles. They are that "gran finale" that makes any production much more beautiful.

We have separated a list of videos with valuable tips on how to make lace in different materials, such as gorguron ribbon, satin, and even paper. By applying the right technique, all of them are quite easy to make - and, with practice, you will certainly feel less and less difficulty in making this item. Check it out:

Great ideas for bows, don't you think? Besides being beautiful and versatile decorative objects, bows have a very interesting symbology. It is true that the meaning has subtle differences between traditions. However, in general, it represents union: with allies, with oneself, with the universe, and with the divine.

In a way, they also embody the search for the beautiful, the excellent. After all, people are not always satisfied with just the knots - which fulfill the practical function of keeping the lid on the gift box, the clothes closed, or the hair tied up, for example. Instead, they make a point of a beautiful finish, making everything more graceful and special.
