How to make a magnificent bow for gift wrapping

Presenting gifts is always better than beautifully packaged. And while you can not do without beautiful paper and decoration in the form of a bow. You can make it out of paper of any color according to the proposed workshop.
To make a bow you will need to take:
- A4 sheet;
- scissors;
- glue.
The first step is to place the sheet horizontally, after which we make a fold in half.
After that we do another addition.
Then we fold it in half again, as a result, we get a workpiece folded 8 times.
We unfold the sheet, we see the strips into which we want to cut our sheet.
Carefully cut everything into equal strips, they get 8 pieces.
Divide the strips in half - 4 lay aside, and the other 4 is slightly shortened with scissors (about 5 cm).
We start making a bow with long stripes. We take one, put it in a ring and connect it with glue.
Now this ring needs to be shaped like a figure eight. To do this, gently bend the ring in the middle and glue a little inside.
By the same principle, we make 3 more "eights".
We begin to make a bow. To do this, we just glue the elements just made together at a right angle.
We take one more element and glue it diagonally.
Symmetrically to the previous one we fix the 4th “eight” made of a long strip.
Now it’s the turn of the shortened stripes, we also make “eights” of them, but they turn out a little less than the previous ones.
We begin to stick them on our bow. During this process, all elements must alternately overlap.
At this stage, all 8 elements are glued together.
Now you need to arrange the middle of our bow. To do this, take a cut piece of strip (about 5 cm long) and close it in a ring.
It remains to stick it in the center, our magnificent bow for gift wrapping is ready.
