- 1-1/2 inch wide satin raspberry wired ribbon
- 1 Small pink rhinestone button
Instructions
- Wrap a medium, rectangular box in raspberry paper.
- Cut 2 pieces of ribbon: one long enough to wrap around the length
of the box plus 1 inch and another long enough to wrap around the
width of the box plus one inch.
- Center the shorter piece of ribbon on the top width of the box
and glue, overlapping the ends on the bottom of the box. Then center
the longer piece of ribbon on the top length of the box and glue,
overlapping the ends on the bottom of the box.
- To make the bow, cut a 26 inch piece of ribbon. Form two evenly
sized loops with the ends being the same length.

are even with each other.
- Trim the ends to matching lengths, cutting them into a V shape.

Large Square Box
Difficulty - Medium
Materials
- Satin raspberry paper (or paper with a sheen)
- 1-1/2 inch wide satin raspberry wired ribbon
- 1 Large pink rhinestone button
Instructions
- Wrap a large tall box in raspberry paper.
- Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to wrap around the entire box
4 times plus 20 inches.
- Lay ribbon on the top of the box and wrap underneath the box, crossing
at the bottom of the box.
- Bring both sides of the ribbon ends to the center top of the box
tie a knot.
- Using the ends, tie a bow on one side of the box the same way shoelaces
are tied. Adjust the loops so they are even with each other.
- With the remaining length of the ends, tie a bow on the opposite
side of the box to create a 4 loop bow, adjusting all loops so they
are even with each other and have a open form.
- Trim the ends to matching lengths, cutting them into a V and bending
them to form a nice shape. Keep the tails long so they will flow over
the side of the box.
- Glue a rhinestone button on top of the bow to finish the gift.
Tip - Appling a small amount of glue under the end
of each ribbon tail and attaching it to the side of the box will keep
the tails in place.
