Testing ribbon on a gift box with the formation of a classic bow

Pick over one wide or several narrow tapes taking into account the color gamut packaging.
Place the tape so that one of the free tails was short, while the second end was almost the entire length of the tape.
By skipping the tape on top of the box (along the middle line), turn your gift to the long end of the tape.
After the "meeting" of two parts of the tape, intertwines them among themselves the cross on the cross.
Deploy the box at 90 ° and, holding the center intersection with a finger, turn the box with a long tail.
Long end start under the central cross diagonally and output on the opposite direction. As a result, free tails will be located opposite each other.
Getting started to form a bow. Taking a shorter end (bottom), form a looping from the tape.
Taking the top tape and moving counterclockwise, twice wramp it the previously created loop.
Next, carefully stretch out from under the central part of the bow in the second loop. We can make petals-loops on the sides and tighten the bow.

Using the described algorithm, you can tie a bow both in the center of the box and at its corner. At the same time, in the first step, it should be skipped with a ribbon not through the midline of the box, but to shift closer to any side.
