Pretty Bows | October 14th, 2009

I just finished wrapping a wedding gift and realized that I do whatever I can to get around the task of tying a bow. I would rather just tie a knot. Most times the aesthetic I’m going for doesn’t really make sense for a bow and a lot of the times I think bows can be tacky, but that’s only because they haven’t been done right. With the right material, a bit of skill and a play with scale, this shouldn’t be too hard right? Great tutorials here and here. Maybe my next wedding gift wrap job will have a pretty bow.
