Decorative Packaging

Peonies don’t usually bloom in December, but this project allows you to
create peony blossoms with simple bows. Start with an inexpensive pre-made bow and snip each loop at an angle. Fill the empty spot in the middle with another snipped pre-made bow. Experiment with varied sizes of bows and ribbon to fit the size package you have.
You can also use a bunch of identical pastel ribbons — snipped or not — to
cover the top of a box. Another idea is to use scalloped edger’s to snip
each loop in a bow, then fan out the ribbons to create an abstract flower.
For a modern spiral design, a spool of ribbon and double-sided tape are all
you need. Working from the spool, make a small loop and secure it with
double-sided tape. Make a slightly larger loop around the smaller one and
secure. Continue in this manner, making each new loop slightly larger than
the previous. Cut the ribbon and secure end to last loop with double-sided
tape. Attach to a box by running a length of ribbon through the bottom loop, then around the box; secure with double-sided tape.
