DIY Christmas Bows Ideas

If you’re anything like us, then one of your favourite parts of the Christmas holidays is wrapping the presents you bought for other people. Sure, it’s great to get presents yourself, but there are few things we enjoy more than seeing our friends and family’s faces light up when we have them a gift that we picked out or made ourselves. What makes that even better is when you hand them something that you hand decorated, making the outside of the presented almost as exciting as the surprise underneath the wrapping and bows. Buying bows at the store, though, can add up in price and can also be constricting when it comes to wrapping schemes for those who really want to get fancy and creative with the gifts they’re giving.

Check out these gorgeous DIY bow tutorials that will make your loved ones gasp on Christmas morning!

Pom pom present topper

Are you and the friend you’re gifting to both avid fans of knitting, crochet, or other yarn based crafting techniques? Maybe you’re just a fan of fun, fuzzy textured stuff? Then this is definitely the gift topper for you! It’s not technically a bow, but we couldn’t help putting these awesome pom pom gift embellishments on the list.

Quadruple mini bows

Maybe your idea of a well wrapped gift is one with small, subtle detail rather than one with big, eye catching bells and whistles? Then these tiny little bows created in each corner of a gift are something you should definitely try!

Pyramid bow

Do you love the look and style of a simple, classic bow but you’d like to change at least some aspect of using ribbon up a little bit? Then maybe it’s the part that wraps around the gift that you should get creative with instead of the actual bow itself?
