If you have a Louis Vuitton box and want to add some extra flair to it, adding a ribbon is a great way to do so. However, putting ribbon on a Louis Vuitton box can be tricky, especially if you want it to look clean and polished. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to put ribbon on a Louis Vuitton box step by step.
Step 1: Choose the Right Ribbon
The first step in putting ribbon on a Louis Vuitton box is choosing the right ribbon. You want to choose a ribbon that complements the color of the box and is wide enough to make an impact but not too wide that it overwhelms the size of the box. A good rule of thumb is to choose a ribbon that is between 1-2 inches wide.
Step 2: Measure the Ribbon
The next step is measuring the length of the ribbon you’ll need for your box. To do this, wrap the ribbon around your box twice, making sure there’s enough slack for tying a bow at the top. Cut the ribbon at this length.
Step 3: Tie the Ribbon
Now it’s time to tie your ribbon around your Louis Vuitton box. Place your cut length of ribbon across the center of your box with both ends hanging down over either side of your box. Bring both ends up towards each other and tie them in a knot at the top center of your box.
TIP:
If you’re struggling with getting an even knot, try making one loop with one end of your ribbon and then another loop with other end before tying them together.
Step 4: Create Your Bow
With your knot tied securely in place, it’s now time to create your bow. Take one end of your ribbon and create a loop, pinching the center of the loop to hold it in place. Then, take the other end of your ribbon and create a second loop, again pinching the center of this loop. Cross these two loops over each other, so that they are perpendicular to each other.
Take the end of your first loop (the one closest to you) and feed it over and under the second loop (the one farthest from you). Then take this same end and bring it up through the center where both loops cross over each other. Pull tight.
TIP:
If you’re having trouble keeping your bow even or symmetrical, try using a small piece of tape or a twist tie to hold it in place while adjusting.
Step 5: Adjust Your Bow
With your bow tied, you can now adjust it to make sure it looks just right. Fluff up any loops that look flat or uneven. You can also adjust the tails of your ribbon so they hang down evenly on either side of your box.
Step 6: Trim Excess Ribbon
Finally, trim any excess ribbon from the tails or from where you tied your knot at the top center of your box. Be sure to cut at an angle for a clean finish.
Congratulations!
You have successfully put ribbon on your Louis Vuitton box! With these simple steps, you can elevate any gift or product packaging with a touch of elegance and sophistication.
