Make a soft gift decoration that can be untied, stored flat, and used again for another occasion. Gather a clean fabric strip, fabric scissors, a small box, and a blank tag.
Set it up
Choose a strip long enough to circle the box twice with extra length for a bow, and trim loose threads. Center the crossed fabric underneath the box before making the top knot.
Put the idea to work
Cross the strip underneath the box, bring both ends to the top, and tie two balanced loops without adhesive.
Finish and keep it useful
Slide a tag beneath the center knot and include a note inviting the recipient to reuse the fabric ribbon. Avoid tying the knot so tightly that opening the present requires cutting through the strip.
Which fabric strip could become the ribbon on your next gift?
