How to Use Daisies and Hearts Ribbon for Gift Wrapping

Why this ribbon works for gift wrapping

Daisies and Hearts Ribbon brings a cheerful floral touch to wrapped gifts. The 7/8" width is substantial enough to make a statement without overwhelming a package, and the woven polyester construction holds up well for tying bows and adding accents. Because it is machine washable on a delicate cycle, it is also a practical choice for gifts that might see a bit of handling before they are opened.

This guide walks you through using Daisies and Hearts Ribbon for gift wrapping, from estimating how much you need to tying a secure bow and pairing it with other materials. You will also find ideas for using the ribbon beyond the package, so your leftover yardage does not go to waste.

Ribbon specs that affect your wrapping

• Daisies and Hearts Ribbon: 7/8" wide woven ribbon This width is easy to handle for bows and wraps around most gift boxes without looking too thin or too bulky.

  

• Daisies and Hearts Ribbon: 100% polyester, machine washable on a delicate cycle If the ribbon gets creased or soiled before gifting, you can refresh it gently, unlike many decorative ribbons.
• Daisies and Hearts Ribbon: Available by the yard or by the roll (27 yard spool) Choose yardage for a single gift or the spool for multiple presents or craft projects.

How to tie a ribbon bow for gifts with Daisies and Hearts Ribbon

A well-tied bow starts with the right length of ribbon. For a standard gift box, allow enough ribbon to wrap around the box twice plus extra for the bow loops and tails. Because this ribbon is 7/8" wide, it creates a full bow without needing many loops.

1. Measure and cut: Unroll the ribbon and wrap it around the gift box to estimate the length needed for the wrap, then add extra for the bow. Cut with sharp scissors for a clean edge.
2. Center the ribbon: Place the ribbon under the box and bring both ends up to the top, crossing them at the center. Pull snug but not tight enough to dent the paper.
3. Create the first loop: Hold one end and form a loop, pinching it at the base. Wrap the other end around the loop and pull it through to create a second loop.
4. Adjust and fluff: Pull the loops gently to even them out, then trim the tails to your preferred length. The woven texture helps the bow hold its shape.

Daisies and Hearts ribbon ideas for gift wrapping

Beyond a classic bow, this ribbon can be used in several ways to make your gift stand out.

• Layered bow: Combine Daisies and Hearts Ribbon with a solid-color ribbon for a textured look. Tie the solid ribbon first, then add the floral ribbon on top.
• Ribbon rose: Create a simple ribbon rose by folding and twisting a length of ribbon, then securing it with a dot of glue. Attach it to the gift as a decorative accent.
• Band wrap: Wrap the ribbon around the box several times to create a striped effect, then finish with a small bow at the top.
• Gift tag tie: Use a short piece of ribbon to attach a handmade tag to the gift, tying it through the hole and finishing with a knot.

Choosing yardage vs. the roll

Daisies and Hearts Ribbon is available by the yard or by the 27-yard spool. If you are wrapping a single gift or just want to try the ribbon, buying by the yard lets you test the width and pattern without committing to a large quantity. For multiple gifts, craft projects, or if you plan to use the ribbon for home decor accents like pillows or duvet covers, the spool offers better value and ensures you have enough for larger projects.

Keep in mind that the ribbon is 7/8" wide, so it may be too wide for very small jewelry boxes. For those, consider a narrower ribbon or use this one as an accent rather than the main wrap.

Ribbon wrapping tips for a polished finish

• Prevent creasing: Store the ribbon loosely rolled or on the spool to avoid sharp folds. If creases appear, a gentle press with a cool iron on the polyester setting can help, but test on a scrap first.
• Secure the start: Tape the ribbon end to the box before wrapping to keep it in place while you work.
• Trim tails evenly: Cut the ribbon tails at an angle or notch them for a professional look. Use sharp scissors to avoid fraying.
• Match the occasion: The daisy and heart pattern suits birthdays, Mother's Day, and everyday celebrations. Pair with kraft paper or pastel wrapping for a cohesive look.

Using leftover ribbon beyond gift wrapping

If you have extra ribbon after wrapping, Daisies and Hearts Ribbon is also suitable for home decor accents. The catalog suggests using it for window accent embellishment, accent pillows, duvet covers, and upholstery. Because it is machine washable on a delicate cycle, it can be a practical addition to fabric projects that need refreshing. Keep in mind that the ribbon is 100% polyester, so it should be washed separately or with similar colors to avoid bleeding.
