The perfect Christmas bows

The assignment here was to create a process graphic showing how to tie a Christmas bow using cloth ribbon that actually looks like one made by a professional gift wrapper (if there is such an occupation).

The images were drawn in Illustrator but because hands were involved and knowing how tricky it can be to draw these, photographs were taken of me holding the ribbon. The photos were then scanned and drawn, adjusting the illustration accordingly for the best representation for the particular step. As with most of my assignments, I wrote the headline and text.

An video for online broadcast was made with this particular package of me making the "pompom" and "florist" bow. Very Martha - a good thing!
