How to Wrap a Jewelry Box Better than Tiffany’s

TrueFacet Holiday Shops Sale

Whether it’s a square bracelet box or a wide necklace box, here are our simple step-by-step instructions to expertly wrap up your jewelry or watch box with a ribbon, just like Tiffany & Co.!

1. To begin, find the longest side of your box. Using that side as your guide, drape the end of the ribbon over the side, across that longest side, and down the opposite side of your box. Measure five lengths of ribbon.

2. Take about a length and a half of ribbon (about 10 inches, depending on the size of your box) and drape it over the top of the box.

3. Wrap the long end of the ribbon around the box, placing the longer end atop the shorter length.

4. Place your finger over the middle of the box and ribbon to hold it in place. Then fold the long end down towards you.

5. Keeping your finger or thumb of the center of the ribbon to keep it in place, wrap the long end of the ribbon around the box vertically. Bring that length over the top of all of the ribbon.

6. Take the longer end tuck it under all the layers of ribbon by slipping it under the bottom right-hand side and bringing it up through the left-hand side. Pull both ends to tighten and straighten the ribbon as needed.

7. Now, to tie your bow, wrap the bottom right ribbon around your thumb to create a loop.

8. Then bring the right ribbon around the top, winding it counter clockwise around the loop.

9. To create the second loop of your bow, pull the right ribbon through the loop and the base of your left loop.

11. Pull the loops to tighten your bow.

12. Trim the ends of your ribbon. And voila! A picture-perfect ribbon!
