On the eve of the great holiday of Victory Day, St. George ribbons (two-color ribbons painted in black and orange) are handed out to passers-by on the streets of almost all cities of Russia. On the eve of May 9, many people tie these accessories to their clothes as a sign of memory and respect for the soldiers who heroically defended the freedom of our country.
How beautiful to tie a St. George ribbon step by step
Before learning how to tie a ribbon, you need to know where this accessory can be worn. So, the tape can be worn by attaching it to the chest on the left side (near the heart). It can also be tied around the wrist with a double knot or just around the sleeve. It is strictly forbidden to tie the tape on the dog's collar, weave it into the hair or use it instead of laces, and also pin it below the waist (including on the belt).
There are many ways to tie a St. George ribbon, but the most popular are the classic bow, the "M" shape and the loop.
The easiest way to attach the tape to your clothing is to make a loop with one end longer than the other.
An equally simple way of tying a ribbon is the bow option. To create it, first of all, make a wide loop, then connect the crossing point of the ribbons to the middle of the loop and tie it with a thin elastic band in the same color of the ribbon.
The third way is the letter "M". Take the tape, fold it in four, then stretch the ends in different directions to form the letter "M" you want.
Well, the last way is a checkmark. To create it, you need to bend the tape so that one end of it is one third longer than the other, and then stretch its ends to the sides.
It is worth noting that the St. George ribbon can be tied by all those whose families were affected by the Great Patriotic War, those who understand and realize the cost of this victory, those who remember their history and are proud of their country.
