Before you learn how to tie a ribbon, you need to know where this accessory can be worn. So, the ribbon can be worn by attaching it to the chest on the left side (near the heart). It can also be tied on the wrist with a double knot or simply on the sleeve. It is strictly forbidden to tie a ribbon on a dog’s collar, weave it into the hair or use it instead of laces, or pin it below the waist (including on a belt).
There are many ways to tie a ribbon, but the most popular are the classic bow, the “M” shape and the loop.
The easiest way to attach a ribbon to clothing is to make a loop in which one end is longer than the other.
No less in a simple way tying a ribbon is an option in the form of a bow. To create it, first make a wide loop, then connect the place where the ribbons cross 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 ribbon, fold it in four, then stretch its ends in different directions to form the desired letter “M”.
Well, the last way is a tick. To create it, you need to bend the tape so that one end is one third longer than the other, and then stretch its ends to the sides.
It is worth noting that 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 can tie the knot.

This symbol appeared in the era of Catherine II, who established the highest military award of the Russian Empire - the Order of St. George.
History of the St. George Ribbon
The St. George's ribbon appeared in 1769 by decree of Empress Catherine II, who introduced the soldier's Order of St. George the Victorious. This was a very honorable and prestigious award; it was received by military personnel for special bravery in battle. The colors of the stripes symbolized the battle: black - thick smoke, orange - bright flames. During the times of the Russian Empire, the ribbon was worn on the uniform, thrown over the right shoulder.
The film is named after St. George the Victorious, an important Christian saint who, according to legend, performed many miracles and defeated the terrible serpent that devastated the earth. His feat is depicted on Russian coins and on the coats of arms of Moscow and the Moscow region.
The St. George Ribbon was used to decorate Soviet awards, including the Order of Glory and the medal “For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.” She had five longitudinal stripes- three black and two orange.
In 2005, the public action “St. George’s Ribbon” was held for the first time in the Moscow region, organized by the RIA Novosti news agency and the regional public organization “Student Community”. Since then, the event has been held annually not only in Russia, but also in other countries. St. George's ribbons have become a symbol of memory of the Great Patriotic War, the feat of veterans and Victory.

Basic methods
It is customary to wear the St. George ribbon on the chest on the left as a sign that the feat of Soviet soldiers remains forever in the hearts of descendants. It can also be tied around the wrist; many people attach the ribbon to a mirror or car antenna.
Loop
A simple and common option is to attach a St. George ribbon in the form of a loop. To do this, you need to cut off 10-15 centimeters of the ribbon, cross the ends in the shape of the letter “X” and pin the middle with a brooch, pin or badge. Wear on the left side of the chest.
Bow
You can attach the St. George ribbon in the form of a simple bow. It can be tied in any usual way, the main thing is to straighten the knot, “ears” and ends of the ribbon. You can also not tie the ribbon, but simply form two loops out of it and secure them in the middle with a pin or badge.
Eight bow
Take about 30 centimeters of tape, fold it into a figure eight, and secure it in the middle. Take a shorter ribbon and also fold it into a figure eight and secure it. Next you need to take two more tapes, each smaller than the previous one. You will get four ribbons different lengths, folded in figures of eight. Stack them on top of each other and fasten them with another ribbon. You will get a large but discreet bow, which should be secured on the left side of the chest.
Zigzag
The St. George ribbon can be attached to clothing in the form of a zipper or a zigzag. To do this, fold the tape three times like an accordion and pull the ends a little to form the letter “N”. Secure with pins or sew. Attach to clothing with a pin, brooch or badge.
Tie
To tie a St. George's ribbon and tie, you will need a long ribbon. You can use any usual method of tying a tie. For example, wrap the ribbon in a circle so that the left end is longer. Place the right end over the left and pass crosswise under it. Then wrap the ends again, forming a loop, into which you thread the left edge from bottom to top and pull it out of the loop, thread it through the eyelet and tighten.
Star
A more complex method, but the result looks original and festive. You will need 5 pieces of tape 8 centimeters long. Fold each in half and cut at an angle, 2 centimeters from the edge. Place the cut sides facing each other, fasten with fire - matches or a lighter. Turn the pieces inside out so that the seam is in the middle. Fasten them together with fire or a soldering iron - you get a star with a hole on the back side. Next, fold a standard length ribbon in the shape of a checkmark and place a star on the fold, in the center of which attach a decorative element - for example, a badge. You can secure the decoration to your clothes with a safety pin.
Chrysanthemum
Prepare flower templates and trace them on a wide ribbon. Large and small blanks are best cut with curly scissors. To make a petal, you need to fold the cut out parts in the form of an accordion and steam them with an iron. Then drip glue onto the wire bent into a loop and put on the petals one by one, alternating large and small, as in a living flower. This chrysanthemum can be worn on clothes during Victory Day or used as decoration for a postcard for veterans.
With embroidery
In many schools, on the eve of May 9, schoolchildren embroider stars, flowers, dates, and inscriptions on St. George’s ribbons. Regular colored threads, floss, and special embroidery ribbons are suitable for this.

It is best to remove the St. George ribbon until next year or wear it on special dates - for example, on the day the Great Patriotic War began or on the day the Battle of Stalingrad ended.

The most grandiose holiday in May is Victory Day. Everyone is preparing for this celebration at different levels. In addition to the parade procession, laying flowers at monuments, and concerts, on May 9, all people put on St. George’s ribbons, which have remained one of the symbols of the Great Victory for many years in a row. And so that this symbol never loses its significance, every year we figure out how to design it in an original way, so that even modern youth would be interested in joining the May 9 holiday as a flash mob on a global scale. In our article you will find options on how to design the St. George ribbon, how to decorate it and attach it to clothes.
It is no coincidence that we associate the St. George's ribbon with Victory Day; this symbol has its own history. In the 18th century, as we all know from history, the Order of George was established, which was divided into 4 degrees:
- I degree - an order with a cross, a star and a ribbon on which orange and black stripes are located parallel to each other (2 orange and 3 black). This ribbon was worn on the right shoulder, and was necessarily worn not on the uniform, but under it.
Important fact! Why did the ribbon have exactly these color stripes? Orange and black are iconic colors because they symbolize military valor, the glory displayed on the battlefield.
- II degree is an order with a star and a large cross. It was worn around the neck, attached to a ribbon of the same color, but it was narrower in width.
- III degree is an order in the form of a cross, which was also worn around the neck.
- IV degree is an order in the form of a small cross placed in a buttonhole. This order is worn around the neck.
All the valiant warriors of Imperial Russia believed the highest award receive the Order of George for yourself. The same tradition was preserved during the Great Patriotic War and in our peacetime. It is impossible to imagine a distinguished Russian military man whose uniform is not decorated with award medals and badges suspended from orange and black ribbons.
Ordinary people who have nothing to do with military operations, but who honor the great exploits of the heroes of the Motherland, also attach a small badge made of ribbons of the same color as St. George’s to their clothes on the Great Victory Day. It became a kind of attribute of a military celebration. And, if you consider yourself one of the same people, then in our article you will learn how to make yourself beautiful decoration for Great Victory Day.

What do the colors of the St. George's ribbon mean?
As we noted above, the colors of the St. George ribbon are a symbol of military courage and bravery. However, in the truest sense of the word:

On the eve of the great holiday - Victory Day, it has recently become common among residents of Russia and other countries to wear a special symbol - the St. George's ribbon. If you wish, you can not remove the ribbon after the May 9 holiday and wear it all year round.
Many people, especially the younger generation, pay tribute to fashion and simply put on a ribbon without thinking about why it is needed. In fact, many do not know why this particular symbol of Victory has such a name, and what is the history of the St. George ribbon.
It is not easy to figure out in history exactly when this sign first appeared. Many historians adhere to the version that the St. George Ribbon was established in 1769 on November 26 by Catherine II, at the height of the Russian-Turkish War (1768-1774) to encourage the courageous actions of soldiers. The ribbon received this name from the valiant warrior St. George the Victorious. The motto of the symbol of courage is “For service and courage.”
The color of the badge was first yellow, then orange, that is, there were yellow or orange stripes on the black ribbon. This color design means “smoke and flame”, characteristic of wartime.
The St. George ribbons personify the feat of the Russian warrior on the battlefields, in the rear and on the front line.
Currently, most people associate the St. George ribbon with the symbol of victory in the Great Patriotic War, which our country won in 1945 on May 9. This day will forever remain in the memory of every Russian. And perhaps this is the only way our generation can express respect and deep gratitude to those who defended our Motherland.
For special achievements and participation in the Second World War, all participants in military operations received medals “For Victory”. The blocks of the new orders were covered with striped fabric - this is the St. George ribbon.

handmade masterpieces

The simplest option for folding a yellow-orange ribbon is a loop:
the tape must be placed on a flat surface;
fold it in half;
one free end needs to be pulled up a little so that it is shorter than the second;
pull this end a little to the side;
you should get the letter “G”;
You will get this neat loop:
Check mark
We bend the tape in half, shorten one end and give it the shape of a checkmark.
Nodule
For this method, it is enough to tie a knot on the ribbon itself. It should be tied lightly for an attractive appearance..
Simple bow
How to tie a St. George ribbon with a bow:
First you need to lay the tape out on the table and roll it into a loop (on one side).
Now we perform similar actions with the free end of the tape to also make a loop.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated. This option for tying the St. George ribbon is considered the simplest and is more suitable for everyday wear. No special tying skills are required; even a schoolchild can quickly tie a ribbon in this way in just a couple of minutes before going out.

Lightning
Ribbons laid out in this way look beautiful, especially on the lapel of a plain jacket. Making such a shape from tape is very simple:
take a piece of ribbon and small pins;
the tape needs to be laid out on the table and folded in three;
Now all that remains is to pull one end of the tape in one direction, and the other in the other (right and left);
you will get a zigzag or lightning;
you just need to fasten the ribbon very carefully with small pins to the clothing right on the table so as not to disturb the shape;
It is best to fasten with pins to the fabric where the ribbon is folded so that the pins do not stand out and keep the shape of the St. George ribbon.

place the tape on the table;
fold 4 times;
pull the edges;

Rules for wearing the Victory symbol
You need to wear the St. George ribbon correctly:
It is tied and then secured on the left side of the body, closer to the heart.
You can wrap it around your sleeve and tie it in a double knot.
If the accessory is worn with a sleeveless top, it is tied at the wrist.
It is allowed to attach the ribbon to the side mirror or antenna of the car.
Some progressive girls hang it on their bag. If earlier this method was considered a sign of disrespect for veterans, today it is completely acceptable.
First of all, you need to remember that the Victory Day attribute is not a stylish detail of the image, but a tribute to the ancestors for their feat in wartime and a symbol of victory over fascism.
This is not how you should wear a ribbon:
Ribbons should not be tied to animals, although many people love to do this. It is also undesirable to weave it into your hair, attach it to a loop of trousers or skirts, or tie it to shoes.
