Ribbon Ties for Father’s Day

Try this easy necktie idea for dressing up a gift for Father’s Day (or any other occasion that calls for a masculine gift). It works best on a rectangular or tall gift. We’ve used our grosgrain ribbon, but any great fabric will work. We love using plaid or houndstooth gift wrap. See all our masculine wraps here.

You may already be a pro at tying a necktie; if not, the video below shows one way to do it (I used this method for the ties in the photo above). I recommend waiting to trim the ends in a “V” shape until you’re done tying – that way the edges won’t fray – and using some sharp scissors meant for fabric. 

For a square-shaped gift, you might try a bowtie instead.
