Weaving begins at the neck; it is the most difficult to design. The tapes are cut into small pieces, and each subsequent piece should overlap the previous one and fit tightly. The length of each subsequent segment should be slightly longer than the previous one, as the neck of the bottle expands. It is better to choose tapes with a width of 2-2.5 cm; it is more convenient to work with. It is better to cut the ribbon after you try on the required length on the bottle.
All pieces of tape on the neck must be fixed with glue, and do this carefully so that the glue does not bleed through the fabric. Your braid should resemble a braid. Then the bottle is pasted over in a circle. It is difficult to give an exact answer as to how much ribbon is needed to decorate wedding bottles. The narrower the braid, the greater the consumption. With a standard ribbon width, it takes an average of 5 m, but remember that you will need ribbons of different colors.
