Noche Buena flower
The Noche Buena flower (poinsettia) is a beloved symbol of Christmas in Mexico, representing joy and beauty during the holiday season. Inspired by this festive flower, we’ll show you how to craft a beautiful gift bow directly on Viva Maia packaging—no extra wrapping paper needed!
A Mexican Symbol
The Noche Buena flower, known globally as the poinsettia, originates from Mexico, where it is deeply intertwined with Christmas traditions. Aztecs called it Cuetlaxochitl, using its vibrant red leaves for dyes and its sap for medicinal purposes.
In Mexican folklore, the flower became a Christmas symbol through the story of a poor child who offered humble weeds at a church altar, which miraculously bloomed into stunning red poinsettias. Today, the Noche Buena represents purity, hope, and the joy of the holiday season, adorning homes and celebrations across Mexico and beyond.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Hold the Ribbon: Hold the ribbon between your thumb and index finger.
- Loop the Ribbon: Wrap the ribbon multiple times around your index and middle fingers, forming loops.
- Tie the Loops: Carefully slide a final loop around the existing loops to secure them.
- Secure the Bow: Use the same ribbon to tie a knot around the center of the loops. This will keep the bow in place.
- Attach the Ribbon to the Box: Wrap the remaining ribbon around the box, sliding it through the side parts of the packaging for a snug fit.
- Position the Bow: Place the bow on top of the box and fix the remaining ribbon at the bottom or inside the box to hold it securely.
- Polish the Look: Smooth out the ribbon, fluff the loops, and trim the edges for a clean, polished appearance.
- Admire Your Work: Your Viva Maia gift is now beautifully wrapped and ready to impress!
