Chantel Mila (a mother-of-two from Melbourne) demonstrated the process in her most viral TikTok video.
You can make a perfect ribbon by cutting it 5 times as long as the gift, wrapping it twice on each side before you tie the bow.

The longer end was then slipped through the opening in the middle between two fingers, and wrapped around the wrist.
She pulled the ribbon gently down until it was tightened in the middle. Then she took the ribbon off her fingers and formed the sides of the bow.
Once the second strand had been pulled down, the bow formed.
