Volunteers begin to distribute the St. George ribbon a few days before the great holiday, Victory Day. Anyone can take this “accessory” and attach it to clothes as a sign of memory, gratitude and respect to the participants of the Great Patriotic War.
The St. George ribbon is not a stylish newfangled accessory that can be worn as you like. This attribute is a sign of memory and grief, respect for veterans, so you need to handle the tape carefully, use it only for its intended purpose.
The St. George ribbon is usually worn on the chest, and exclusively on the left. Why exactly on the left? On the left is the heart, and wearing a ribbon on this side of the chest is a sign of memory of the exploits of Russian soldiers. Therefore, this wearing option is the most preferable.
As for the options of how to pin the St. George ribbon to your chest, there are a lot of them. By experimenting, you can choose the most suitable option for yourself.
Buttonhole made of St. George ribbon
The easiest way to wear the ribbon is to sew / attach it to the clothes in the form of a loop. To do this, you need to take a ribbon 10-15 centimeters long by the ends on both sides and fold the ends in the form of the letter "x". After that, the product can be attached with a needle / pin or fastened to the garment with a thread (one or two stitches). The puncture must be in the place where the ends of the tape meet, otherwise the structure will simply fall apart.
St. George ribbon bow
A slightly more complicated option is a bow. To make a nice bow, you need to take a tape 15-20 centimeters long, divide it visually into three equal parts, and bend the ribbon so that its ends are crossed at the places of the proposed splits. After that, the product can be bandaged in the middle with a thread or fixed immediately with a brooch / hairpin on clothes.
