This is the classic style where you wrap the ribbon in a cross over the wrapping paper or box and bring the knot to the front.

Because it secures the edges of a rectangle, it also suggests reinforcement so the paper or box doesn’t lift.

It may be easiest to conceal them by aligning the cross and the knot in the same position.

It’s also important to pay attention to the ribbon’s front and back to create a soft, elegant finish.
