A transitive verb implying a material instrument/means appears with the instrument/means as direct object and an into-phrase describing the product or outcome, e.g. He tied the ribbon into a bow. This could perhaps be seen as an instance of the Instrumental Object alternation, with an into-resultative phrase in place of a locative (compare: He tied the ribbon around the parcel).
