Tie" is just the normal word for keeping something together with an object. "Bind" is a word that implies that you do not want that object to move/get away/otherwise.
Ex:
He tied her hands together. (He put her hands together but he hasn't expressed whether or not it's important they stay together...the focus is on the action of tying)
He bound her hands together. (He tied them in such a way she most likely will not be able to escape- the focus is on the action of making sure she can't get away).
I tied a knot in the ribbon on the present. (The focus is on the tying of the knot for the presentation of the present)
I bound the ribbon to the present. (The focus is now on the fact that the ribbon cannot be easily removed from the present).
Anyway I think this is a general rule. Tying usually implies things like string, laces, twine, anything you can manipulate into a knot.
But bind can include anything that can be stuck together OR tied. Metal, glue, plastic, etc..
And, finally, "bind" can just be considered a more formal word. Although you cannot say "I bound my shoes" for "I tied my shoes" (unless you made it so your shoes are totally stuck together!)
