Super Easy Paper Bows

Hi, Everybody! Today I would like to show you how to make a Super Easy Paper Bow to decorate any of your gifts with a little of your own personal style.

Step 1:

Gather the following items:

-Your favorite pattern 12"x12" paper. (I chose Florentine (Product# X7153B) B&T Duos Paper from CTMH)

-Paper Trimmer (Product# Z1783)

-Tombo Mono Adhesive (Product# 1514)

-Stapler

-Glue Dots (Product# 1772)

Step 2:

Once you have gathered everything that you need, cut your paper into 3/4 inch strips. Leave 6 of the strips full size. Cut 1 inch off 4 of the strips. Cut 2 inches off 1 of the strips. And lastly cut 1 strip down to 5 inches. The remaining strips put aside as backup fillers.

Step 3:

Twist each strip with loose loops on each side (except for the 5inch strip). Secure the ends to the center with the double sided tape. Then take the 5 inch strip & form it into a circle & secure it with a glue dot.

Step 4:

Take 3 of the larger pieces & layer them on top of each other. Make sure to space them evenly & secure the center with a staple. Repeat process with remaining 3 large pieces. Then stack & secure the 2 pieces with a glue dot.

Step 5:

Take 4 of the 11 inch pieces & layer them on top of each other. Make sure to space them evenly & secure the center with a staple. Then stack & secure it to the center of the bow with a glue dot.

Step 6:

Take the 10 inch piece & secure it to the center of the bow with a glue dot.

Step 7:

Finally, take the 5 inch loop & place it into the center before securing it. If it looks like the bow may need some extra loops then take one of your extra strips & cut it down to 10 inches. Twist the strip with 2 loops on each side, secure it the center of bow & then secure the 5 inch loop. If it doesn't need the extra loop then secure the 5 inch loop to the center.

That's it, Your Done! Get busy making your bows today as the Holiday's are rapidly approaching us.
