Perfect for Any Occasion!
Add a touch of handmade charm to your holiday gifts or any special occasion by using different double-sided papers to create custom bows.
Simple Steps to Perfect Bows
1 Use the Take Your Bow die to cut 2 pieces of 6″x6″ double-sided paper.
2 Organize pieces by length. Wrap and glue each piece so the same side is showing and angles line up.
3 Glue each pair together. Make them as long as possible. You will have 3 long pairs, 2 medium pairs and 1 small for the center of the bow. Second option for bow center is to make a cylinder with one of the small strips.
4 Assemble and glue pieces together into bow.
5 Add Tear & Tape to the back so the bow is ready to use when you need it (no searching for tape).
Helpful Tips
Time Saving Tips:
- Cut both pieces of paper at once
- Use a tiny drop of glue – it will dry faster
- Use paper clips for faster assembly
- Add Tear & Tape to the back of bow (so it’s ready to add to a gift)
Helpful Reminders:
- Place glue on the side of the paper you want to be on the outside of the bow
- When gluing pairs together, make them as long as possible
Kits Make Perfect Gifts
Kits come with everything you need to make the project inside. This makes them absolutely perfect for gift giving. I use them for:
- birthdays
- house warming
- hostess gift when someone invites us for dinner
- friends recovering from surgery
- bridesmaids or bridal shower
- Mother’s day
- graduations
- appreciation gifts for teachers, coaches, nurses
- holidays
The sturdy box is so nice, you don’t even need to wrap it when you add a bow!
