Lets look at how to use our paper bow sheets that will feature on our Show on Create & Craft at 1pm on Friday 4th November. In  the kit you will get 1 sheet of large bows, 1 sheet of small bows and one sheet of ribbon strips.

The kit will let you make 108 bows to add to your crafting projects.

First of all we'll look at the large bow. For this just pop one of the larger bows out of the sheet and also cut one of the thinner ribbon strips from it's sheet. FIG:1

Firstly take each of the bottom two corners and fold up into the middle securing with either glue or strong double sided tape. FIG:2

Do the same with the top two corners, folding them into the middle keeping the paper nice and curled. FIG 3

Then wrap the attached center strip around the bow again securing with glue or double sided tape. FIG 4

 Keep wrapping around and finish off on the back of the ribbon. FIG: 5

Apply the bow to the ribbon strip and that is all there is to it. FIG 6. Use the bows and ribbon on your paper crafting projects. We'll be back later to show you how to create the other style of bow that you get in the kit.
