Bow making has never been easier .. All you will need is a 6 X 12 piece of designer paper ( I am using flowers for you in my video Tutorial )
You will need
(8) strips of 1X 6" (these strips are for the base and 1st layer of Bow )
(1) strip of 1 X 4" ( This strip is for the center of bow , This layer will be a smaller piece once you put them together.. You can tell the difference ) and
( 4 ) strips of 1 X 5" ( these strips are for the 2nd layer of the bow)
But before you cut ~ watch the video below because you will use pretty much all of your 6×12 piece of DS paper .
along with your 1/16th hand punch and some sort of adhesive with 3 brads and 4 pop up glue dots . follow along with the video tutorial below and have fun making all your bows for all your gift giving this upcoming year..Trust me you will try and find reasons to make these bows cause they are so fun and easy to make.
Double sided paper works great for these bows because you can keep all layers in the same design side OR swap the layers and make the bow different in designs ..( As I did in this video tutorial ) Also a side note at one point in this video I refer to the 8 ~1 X 6 " strips as" 8 inches" this is refering to the (8) 1 X 6 " strips ( sorry ) If you make it to the end of this video there is a little tip I share with you.. OH yes I will also say OOPS about the pause in the middle of the video too.. I guess it just proves that No one is perfect Hee! Hee! Thank God for that huh? But remember there are NO mistakes in Stampin Wink! Wink!
Enjoy
Until later … Happy Stampin
Dawn…you are just soo cute! I loved listening to your accent!! :-)And the tutorial was fabulous! Thanks for making it. Happy New Year!
What an AWESOME idea! I’ve got to try this. By the way I am deaf so visuals especially in videos are VERY HELPFUL! If there were any tips you included in the video that I might have missed (audio) please include them in your blog so I can appreciate them too! You are appreciated for your tips and your beautiful artwork! Happy New Year.
Great video, I have wanted to try a bow but just didn’t want to sit down & figure it out….you solved my dilemma. Thank you! Love the tip at the end….great idea!!!!!
Making Bows ..
Bookmarked your post over at Blog Bookmarker.com!
Awesome tutorial!!! I’m sooo happy you have this on your blog, now I know where to find it whenever I need it (I’ve lost my directions, or they could just be filed, to me that is lost hee hee).
Love how you had to step away…you know how you said “hold on”, you’ve said that to me on the phone before…it was like deja vu. Great job!!!!
LOVE these bows Dawn! Fabulous video! Love your little accent too…hehe!
Thanks for the tutorial! This was pretty cool! 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was surfing blogs before Christmas and found the directions fro this and forgot to write down WHERE I saw it and have been searching for it ever since! You’ve saved the day!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Dawn. I hope you continue with the tutorials because they are awesome. I love the step by step as I am more of a hands on learner than having to read directions.
You are such an inspiration and I appreciate you. Happy New Year!
Dawn,
Thanks so much for the bow tutorial. It looks like you’ve made lots of these – even with the little pause it was a smooth transition!
