The Perfect Celebration Bow

Bows are the perfect toppers for all of your gift packages and treat containers! They can turn an ordinary gift into a thoughtful treasure! These instructions are for the thicker, cardstock-weight, printed paper. However, the pattern can be easily adapted for thinner-weight paper or gift wrap (measurements for thinner-weight paper are found within the instructions). This bow is made even more special because you can pick and choose your favorite printed paper, creating a one-of-a-kind bow!

Supplies Needed:
Favorite sheet of printed paper
Paper cutter
Stapler
Hot glue gun
Double stick tape

Step 1
Cardstock-weight bows
- Cut 3/4" strips in the following lengths: 3 - 9"; 2 - 8"; 1 - 3"

Thinner-weight bows
- Cut 3/4" strips in the following lengths: 3 - 9"; 3 - 8"; 3 - 7"; 1 - 3"


Step 2
Starting with the longest strips, twist each side and fold it back towards the center front, as shown. Staple both ends securely together in the center (or you can use a hot glue gun). Use double stick tape for the 3" center strip and simply bring the ends together to create a circle.


Step 3
Not it is time to assemble the bow! Layer your first three larger pieces evenly in a circle, placing a dab of hot glue between each layer. Begin to layer the next size evenly, ending with the center little circle in the middle.


Step 4
Now you have a beautiful bow that just needs to be placed on a very special gift or treat!
