In the August/September 2004 papercrafts issue there was a small article on making paperbows (page 91).
I thought this would be perfect for our two sided decorative paper. I also wheeled and stamped our SU wrapping paper to match.
Big Bow:
cut 17 strips 1x8
Form loops using mono to adhere
Then make one spiral of loops and secure it with a brad. Then make a 2nd spiral of loops and secure it with a brad.
Then adhere one spiral to the other with a large glue dot.
For the center loop just fold a strip into a circle and adhere it to the center.
I added a tag.
note: 17 strips equals 1 piece of 12x12 plus 1 strip. So it's best to mix and match. Sometimes I mixed decorative paper with my own stamped wrapping paper strips or with some gold/silver paper I had on hand.
It's very easy..easier then I can explain it. My customers loved it!!!!
