PAPER BOW DIRECTIONS

Paper Bows:
6" x12" piece of double sided patterned paper
paper cutter
pop-up glue dots
Adhesive
Brads (3)
1/16" Circle punch

Cut 8 strips of 1" x 6", 4 strips of 1" x 5", and 1 strip of 1" x 4". It is important to cut the 1" x 4" strip before cutting the 1" x 5" strips.
Take 4 - 1" x 6" strips with pattern "A" face up and put adhesive on one end of each strip.
Take the other 4 - 1" x 6" strips with pattern "B" face up and put adhesive on one end of each strip.
Take the 4 - 1" x 5" strips with pattern "A" face up and put adhesive on one end of each strip.
Take the 1" x 4" strip with pattern side "B" face up and put adhesive on one end.
Wrap the 1" x 6" strips and the 1" x 5" strips end to end on an angle to make like a cone shape.
Wrap the 1" x 4" strip one end to the other end straight to make a circle. (This will be the center of your bow).
Use the 1/16" circle punch to punch a hole at the bottom of each "petal" (remember to keep your strips separate. Don’t mix your 6" and your 5" strips together)
Use a brad to attach the petals together. 4 "petals" for each brad.
Place a pop-up glue dot in the center of each layer and stack each layer by alternating patterns. Finish bow by placing the 1" x 4" strip in the middle.
