DT Feb/14 - Paper Bow - A Smile
That You Send Out card
Created: February 7, 2014 I came across this style of bow making and really thought it was pretty, so wanted to make one... And the frame is from my junkie embellies that I know I would never use as it was... I'm also using a quote stamp from Quietfire Design

I side folded my cream
toned card. Adhered a piece of Chiyogami paper I've had around for
quite some time... (green with white dots), leaving a scant border
all around.
Now take one of the 4.5" & the 5 or 6" piece and round the corners on either ends. see pic below. PS I usually turn my board around... which is why the pics look like they are upside down.
Next take the last 4.5" piece and punch either end, insert it approx. half way between the punch edges
And this is what you should end up with: Now gently massage the ends between your fingers to give them some pliability & start the curve. Put a dab of glue on either end (just on the edge), then turn the end and have it meet just at the edge of the center indent. Press down to make sure it stays put. Do this to both round edged pieces.
When both loop parts of the bow are adhered, stack them right sides facing up, and adhere them together at the center, then glue the nicked end piece in the center and adhere under the larger of the loop pieces. Voila - either put a small piece of the paper around the center or just add a nice rhinestone or other decorative element.
