After the positive response to the instructions for the Paper Bows I have got another one for you. The samples have been made with my Hand Dyed Paper however you can use any paper (don’t forget those catalogues).
You will need: Paper in 2 colours, Paper trimmer or scissors, Double Sided Tape or Glue.
Step 1: Cut your paper into strips. The samples were 1cm x 19 cm. The length and width may need to vary depending on the weight of the paper. You need 8 strips in the first Colour and 4 in the other.
Step 2: Join the ends of the strips together to form a circle.
Step 3: Using 2 circles of the same colour, join them together forming a cross.
Step 4:Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have 4 crosses in Colour 1 and 2 crosses in Colour 2.
Step 5: Take 2 crosses of the Colour 1 and join them together. Make sure that you angle them so that you start to fill in the gaps. Next add a Colour 2 cross filling in another gap. Continue in the following order; Colour 2, Colour 1, Colour 1.
Step 6: Cut a strip of paper 1cm x 4 cm. Form into a circle. Place on top of bow.
Attach to present with a small strip of double sided tape.
