Classic gift bow tutorial using the 3D Bows cartridge.

Hello, friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! I know I did! My husband has been working very late nights as of late, so a four day weekend with him was great!

Well, today I have the 3D Bow tutorial conclusion with the most festive bow of the set! Now this bow can be easily duplicated many times and with a little adhesive popped on the back you'll have yourself some beautiful custom bows!

The bow I will be showing you today is the purple one on the right. I used Close To My Heart cardstock and patterned paper.

I cut the base out at 4".

The shift layer was also cut out at 4".

I adhered the pieces together.

Then took the smallest piece and brought the ends together with a brad. To use the same brad for the entire bow you MUST use a brad with long legs. I could not find one that matched, so I used three different brads and then adhered the pieces together.

After flipping over the cut, I then stuck the brad through the center of the smallest 'x' like shown.

then I brought one of the ends around and put the legs of the brad through hole.

I repeated this process three more times.

This is the end result.

I repeated the process two more times with the other cuts.

Then I adhered the together making sure I staggered them as I stacked them.

Thank so much for stopping by today! I will see you all back here tomorrow with another great project idea!

-These two offers can be combined. For example, if you spend $25 in stamps and an additional $25 on anything else in the catalog you will get both stamp sets for a total of $10 ($5 per set). 

You save $25.90! Which means the stamps practically pay for themselves!
