5 loop bow tutorial using 3d Bows cartridge

Hello, friends!

Today's post is the third 3D Bow tutorial in this week's series using the 3D bow cartridge. It is the 5 loop bow tutorial and is the largest of the 4. This particular bow does require a long brand to hold it all together. Do not try a small brad. It simply will not be able to handle all of the paper. At least the small brads I have didn't.

I had a few questions about the Cricut Craft Room and how it all works. Yes, you have to buy this content online and it goes into your craft room. Provo Craft did a wonderful job of making how to videos using this new system. Make sure you guys check them out. You will be very impressed. There is a blog that is completely dedicated to Cricut Craft Room, so you might want to poke around there and see what information you can find that is helpful. I have heard it is super duper helpful!! Here is the link ==> http://cricutcraftroomblog.blogspot.com/

The yellow bow on the bottom is the one I am showing you today. It is very easy to make and comes out quite large. This bow was cut at the same size as the others and was considerably larger. I used Close to My Heart cardstock and patterned paper.

This is the base cut and cut out at 4".

This is the shift cut and is also cut at 4".

I then glued them all together.

Using the shortest piece, I made a loop and push a brad through the hole to keep it in place.

Then I added the second smallest piece. I drew in each end and added it to the brad.

This is what it looks like when you have completed this step. Do not bend down the legs of the brad yet.

Repeat that step with the largest piece.

This piece is the ribbon tail.

Stick the brad through the center and now you can bend down the legs of the brad.

VOILA!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow with a winner for the cartridge and the last tutorial on Friday. I love you all! Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!

And here’s a bonus: many of the images in the set coordinate with our Cricut^® Art Philosophy cartridge for added cutting and stamping fun! 

So to break it down, 

-If you spend $50 you get the November stamp of the month (retails price of $17.95) for $5.

-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!
