Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cut Out Your Bow Shapes

• Using the preprinted template, carefully cut out your bow shape.

• Ensure clean edges for a polished final look.

Step 2: Create the Bow Loops

• Take both ends of the faux leather bow piece and fold them inward, slightly overlapping the center.

• Adjust the loops to ensure they are even and symmetrical.

Step 3: Pinch and Secure the Bow Shape

• Pinch the center of the bow two to three times to create a classic pinwheel shape.

• Secure the center by wrapping it with thread or a small rubber band.

• Important: The rubber band must be actual rubber to prevent melting when applying glue later.

Step 4: Attach the Center Piece

• Take the small center strip and fold it around the center of the bow.

• Apply a small dab of hot glue to hold the fold in place.

Step 5: Secure the Clip to the Bow

• Apply a mix of hot glue and Loctite (or Gorilla Super Glue) to the back of the bow.

• Loop the center strip through the clip and pull it tight.

• Secure the center piece by gluing it down to the back of the bow, ensuring a strong hold.
