Bow 3D Large for Package

Decorate a large package or project with 

this simply-constructed bow decoration which measures 

approx. 3" wide x 7" long x .75" tall.  

3D bow is composed of shaped streamer base, 

loop shape (ends curl under and overlap at center), 

and center wrap band, each with punch hole for alignment 

and to accept a reg. size brad decoration. 

Optional shapes (no-punch center band, brad head circle) 

can be used to create a bow that does not 

include a brad embellishment. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A streamers base
B loops shape   C center band (with brad punches)
D optional brad "topper" circle

2. Prepare the loops layer by gently adding curl

at the widest portion on each side of center,

so the loops will attractively curl but NOT bend.

3. Curl the loop ends to the center back, overlap

and align the guide dots of each layer,

and glue the "tab" portions only in place.

4. Optional: add a slight downward curl to 

the streamers base just beyond the center

connector area.

5. Layer the bow unit over the streamer shape

and match punch circles, center loops over

streamer shape, and securely attach 

center portions only in place.

6. To assist the center wrap band to "curl" around

the bow assembly and NOT bend flat, add some

curl to the areas to each side of center guide dot

(or midway along each end of strip if using

non-punched strip shape).

7. Position one end of strip on the backside of bow

assembly with punch circles aligned, then wrap strip around

to front . . . 

. . . across front and around to back again

to line up punch circles and glue end in place.

8. Position and attach a regular or large brad

at center with . . . 

. . . circle cover over brad if desired,

OR

simply position and attach circle at center to

over guide punch circles.

Here is the completed bow.
