Bow 3D Double Loops

Large gift deluxe gift box has crossed streamers, 

pairs of large and medium joined-strip loops 

and a center large brad for a stunning box-topper 

for gifting or display. 

Measures approx. 6.5" wide x 6.75" long x 1.75" tall. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A streamer shape (2)
B large loop halves (4)
C medium loop halves (4)

2. Position the streamers into "X" form with

center punch holes aligned, and side edges

lined up at guide dash marks.

Glue the overlapping surfaces together.

3. Join the strip halves together at the squared

ends by overlapping to line up punch holes,

with side edges also aligned.

Complete 2 large loop units and 2 medium loop units.

4. Add some curl to the center only portions

of each loop "half" by running the loop over

a barrel-like tool such as this tailor's pencil

or dowel, while applying thumb/finger pressure

(think curling ribbon).

It may require more than one pass across

the tool to achieve the regular, even curl desired.

5. Form the loop strip unit into its final shape
by bringing rounded ends toward center,
one at a time, aligning punch holes, and
gluing the area around the holes into position. 
Complete this step for all loop units.

6. Position the first large loop unit over the streamer

base with punch holes aligned (here and

throughout), with the loop at the 45 degree angle

that places it halfway between streamer extensions,

and glue in place where surfaces overlap.

7. Position the second large loops unit
over assembly at appropriate angle
as shown, and glue in place.
8. Flatten the loops slightly - use gentle, steady 
downward palm pressure, taking care
NOT to form creases at loop centers.
This will allow medium loops to sit in place better.

9. Position the first medium loop over the
assembly, aligning directly over the steamer
beneath, and attach in place.

10. Position and attach the final medium

loop assembly. Flatten the medium loop

ends in similar manner to flattening

of larger loops in step 8, for a uniform look.

11. Insert a medium or oversize brad through

the center hole punches, bend and tighten

prongs on backside.

Dimensional double bow is now complete,

ready to attach to package or decoration.

2. Prepare the crown back by bending the bottom

flange tab forward.

assembly by first applying adhesive to the face side

of the tab flange, then . . .

over the crown point and sliding it down into

position, until . . . 

. . . crown bend edge is seated snug agains
crown unit edges, as shown here.

6. Position and attach the sentiment panel

on the inside back of the brim.

7. Prepare the look shape by adding curl to

the center of the loop extension on both left

and right. To do this, use a rod shaped tool

such as a round pencil shaft, with loop shape

between pencil and thumb. Apply pressure

as the loop is drawn across the tool edge.

8. Prepare the loop unit by bringing each loop

end "tab" area to center back in turn,

attaching first one side, then the other.

9. Position and attach loop unit over streamers

shape, matching punch circles at center.

10. Position and attach center only of center strip

over loop/streamer unit, matching punch circles.

11. Insert and attach decorative brad at center . . .

. . . bending back prongs, then . . .

on the front of the completed hat

(quick grab glue recommended).
