March Card Club
For the bow in this card we used a handmade bow template.
The measurements to make the bow template are below, and it was cut
out of cardboard.
I used a ribbon about 17 inches long.
Start on the left side, using your thumb hold a bit of ribbon
diagonal from the left to the right upper portion of the template
Wrap the ribbon from the right, around the front toward the left.
Wrap the ribbon around once more, around the back and around the front for
a double bow in the example. There should be two rows of ribbon
on the front and one on the back with the end of the ribbon hanging to the left.
Take the left upper ribbon and insert it into the space in the template
below the ribbon that was wrapped around the upper portion of the template.
Bring it to the top of the ribbon, keeping it in the space
of the template.
Now take the ribbon that is under your thumb and line it up with the other
end of the ribbon as shown above.
Tie a knot with the two ends of the ribbon it should look like this above.
This is what it should look like from the front.
Now slide the bow off the template and adjust and fluff the ribbon to your liking.
You can use the ends to wrap around paper as in the example above, or adjust
the ends below the bow and trim as desired.
