Having outlined the basic items needed for making a bow from wrapping paper, now let dive in to giving a easy, precise and fast step by step description on how to make a bow out of wrapping paper.
Step-by-Step Directions
With a few supplies and these instructions, we’ll show you how to make a bow out of wrapping paper. Customize your handmade bow with patterned paper, felt, or embellishments, like glitter.
First, cut the template.
The procedure is the same whether you use felt or cardstock to construct the bows. Start by tracing the bow pattern onto the cloth you like, then cutting it out: This technique works best with lightweight papers, wrapping paper, scrapbook paper, and craft felt. Consider using a double-sided material because the bow folds over; if you choose patterned paper that is only printed on one side, the blank side will show.

Next, attach the bow.
It’s time to begin putting the bow together once you’ve cut out the three bow sections. Fold the pattern’s rounded piece so that the ends meet in the centre (this will form the three-dimensional part of the bow).
Use a hot glue gun to affix this region if you’re using felt. Hot glue is an option if you’re making a paper bow, but double-sided tape will also work. To make sure the bow sticks, firmly press the center.
Step #3: Complete the Bow
Once the rounded top section of your bow is complete (and any hot glue you used has completely dried), you may either use hot glue or double-sided tape to join it to the angular bottom section. After that, take the little rectangle and affix it vertically to the middle of the bow loops. Using whatever type of adhesive you’re using, fold each edge over so the two ends meet in the back (more glue or tape).

STEP 10 Repeat steps 7-9, starting with the 11″ looped strips and ending with the 10″ looped strips, to add your looped strips together with your glue runner.
STEP 11 (OPTIONAL)
Last but not least, use your glue runner to attach a tiny 1 inch loop of wrapping paper to the middle of your bow.
STEP 1 Start by cutting a strip 6 to 8 inches wide that spans the entire height of your wrapping paper roll. The paper strip should then be sliced in two along the long edge.
Set aside one half to create another bow later (or to make the next bow below).

STEP 3: After that, fringe-cut the paper’s frayed edges. The fringe on this bow should be wider than it was on the bow above.
