TUTORIAL IS BACKWARDS! LOL!

Okay so I am still learning how to do this instructions stuff. I apparently should work backwards for it to post the right way. So, anyway, work from the bottom up if you want to do this project.
Sorry guys.

Now that you have your bow, you will need to carefully start pulling to shape it. Remember the shorter you have cut your strips to work with the easier they are to come out of the group. So, cut long and then you can trim down when you are finished.

Then when you are satisfied with your bow, cut around it to make it symetrical.

Add it to your project. I used a big fat glue dot. Or you can even make these into hair accessories by adding one of those clips to the underside.

Enjoy.

Once all the layers are on, tie the string or ribbon lying underneath the stack tightly. This will make your "puff". Double knot it.

The second layer to the 4th and final layers should be angled opposite of each other (see photo).

Now lay down a piece of string (heavy duty) or ribbon that is about 6 inches long down and lay about 8 pieces of cut ribbon curls on top of it.

Pull out of oven and unwrap them from the dowel. And cut into about 4" sections. I used 3 colors to show how to layer. You can use one color by all means.

In a preheated 275 degree oven, either line your baking rack with foil or if you don't have any foil, use a cookies sheet and set your wrapped dowels out so that none of the actual ribbon is touching the rack or cookie sheet. (The clothespins help by being a "stand" to keep them raised off of direct surface), bake for 15-20 minutes.
