Materials:
- Camo duct tape
- Sheet of 8 ½” x 11” printer paper
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Mini Bowdabra bow maker
- Hair bow tool and ruler attachment
- Bowdabra bow wire
- Pencil
Instructions:
- Cover a standard sized sheet of printer paper with the camo duct tape completely on one side. Trim off all the excess duct tape all around.
- Place the paper on your work surface. Fold in half. Unfold and fold again to the fold line. Repeat for the other side.
- Open the paper, turn sideways and fold in half. Unfold and you will see 8 fold sections. Measure up ¾” on each of the 3 fold lines on each side.
- Cut to the ¾” mark you made on each fold line on each side.
- Turn and fold to the first fold line.
- Turn again and fold in half.
- Cut off the corner at an angle in the closed corner.
- Unfold and open and there will be a triangle cut out on one side. Fold up the tab (3/4” cuts) under the triangle shape, skip a section and fold a tab up in the next section. Repeat on the other side.
- Turn and fold both sides over to the centerline. Fold in half. Make sure the diamond cutout is on the inside.
- Fold the tabs into the side pockets. Cut a piece of duct tape that will fit across the ends and attach to secure. Do the same on the other side.
- Make the bow. Wrap a small box with a dark solid color paper. Cut two pieces of duct tape 9” x 1”. Attach together to make a duct tape ribbon.
- Cut a piece of bow wire 18” long, fold in half and insert into the Mini Bowdabra. You will have a loop on one end and two loose wires on the other.
- Fold the duct tape strip in half to find the center, pinch to a mountain fold and insert into the bow maker.
- Make a loop, pinch to a mountain fold and insert into the bow maker.
- Make a matching loop on the other side. Scrunch down with the Bowdabra wand.
- Insert the two loose wires through the loop while the bow is still in the Bow maker pull tight. Remove from the Bowdabra turn to the back and tie a knot. Adjust the loops if necessary. Use a pencil to wrap the excess wire around to make a curl. Attach to the gift box.
