Making Personalized Bows Tutorial and Free Gift Bow Download

Good day everyone. I would like to share a handy way to make your own cutting files for personalized gift bows. I made a tutorial to help walk you through the easy steps of making some nice little bows. The great thing about being able to do this is you will never have to run to the store at the last minute to purchase a bow which re wish you forgot when you bought the gift and wrapping paper. The other nice thing is you can personalize it.

Before making the tutorial I made some bows and would like to share them with all of you. They are quite lovely. The Looped Base bow leaves a open space in the middle where you can add the Bubble, Simple, or Happy Birthday bow. It's a nice full bow when all put together. It's really a quick project to do. The only problems I had was with my darn Ratchet Blade. I just opened it up two weeks ago and it's already not doing a great job cutting. It was rather frustrating. I love my Cameo but I sure wish they would come up with a blade you can easily replace the blade and not have to cost so much. I know they should last for a while and make lots of cuts. My luck with the Silhouette Ratchet blades has not fared too well. I ruined two blades trying to clean out the housing. I know, it's probably just me. In a way, I miss the old cap blades. I never had any problems with them.Okay, enough of my whining...lol. Time for me to share the bows, tutorial and some pictures.

You can download the Gift Bows ------> HERE They are in .svg, .dxf, and Studio formats. In the tutorial I'm using the Silhouette Designer Edition. I just love this software!
