Napkin Bow

Many people prefer to give handmade gifts. At the same time, the packaging of such a presentation is often not worth it. After all, it can also be done independently. For example, wrap a gift in beautiful paper, and decorate with a bow made of paper napkins on top. Its creation does not take much time, if you follow the step-by-step photos of our master class.
To create a bow, prepare:

• - paper towel;
• - scissors;
• - wooden skewers;
• - stapler.

First, the napkin needs to be cut into 4 equal parts, focusing on the fold lines. As a result, we got square blanks. But we need rectangles, so we cut a small strip (about 2.5 cm) from one edge.
We take one layer of a napkin and start from a wide edge to wind it on a wooden skewer.
Twist only to the middle.
From the opposite edge we make a similar twisting of the napkin.
Now we hold fingers from the edges and shift the twisted napkin to the center.
The resulting workpiece is removed from wooden skewers.
According to the same principle, it is required to make blanks from the remaining three layers of the napkin. After that we proceed to the formation of the bow. To do this, slightly unwind one workpiece.
Squeeze a bit around the edges.
Now fold in half and fix with a stapler.
In the same way, we make another same element. After that we connect them together with a stapler. The outlines of our bow began to appear.
We still have 2 more blanks.
One of them is a little straightened.
After that we twist it in the center.
We apply the resulting blank to the main part of the bow.
The remaining workpiece, we fix the previously applied elements. To do this, use the stapler again.
Spread the tip a little.
Now at the edges we will make triangular cutouts.
A similar cutout can be made on the central strip. Our paper napkin bow is ready.
