Spring is a perfect time to add a pretty little bow on your packages and party decor. For this template I have included four sizes from the large bow that I used for my holiday decor to tiny version that I used for the mini bow oil cloth rings, along with two sizes in between. These are outline templates that you can print onto your pretty paper, or print in card stock and use to outline onto you paper. For those of you who have a cutting machine I am also including the SVG file to make these bows. Once you have your bows cut and ready to assemble, you can use the tutorial in this post. Enjoy the bow templates and let me know all the places you will be using them this spring! ~ Lia

This is perfect! I’ll definitely be making these to use on my son’s gifts for his birthday in a few weeks. I always want to put bows on his gifts but never want to spend the money on them. These paper bows will be a nice compromise 🙂

Hi, I need help. I joined the group but when I try to download the bow template, nothing happens. Is it suppose to open so I can print it? Thank you!

  Hi Julie! If you are signed in (as a paid member), you’ll be able to download the templates. The PDF usually opens in a new browser window or will be saved to a Downloads folder, same as the SVG file. Hope that helps!

      There is Design Space app for iPhone/iPad that allows you to cut projects, but the project would need to be loaded into Design Space from a computer.

  Hi! We do design and print a lot of our own papers and gift wrap, but a few of these are double-sided scrapbook papers found at various craft and paper shops around town 🙂

Hello. Thank you for this. I wanted a temporary to make bows for my little girls but you have given me lots of ideas. Should I print the templates out on A4 paper? X

  Yes, A4 paper should work perfectly!

These bows are so cute and exactly what I need at the moment as I’m working on a commission for Practical Publishing (in Australia), doing a collection of cards featuring paper bows. Your templates are so great that I couldn’t improve on them if I tried. (And believe me, I have tried!) What would you think if I placed a link to this entry in your blog, so that readers could download their own templates? You would get full acknowledgement of your work (which,by-the-way is AMAZING! Your ideas and tutorials are excellent and comprehensive.) Please let me know what you think. Cheers, Janelle

I’m still trolling your posts to get caught up. So much goodness you share. Thanks a bunch Lia. Love everything you share with us. These bows are too cute, will be using these for sure. I had to get one of those portfolios with multiple pockets to keep all your projects posts in. Almost ready to get another one it’s getting so full. You are so admired and appreciated. Happy weekend

aaaw i like those paper bows of yours, i have seen them elsewhere and allways thought i must try this.
but perhaps it was not having or finding a good template.
The idea of yours to add them to a pencil is briliant.
so thank you for the sharing your generousity to gave the templates for free and the tute.

Ooohhh, you KNOW I am ALL over this! I absolutely love the idea of using the bows on straws and bottles. Your bow templates are one of the most versatile patterns ever and I’ve used them a billion times already. (Hence my need for a Cricut!)
