Freebie Friday: How to Make a Paper Bow
What a great way to dress up a package, a bottle of wine or any gift: a hand-crafted paper bow in this crisp red or yellow chevron pattern. Below you will find a link to download and print both the red and yellow paper bow templates. Once you have opened the pdf, simply print onto your everyday printer paper (not cardstock).
Once you have printed your paper bow templates,
follow my step-by-step guide below to make your packages pop!














Pure awesomeness! Thank you!!!! :)
these are so sweet. thank you ♥
Supper cool!!!! I wish I had seen this earlier today, because this afternoon I spent a lot of money buying ribbon to make bows. I absolutely love your site, especially the diy. Thank you for sharing. :D
The good news is. . . you can use these through out the year!
I just printed the red bow! I’ve been wrapping gifts all day and I can’t wait to place this on one of the boxes. Thank you so much for your Friday Freebies. I love them. They’re also so stylish and well-designed!
Oh, do I have little packages that need these bows – thanks so much!
Did you print these on just A4 paper or 12×12? These are gorgeous and am dying to try…
The pdf is set up for an 8.5X11 but they should work on an A4 as well.
Hey! I LOVE bows- and this is super adorable. Thank you for sharing. I was wondering where you found the “A gift for you tag”? I love that tag. Is that a free printable here?
thank you again for sharing.
Merry Christmas

Well, I have a great gift this can be used for- and I decided to print the red “bow” out. I found the little tag. So sweet!
Thank you:)
I love it!!
I just stumbled onto your site via Pinterest and I love it.
I am interested in making these paper bows out of preprinted scrapbook paper – I have loads of it that I need to use. What a wonderful way to re-purpose paper :)
So, is there a way to print the template lines only onto my own paper?? I really do not need the yellow or red
design to be printed (however it is super cute).
Thanks in advance:)
You know what I did, as I had other paper I wanted to use too, was printed one of these designs on a card stock, then trimmed it and with a quick pencil marking around the shapes, used it as a template for my other paper. It worked great!
Genious! Thanks for the tip :)
Found these via Pinterest… absolutely gorgeous! Cannot wait to try these out!
